Decision Definitions

?
Graph
A graph consists of vertices or nodes which are connected by edges or arcs
1 of 16
Subgraph
A graph whose vertices belong to the bigger graph it is made up from
2 of 16
Degree/Valency
The number of edges a node has attached to it
3 of 16
Path
A finite series of edges, such that the end vertex of one edge in the sequence is the start vertex of the next, and no vertex appears more than once
4 of 16
Cycle
A closed path- the end vertex of the last edge is the start vertex of the first edge
5 of 16
Digraph
A graph with directed edges
6 of 16
Tree
A connected graph with no cycles
7 of 16
Spanning tree
A subgraph which includes all the vertices and forms a tree
8 of 16
Minimum spanning tree
A spanning tree such that the total weight of the arcs is as low as possible - Kruskal or Prim
9 of 16
Algorithm
Well defined sequence of steps leading to the solution of a problem of a given type
10 of 16
Traversable (Eulerian)
A graph is traversable if all the vertices are of even degree
11 of 16
Semi-traversable
Two odd vertices only
12 of 16
Maximal matching
A matching that contains the greatest possible number of edges
13 of 16
Complete matching
A matching that includes every vertex of the graph
14 of 16
Objective line
A line joining all points for which the objective function takes a specified value
15 of 16
Feasible region (R)
the set of (x,y) values that satisfy all the constraints
