  1. Path (graph theory)

    In graph theory , a path in a graph mathematics graph is a sequence of vertex graph theory vertices such that from each of its vertices there is an edge graph theory edge to the next vertex in the sequence. A path may be infinite, but a finite path always has a first vertex, called its start vertex , and a last vertex, called its end vertex . Both of them are called end or terminal vertices of the path. The other vertices in the path are internal vertices . A cycle is a path such that the start vertex ... of graph theory, described in the introductory sections of most graph theory texts.

Plot Luna and Amar are a young Bosniaks Bosnian couple living in Sarajevo. Both have traumatic memories from the Bosnian War of the 1990 s. Luna had seen her parents killed by an anti Muslim militia in Bijeljina , and had come to Sarajevo with her grandparents as a child refugee. Amar had served as a soldier in the war and lost his brother. At present, however, they have apparently built up a successful life she as an air hostess with B&H Airlines , he as an air traffic controller at the Sarajevo International Airport . When she comes back from a flight they make love passionately and go to have a good time at a local nightclub. Though identifying as Islam in Bosnia and Herzegovina Muslim s in the context of Bosnia s ethnic set up, religion plays no part in their life. In fact, Amar drinks alcoholic drinks a bit too much which is forbidden by Islam and it is this which begins to put their relationship under strain. First of all, Amar loses his job for being drunk at work. Luna is very worried and has little hope of realizing her fragile dream of having a child with Amar. But her fears for their future increase when Amar takes on a well paid job in a Muslim community hours away from where they live. Only after quite some time has elapsed during which they have had no contact ... and Amar together on the path to a lifetime of happiness.

  1. Cycle (graph theory)

    citations missing date January 2008 In graph theory , the term cycle may refer to several closely related objects. A closed walk, with repeated vertex graph theory vertices allowed. See path graph theory . This usage is common in computer science. In graph theory it is more often called a closed walk . A closed simple path, with no other repeated vertices or edges the constraint on repeated edges is needed to disallow 2 cycles except in cases of parallel edges in undirected graphs other than the starting and ending vertices. This usage is common in graph theory, see Cycle graph This may also be called a simple cycle , circuit , circle , or polygon . A closed directed walk, with repeated vertices allowed. This usage is common in computer science. In graph theory it is more often called a closed directed walk . A closed directed simple path, with no repeated vertices other than the starting and ending vertices. This usage is common in graph theory. This may also be called a simple directed cycle . The edge set of an undirected closed path without repeated vertices or edges. This may also be called a circuit , circle , or polygon . An element of the binary or integral or real, complex, etc. cycle space of a graph. This is the usage closest to that in the rest of mathematics, in particular algebraic topology . Such a cycle may be called a binary cycle , integral cycle , etc. An edge set that has even degree at every vertex also called an even edge set or, when taken together with its vertices, an even subgraph . This is equivalent to a binary cycle, since a binary cycle is the indicator function of an edge set of this type. Chordless cycle s in a graph are sometimes called graph holes .

  1. Rank (graph theory)

    In graph theory , a branch of mathematics, the rank of an undirected graph is defined as the number math n &minus c , where math n is the number of vertex graph theory vertices and math c is the number of Connected component graph theory connected components of the graph. Equivalently, the rank of a graph is the rank linear algebra rank of the oriented incidence matrix associated with the graph. Analogously, the nullity of an undirected graph is the Kernel matrix nullity of its incidence matrix, given by the formula math m &minus n c , where n and c are as above and m is the number of edges in the graph. The nullity is equal to the first Betti number of the graph. The sum of the rank and the nullity is the number of edges.

At each move of the game, a new pursuer may be added to an arbitrary vertex of the graph as long as fewer than k pursuers are placed on the graph at any time or one of the already added pursuers may be removed from the graph. However, before a new pursuer is added, the evader is first informed of its new location and may move along the edges of the graph to any unoccupied vertex.
