The transitive reduction of a finite directed graph G is a graph with the fewest possible edges that has the same reachability relation as the original graph. That is, if there is a path from a vertex x to a vertex y in graph G, there must also be a path from x to y in the transitive reduction of G, and vice versa.
The transitive reduction of a DAG is the graph with the fewest edges that has the same reachability relation as the DAG. It has an edge u → v for every pair of vertices ( u , v ) in the covering relation of the reachability relation ≤ of the DAG.
A Hasse diagram of the factors of 60 ordered by the is-a-divisor-of relation. In order theory, a Hasse diagram (/ ˈ h æ s ə /; German:) is a type of mathematical diagram used to represent a finite partially ordered set, in the form of a drawing of its transitive reduction.
Specifically, taking a strict partial order relation (, <), a directed acyclic graph (DAG) may be constructed by taking each element of to be a node and each element of < to be an edge. The transitive reduction of this DAG [b] is then the Hasse diagram. Similarly this process can be reversed to construct strict partial orders from certain DAGs.
If is acyclic, then its reachability relation is a partial order; any partial order may be defined in this way, for instance as the reachability relation of its transitive reduction. [2] A noteworthy consequence of this is that since partial orders are anti-symmetric, if s {\displaystyle s} can reach t {\displaystyle t} , then we know that t ...
The transitive closure of this relation is a different relation, namely "there is a sequence of direct flights that begins at city x and ends at city y". Every relation can be extended in a similar way to a transitive relation. An example of a non-transitive relation with a less meaningful transitive closure is "x is the day of the week after y".
A diglyceride, or diacylglycerol (DAG), is a glyceride consisting of two fatty acid chains covalently bonded to a glycerol molecule through ester linkages. [1] Two possible forms exist, 1,2-diacylglycerols and 1,3-diacylglycerols.
As is common for complexity classes within the polynomial time hierarchy, a problem is called GI-hard if there is a polynomial-time Turing reduction from any problem in GI to that problem, i.e., a polynomial-time solution to a GI-hard problem would yield a polynomial-time solution to the graph isomorphism problem (and so all problems in GI).
