  Directed acyclic graph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a directed acyclic graph, also called a dag or DAG, is a directed graph with no directed cycles ; that is, for any vertex v, there is no directed path starting and ending on v.
The length of a finite dag is the length (number of edges) of a longest directed path.
Every directed acyclic graph has a topological sort, an ordering of the vertices such that each vertex comes before all vertices it has edges to.

 Eulerian path - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the mathematical field of graph theory, an Eulerian path is a path in a graph which visits each edge exactly once.
For directed graphs path has to be replaced with directed path and cycle with directed cycle.
A directed graph version of the Eulerian cycle algorithm can be obtained in a similar fashion, except that the even degree condition is replaced by an equal in- and out-degrees condition.

For an edge e directed from v to w, v may be refered to as the tail of e or the origin of e, or the source of e, and w may be refered to as the head of e or the destination of e.
In a directed graph, a directed path is a path, v
That is, a directed path is a path in which the edges are all pointing in the same direction as you walk along the path.

 Order theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Directed complete partial orders (dcpos), that guarantee the existence of suprema of all directed subsets and that are studied in domain theory.
For example, a function preserves directed suprema iff it is continuous with respect to the Scott topology (for this reason this order theoretic property is also called Scott-continuity).
In this way, each order is seen to be equivalent to a directed acyclic graph, where the nodes are the elements of the poset and there is a directed path from a to b if and only if a ≤ b.

 Cathode ray tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cathode rays are streams of high speed electrons emitted from the heated cathode of a vacuum tube.
In a cathode ray tube, the electrons are carefully directed into a beam, and this beam is deflected by a magnetic field to scan the surface at the viewing end ( anode), which is lined with phosphorescent material (usually based on transition metals or rare earths).
In case of an oscilloscope, the intensity of the electron beam is kept constant, and the picture is drawn by steering the beam along an arbitrary path.

 Generalising XPath for Directed Graphs
The result of this exercise is a generalised path based query language which applies not only to annotations but to generalised directed graphs and which reduces to XPath as a special case.
An AG is a directed graph representation of an annotation which foregrounds the sequential structure of annotations; nodes in the graph are anchor points and edges represent linguistic elements.
Path positions are indexed from one so that the first node added to a path has an index one.

 D-separation
He did so by combining directed graphs, which naturally represent causal hypotheses, and linear statistical models, which are systems of linear regression equations and statistical constraints, into a unified representation he called path analysis.
In the first three, C is a non-collider on the path, and in the fourth C is a collider (See the module on directed graphs for an explanation of colliders and non-colliders).
In the first case the path from A to B is blocked by conditioning on the intermediary C, similarly in case 2, and in case 3 you are conditioning on a common cause, which makes the effects independent.

A cycle is a path containing at least three vertices such that the last vertex on the path is adjacent to the first.
We require all edges in a path or a cycle to have the same direction, so that following a path or a cycle means always moving in the direction indicated by the arrows.
A directed graph is called strongly connected if there is a directed path from any vertex to any other vertex.

 Shortest Path Algorithm
That is, the path for which summing up the weights along all the edges from v to v' results in the smallest sum possible.
The single-source shortest path problem can also be formulated on an undirected graph; however, it is most easily solved by converting the undirected graph into a directed graph with twice as many edges, and then running the algorithm for directed graphs.
But this path must be longer than the shortest internal path, because the priority queue ensures that v is the closest frontier vertex.

 Juniorklubben - Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Abstract: In terms of computational complexity it can be much easier to examine all directed path in a graph than to consider all simple paths.
Therefore it can be useful to transform a graph in such a way that the simple paths in the original graph are represented by the directed paths in the new graph.
This is the heart of a result showing a certain question on graphs to be polynomial time solvable for graphs of treewidth (up to) 2 and NP-hard for graphs of treewidth 3 (or bigger).

Given a directed graph, a strongly connected component (strong component for brevity) of this graph is a set of nodes such that for any pair of nodes u and v in the set there is a path from u to v.
A path is defined as for directed graphs, except that now the existence of a path from u to v implies a path from v to u.
We refer to the components of the undirected graph obtained from a directed graph by ignoring the directions of its arcs as the weak components of the directed graph.

The transitive closure of a directed digraph is the digraph of directed paths.
In other words, if A is a digraph and A' is its transitive closure, then xA'y means there is a directed path from x to y in A. We'll call (perhaps incorrectly) such a digraph a p-graph (path graph).
The set of all maximal paths of a p-graph also form a digraph, one we shall call an mp-graph (maximal path graph).

In mathematics, a '''directed acyclic graph''', also called a '''dag''', '''DAG''', or '''acyclic directed graph''', is a directed graph with no dicycle s; that is, for any vertex ''v'', there is no directed path starting and ending on ''v''.
DAGs appear in models where it doesn't make sense for a vertex to have a path to itself; for example, if an edge ''u''→''v'' indicates that ''v'' is a part of ''u'', such a path would indicate that ''u'' is a part of itself, which is impossible.
DAGs can be considered to be a generalization of tree s in which certain subtrees can be shared by different parts of the tree.
