For the sporting achievement of association football, see Sextuple (association football). In mathematics, a tuple is a finite sequence or ordered list of numbers or, more generally, mathematical objects, which are called the elements of the tuple. An n-tuple is a tuple of n elements, where n is a non-negative integer.
In mathematics, specifically set theory, the Cartesian product of two sets A and B, denoted A × B, is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) where a is in A and b is in B. [1] In terms of set-builder notation, that is [2][3] A table can be created by taking the Cartesian product of a set of rows and a set of columns.
In mathematics, a permutation of a set can mean one of two different things: an arrangement of its members in a sequence or linear order, or. the act or process of changing the linear order of an ordered set. [ 1 ] An example of the first meaning is the six permutations (orderings) of the set {1, 2, 3}: written as tuples, they are (1, 2, 3), (1 ...
A graph with three vertices and three edges. A graph (sometimes called an undirected graph to distinguish it from a directed graph, or a simple graph to distinguish it from a multigraph) [4] [5] is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a set whose elements are called vertices (singular: vertex), and E is a set of unordered pairs {,} of vertices, whose elements are called edges (sometimes links or lines).
In mathematics, the real coordinate space or real coordinate n-space, of dimension n, denoted Rn or , is the set of all ordered n -tuples of real numbers, that is the set of all sequences of n real numbers, also known as coordinate vectors. Special cases are called the real line R1, the real coordinate planeR2, and the real coordinate three ...
A multiset may be formally defined as an ordered pair (A, m) where A is the underlying set of the multiset, formed from its distinct elements, and : + is a function from A to the set of positive integers, giving the multiplicity – that is, the number of occurrences – of the element a in the multiset as the number m(a).
It is, however, bounded. In mathematics, a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed and order matters. Like a set, it contains members (also called elements, or terms). The number of elements (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence.
An alternative algorithm for topological sorting is based on depth-first search.The algorithm loops through each node of the graph, in an arbitrary order, initiating a depth-first search that terminates when it hits any node that has already been visited since the beginning of the topological sort or the node has no outgoing edges (i.e., a leaf node):
