We turn now to the set of tangent points on the graph.

The sets X and Y are called the domain ( or the set of departure ) and codomain ( or the set of destination ), respectively, of the relation, and G is called its graph.

Some mathematicians, especially in set theory, do not consider the sets and to be part of the relation, and therefore define a binary relation as being a subset of x, that is, just the graph.

A function from the set of real numbers to the real numbers can be represented by a graph in the Cartesian plane ; the function is continuous if, roughly speaking, the graph is a single unbroken curve with no " holes " or " jumps ".

A convex function | function is convex if and only if its Epigraph ( mathematics ) | epigraph, the region ( in green ) above its graph of a function | graph ( in blue ), is a convex set.

The graph of a function or relation is the set of all points satisfying that function or relation.

The Delaunay triangulation of a discrete point set P in general position corresponds to the dual graph of the Voronoi tessellation for P. Special cases include the existence of three points on a line and four points on circle.

The set of regions of a map can be represented more abstractly as an undirected graph that has a vertex for each region and an edge for every pair of regions that share a boundary segment.

More precisely, he showed that a random graph on vertices, formed by choosing independently whether to include each edge with probability has, with probability tending to 1 as goes to infinity, at most cycles of length or less, but has no independent set of size Therefore, removing one vertex from each short cycle leaves a smaller graph with girth greater than in which each color class of a coloring must be small and which therefore requires at least colors in any coloring.

For instance, if one graphs a set of solutions of an equation in some higher dimensional space, he may ask about the geometric properties of the graph.

To every preorder, there corresponds a directed graph, with elements of the set corresponding to vertices, and the order relation between pairs of elements corresponding to the directed edges between vertices.

An important subclass are the local search methods, that view the elements of the search space as the vertices of a graph, with edges defined by a set of heuristics applicable to the case ; and scan the space by moving from item to item along the edges, for example according to the steepest descent or best-first criterion, or in a stochastic search.

For example, the extension of a function is a set of ordered pairs that pair up the arguments and values of the function ; in other words, the function's graph.

Some topics represented here by a significant number of papers are: set theory ( including measurable cardinals and abstract measures ), topology, transformation theory, ergodic theory, group theory, projective algebra, number theory, combinatorics, and graph theory.

In this graph, A and k are set to unity.

For a discussion of tree structures in specific fields, see Tree ( data structure ) for computer science: insofar as it relates to graph theory, see tree ( graph theory ), or also tree ( set theory ).

The graph of a monotone operator G ( T ) is a monotone set.

A monotone operator is said to be maximal monotone if its graph is a maximal monotone set.

If the force required to remove the coatings is plotted against film thickness, a graph as illustrated schematically in Fig. 5 may characteristically result.

According to the definition above, two relations with the same graph may be different, if they differ in the sets and.

It may be represented as a table or graph relating price and quantity supplied.

A graph may be undirected, meaning that there is no distinction between the two vertices associated with each edge, or its edges may be directed from one vertex to another ; see graph ( mathematics ) for more detailed definitions and for other variations in the types of graph that are commonly considered.

One of the most famous and productive problems of graph theory is the four color problem: " Is it true that any map drawn in the plane may have its regions colored with four colors, in such a way that any two regions having a common border have different colors?

( N. B., while hierarchies are commonly studied using graph theory, the general terminology used is different, and words such as " direct " may have different general meanings )

That algorithm enforces two constraints: children precede their parents and if a class inherits from multiple classes, they are kept in the order specified in the tuple of base classes ( however in this case, some classes high in the inheritance graph may precede classes lower in the graph ).

The goal of this problem is to minimize the cost of reaching a target in a weighted graph where some of the edges are unreliable and may have been removed from the graph.

* A random graph, for a graph with V edges, may be parameterized as an NxN matrix, indicating the weight for each edge, or 0 for no edge.

The items may be stored individually as records in a database ; or may be elements of a search space defined by a mathematical formula or procedure, such as the roots of an equation with integer variables ; or a combination of the two, such as the Hamiltonian circuits of a graph.

A point-like particle's motion may be described by drawing a graph of its position ( in one or two dimensions of space ) against time.

In addition to explaining the forces listed in the graph, a ToE may also explain the status of at least two candidate forces suggested by modern cosmology: an inflationary force and dark energy.

In the asymmetric TSP, paths may not exist in both directions or the distances might be different, forming a directed graph.

Namely, any free group G may be realized as the fundamental group of a graph X.

We have shown that the graph of F contains at least one component whose inverse is the entire interval {0,T}, and whose multiplicity is odd.

The graph of a function can have two horizontal asymptotes.

For example, if a graph has 17 valid 3-colorings, the SAT formula produced by the reduction will have 17 satisfying assignments.

The questions range from counting ( e. g., the number of graphs on n vertices with k edges ) to structural ( e. g., which graphs contain Hamiltonian cycles ) to algebraic questions ( e. g., given a graph G and two numbers x and y, does the Tutte polynomial T < sub > G </ sub >( x, y ) have a combinatorial interpretation ?).

Every connected graph is an expander ; however, different connected graphs have different expansion parameters.

This graph is planar ( it is important to note that we are talking about the graphs that have some limitations according to the map they are transformed from only ): it can be drawn in the plane without crossings by placing each vertex at an arbitrarily chosen location within the region to which it corresponds, and by drawing the edges as curves that lead without crossing within each region from the vertex location to each shared boundary point of the region.

First, if planar regions separated by the graph are not triangulated, i. e. do not have exactly three edges in their boundaries, we can add edges without introducing new vertices in order to make every region triangular, including the unbounded outer region.

Call this graph G. G cannot have a vertex of degree 3 or less, because if d ( v ) ≤ 3, we can remove v from G, four-color the smaller graph, then add back v and extend the four-coloring to it by choosing a color different from its neighbors.

A cubic graph ( all vertices have degree three ) of girth – that is as small as possible – is known as a-cage ( or as a ( 3 ,)- cage ).

One reason to be interested in such a question is that many graph properties are hereditary for subgraphs, which means that a graph has the property if and only if all subgraphs have it too.

Again, some important graph properties are hereditary with respect to induced subgraphs, which means that a graph has a property if and only if all induced subgraphs also have it.

Many graph properties are hereditary for minors, which means that a graph has a property if and only if all minors have it too.

Many of those knowledgeable in compilers and graph theory have advocated allowing only reducible flow graphs.
