The edge (,) is called the inverted edge of (,). Multiple edges , not allowed under the definition above, are two or more edges with both the same tail and the same head. In one more general sense of the term allowing multiple edges, [ 5 ] a directed graph is an ordered triple G = ( V , E , ϕ ) {\displaystyle G=(V,E,\phi )} comprising:
Every edge is shared by three or more faces in a 4-polytope, as seen in this projection of a tesseract. In geometry, an edge is a particular type of line segment joining two vertices in a polygon, polyhedron, or higher-dimensional polytope. [1] In a polygon, an edge is a line segment on the boundary, [2] and is often called a polygon side.
Boundary (topology) A set (in light blue) and its boundary (in dark blue). In topology and mathematics in general, the boundary of a subset S of a topological space X is the set of points in the closure of S not belonging to the interior of S. An element of the boundary of S is called a boundary point of S. The term boundary operation refers to ...
1. A book, book graph, or triangular book is a complete tripartite graph K1,1,n; a collection of n triangles joined at a shared edge. 2. Another type of graph, also called a book, or a quadrilateral book, is a collection of 4 -cycles joined at a shared edge; the Cartesian product of a star with an edge. 3.
Surface (topology) An open surface with x -, y -, and z -contours shown. In the part of mathematics referred to as topology, a surface is a two-dimensional manifold. Some surfaces arise as the boundaries of three-dimensional solid figures; for example, the sphere is the boundary of the solid ball. Other surfaces arise as graphs of functions of ...
e. In physical cosmology, the shape of the universe refers to both its local and global geometry. Local geometry is defined primarily by its curvature, while the global geometry is characterised by its topology (which itself is constrained by curvature). General relativity explains how spatial curvature (local geometry) is constrained by gravity.
Bridge (graph theory) A graph with 16 vertices and six bridges (highlighted in red) An undirected connected graph with no bridge edges. In graph theory, a bridge, isthmus, cut-edge, or cut arc is an edge of a graph whose deletion increases the graph's number of connected components. [1] Equivalently, an edge is a bridge if and only if it is not ...
Graph (discrete mathematics) A graph with six vertices and seven edges. In discrete mathematics, particularly in graph theory, a graph is a structure consisting of a set of objects where some pairs of the objects are in some sense "related". The objects are represented by abstractions called vertices (also called nodes or points) and each of ...
