In graphtheory , a path in a graph mathematics graph is a sequence of vertex graphtheory vertices such that from each of its vertices there is an edge graphtheory 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 terminal vertices of the path.

citations missing date January 2008 In graphtheory , the term cycle may refer to a closed pathgraphtheorypath . If repeated vertex graphtheory vertices are allowed, it is more often called a closed walk . If the path is a simple path, with no repeated vertices or edges other than the starting and ending vertices, it may also be called a simple cycle , circuit , circle , or polygon see Cycle graph . A cycle in a directed graph is called a directed cycle. The term cycle may also refer to 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 .

Image Pseudoforest.svg thumb 240px A graph with three connected components. In graphtheory , a connected component of an undirected graph is a Glossary of graphtheory Subgraphs subgraph in which any two vertices are connected graph connected to each other by pathgraphtheory paths , and which is connected to no additional vertices. For example, the graph shown in the illustration on the right has three connected components. A graph that is itself connected has exactly one connected component, consisting of the whole graph. An equivalence relation An alternative way to define connected components involves the equivalence classes of an equivalence relation that is defined on the vertices of the graph. In an undirected graph, a vertex v is reachable from a vertex u if there is a path from u to v . In this definition, a single vertex is counted as a path of length zero, and the same vertex may occur more than once within a path. Reachability is an equivalence relation , since It is reflexive relation reflexive There is a trivial path of length zero from any vertex to itself. It is symmetric relation symmetric If there is a path from u to v , the same edges form a path from v to u . It is Transitive relation transitive If there is a path from u to v and a path from v to w , the two paths may be concatenated together to form a path from u to w .

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.

In graphtheory , 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 graphtheory vertices and math c is the number of Connected component graphtheory 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.
