Topic: Out degree (graph theory)


  
  Degree (graph theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In graph theory, the degree (or valency) of a vertex is the number of edges incident to the vertex.
The degree of a vertex v is denoted deg(v).
For an undirected graph, the degree of a vertex is the number of edges incident to the vertex.

 Category:Graph theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Graph theory is the branch of mathematics that examines the properties of graphs.
Informally, a graph is a set of objects called vertices (or nodes) connected by links called edges (or arcs), which can also have associated directions.
Typically, a graph is depicted as a set of dots (i.e., vertices) connected by lines (i.e., edges), with an arrowhead on a line representing a directed arc.

A coclique in a graph is a clique in its complementary graph (q.v.).
The sum of the degrees of all vertices in a graph G equals twice the number of edges of G (why?); in particular, this sum must be an even number.
girth (n.): The girth of a graph is the length of the shortest cycle(s) in the graph.

 Graph Theory
Graph Theory was born to study problems of this type.
The degree, d(v), of a vertex v is the number of edges with which it is incident.
In an undirected graph, this is obviously a metric.

 Intro to Graph Theory
A subgraph of a graph is a subset of its points together with all the lines connecting members of the subset.
The degree of a point is defined as the number of lines incident upon that node.
A local bridge of degree k is an edge whose removal causes the distance between the endpoints of the edge to be at least k.

 Network Design: the Diameter-Degree Problem at MROB
The "Diameter-Degree Problem" is a graph theory problem that comes up in the design of computer networks, particularly peer-to-peer software networks or "virtual networks" (such as Gnutella) and parallel processing architectures using node-to-node links for inter-CPU data exchange (Beowulf clusters are a prominent example).
As mentioned before, "3-regular" means that all nodes have degree 3, and "girth" is the length of the shortest cycle (closed path) in the graph.
Graph theorists have a more cryptic way of expressing this, which they refer to as the properties of the graph's "symmetry group".

 Boost Graph Library: Graph Theory Review
Fundamentally, a graph consists of a set of vertices, and a set of edges, where an edge is something that connects two vertices in the graph.
The primary property of a graph to consider when deciding which data structure to use is sparsity, the number of edges relative to the number of vertices in the graph.
For the algorithm to keep track of where it is in the graph, and which vertex to visit next, BFS needs to color the vertices (see the section on Property Maps for more details about attaching properties to graphs).

When mathematicians talk about graphs, they are most likely to be thinking of the collections of dots and lines that you see in the illustrations of this section.
The degree of a vertex is the number of edges that touch it.
Similarly, the diameter of a graph is the distance between the two vertices of the graph that are farthest apart.

 Graph Theory Tutorial
The vertices in directed graph families are so proud with the number of arrow going out of these vertices and the number of arrow going into the vertices.
To distinguish those degrees, they give name in-degree to count number of arrow going in to a vertex, and they give name out-degree to count number of arrow going out of a vertex.
Vertices a, b and c in the graph below have 1 in-degree and 1 out-degree.

 Graph structure in the web
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.
Some researchers have proposed studying the average distance of a graph, defined to be the length of the shortest path from u to v, averaged over all ordered pairs (u,v); this is referred to as diameter in [Albert, Jeong, and Barabasi 99].
The in-degree distribution in our data shows a striking fit with a Zipf (more so than the power law) distribution; Figure 8 shows the in-degrees of pages from the May 1999 crawl plotted against both ranks and magnitudes (corresponding to the Zipf and power law cases).

 Tom's Combinatorial Geometry Class
A graph is called a planar graph if it is drawn in such a way that the edges never cross, except at where they meet at vertices.
There is a direct connection between polyhedra and planar graphs, namely that we can take any polyhedron and "project" it down onto a flat piece of paper, turning it into a graph.
Similarly, the degree of a face f in a planar graph is the number of edges going around the face.
