The main topics of this chapter are The definitions concerning directed and undirected graphs (Sections 9.2 and 9.10). The two principal data structures for representing graphs: adjacency lists and adjacency matrices (Section 9.3). An algorithm and data structure for finding the connected components of an undirected graph (Section 9.4).
What is the Data Structure? So graphs are really useful for lots of data and questions For example, “what’s the lowest-cost path from x to y” But we need a data structure that represents graphs The “best one” can depend on: Properties of the graph (e.g., dense versus sparse)
Motivation for Graphs Consider the data structures we have looked at so far...

Data Structures for Graphs The adjacency list of a vertex v: sequence of vertices adjacent to v A graph is represented by the Needs space
What parts of the graph are reachable from a given vertex? (i.e., connected components) Many problems require processing all graph vertices (and edges) in systematic fashion

Path Finding in a Graph Single-Source Shortest Path Input Directed graph with non-negative weighted edges, a starting node s and a destination node d Problem Starting at the given node s, find the path with the lowest total edge weight to node d Example A map with cities as nodes and the edges are distances between the cities.
1 Introduction Graphs are fundamental data structures used to represent relationships between objects. They consist of vertices (or nodes) and edges (connections between nodes). This article explores various data structures for graph representation, including adjacency matrices, adjacency lists, and edge lists.
The most common graphs we'll use are graphs, digraphs, weighted graphs, and networks. When writing graph algorithms, it is important to know what characteristics the graphs have.
Adjacency Array graph G(V;E) wherejVj= n andjEj= m Exercise Design a linear timeO(n +m) algorithm which converts a directed graph from an unordered edge list representation into a representation as adjacency arrays. You must use onlyO(n) additional space. Hint: Consider the problem of sorting edges based on their source vertex.
Graphs ¤ A graph is a data structure that contains of a set of vertices and a set of edges which connect pairs of the vertices. ¤ A vertex (or node) can be connected to any number of other vertices using edges.
What is a graph? A data structure that consists of a set of nodes (vertices) and a set of edges that relate the nodes to each other
Abstract: Graphs are a fundamental data structure in the world of programming. Graphs are used as a mean to store and analyse metadata. A graph implementation needs understanding of some of the common basic fundamentals of graph. This paper provides a brief study of graph data structure. Various representations of graph and its traversal techniques are discussed in the paper. An overview to ...
The graph is represented by a 0-indexed 2D integer array graph where graph[i] is an integer array of nodes adjacent to node i, meaning there is an edge from node i to each node in graph[i].

Graph Data Structure Mathematical graphs can be represented in data-structure. We can represent a graph using an array of vertices and a two dimensional array of edges. Before we proceed further, let's familiarize ourselves with some important terms − Vertex − Each node of the graph is represented as a vertex.
