A directed cycle graph of length 8. A directed cycle graph is a directed version of a cycle graph, with all the edges being oriented in the same direction. In a directed graph, a set of edges which contains at least one edge (or arc) from each directed cycle is called a feedback arc set.
The circuit rank controls the number of ears in an ear decomposition of a graph, a partition of the edges of the graph into paths and cycles that is useful in many graph algorithms. In particular, a graph is 2-vertex-connected if and only if it has an open ear decomposition. This is a sequence of subgraphs, where the first subgraph is a simple ...
In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, a cycle basis of an undirected graph is a set of simple cycles that forms a basis of the cycle space of the graph. That is, it is a minimal set of cycles that allows every even-degree subgraph to be expressed as a symmetric difference of basis cycles.
A Hamiltonian cycle, Hamiltonian circuit, vertex tour or graph cycle is a cycle that visits each vertex exactly once. A graph that contains a Hamiltonian cycle is called a Hamiltonian graph . Similar notions may be defined for directed graphs , where each edge (arc) of a path or cycle can only be traced in a single direction (i.e., the vertices ...
In graph theory, the cycle rank of a directed graph is a digraph connectivity measure proposed first by Eggan and Büchi . Intuitively, this concept measures how close a digraph is to a directed acyclic graph (DAG), in the sense that a DAG has cycle rank zero, while a complete digraph of order n with a self-loop at each vertex has cycle rank n .
A path in a directed graph is a sequence of edges having the property that the ending vertex of each edge in the sequence is the same as the starting vertex of the next edge in the sequence; a path forms a cycle if the starting vertex of its first edge equals the ending vertex of its last edge. A directed acyclic graph is a directed graph that ...
A triangle-free graph is a graph with no induced cycle of length three. The cographs are exactly the graphs with no induced path of length three. The chordal graphs are the graphs with no induced cycle of length four or more. The even-hole-free graphs are the graphs containing no induced cycles with an even number of vertices.
