View source for Graph theory

In [[mathematics]] and [[computer science]], '''graph theory''' is the study of [[Graph (mathematics)|graphs]], which are [[Mathematical structure|mathematical structures]] used to [[Mathematical model|model]] [[pairwise relations]] between [[Mathematical object|objects]].

== Description ==

A "graph" in this context is made up of "vertices" or "nodes" and lines called edges that connect them.

A graph may be undirected, meaning that there is no distinction between the two vertices associated with each edge, or its edges may be directed from one vertex to another; see graph (mathematics) for more detailed definitions and for other variations in the types of graph that are commonly considered. Graphs are one of the prime objects of study in discrete mathematics.

Refer to the [[glossary of graph theory]] for basic definitions in graph theory.
