Description
- A Graph consists of a set of nodes, and a set of edges that connect them
Examples
- The graph below has 4 nodes and 5 edges
The Graph above can be expressed by matrix as this :
A=[−1100−10100−1100−10100−11]
A= \left[
\begin{matrix}
-1 & 1 & 0 &0& \\
-1 & 0 & 1 &0&\\
0 & -1 & 1 &0&\\
0 & -1 & 0 &1&\\
0 & 0 & -1 &1&
\end{matrix}
\right]
A=⎣⎢⎢⎢⎢⎡−1−100010−1−100110−100011⎦⎥⎥⎥⎥⎤
- each column represents a node and each row represents an edge.
- 1 means flowing into that node. -1 ,on the contraty ,means flowing out that node
Spanning Trees and Independent Rows
The procession of elimination mostly seems kind of like cut loops .
