  • 9 the Graph Data Model
    CHAPTER 9 ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ The Graph Data Model A graph is, in a sense, nothing more than a binary relation. However, it has a powerful visualization as a set of points (called nodes) connected by lines (called edges) or by arrows (called arcs). In this regard, the graph is a generalization of the tree data model that we studied in Chapter 5. Like trees, graphs come in several forms: directed/undirected, and labeled/unlabeled. Also like trees, graphs are useful in a wide spectrum of problems such as com- puting distances, finding circularities in relationships, and determining connectiv- ities. We have already seen graphs used to represent the structure of programs in Chapter 2. Graphs were used in Chapter 7 to represent binary relations and to illustrate certain properties of relations, like commutativity. We shall see graphs used to represent automata in Chapter 10 and to represent electronic circuits in Chapter 13. Several other important applications of graphs are discussed in this chapter. ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 9.1 What This Chapter Is About 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). ✦ A technique for finding minimal spanning trees (Section 9.5). ✦ A useful technique for exploring graphs, called “depth-first search” (Section 9.6). 451 452 THE GRAPH DATA MODEL ✦ Applications of depth-first search to test whether a directed graph has a cycle, to find a topological order for acyclic graphs, and to determine whether there is a path from one node to another (Section 9.7).

  • Merkle Trees and Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) As We've Discussed, the Decentralized Web Depends on Linked Data Structures
    Merkle trees and Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) As we've discussed, the decentralized web depends on linked data structures. Let's explore what those look like. Merkle trees A Merkle tree (or simple "hash tree") is a data structure in which every node is hashed. +--------+ | | +---------+ root +---------+ | | | | | +----+---+ | | | | +----v-----+ +-----v----+ +-----v----+ | | | | | | | node A | | node B | | node C | | | | | | | +----------+ +-----+----+ +-----+----+ | | +-----v----+ +-----v----+ | | | | | node D | | node E +-------+ | | | | | +----------+ +-----+----+ | | | +-----v----+ +----v-----+ | | | | | node F | | node G | | | | | +----------+ +----------+ In a Merkle tree, nodes point to other nodes by their content addresses (hashes). (Remember, when we run data through a cryptographic hash, we get back a "hash" or "content address" that we can think of as a link, so a Merkle tree is a collection of linked nodes.) As previously discussed, all content addresses are unique to the data they represent. In the graph above, node E contains a reference to the hash for node F and node G. This means that the content address (hash) of node E is unique to a node containing those addresses. Getting lost? Let's imagine this as a set of directories, or file folders. If we run directory E through our hashing algorithm while it contains subdirectories F and G, the content-derived hash we get back will include references to those two directories. If we remove directory G, it's like Grace removing that whisker from her kitten photo. Directory E doesn't have the same contents anymore, so it gets a new hash. As the tree above is built, the final content address (hash) of the root node is unique to a tree that contains every node all the way down this tree.

  • 6.042J Chapter 6: Directed Graphs
    “mcs-ftl” — 2010/9/8 — 0:40 — page 189 — #195 6 Directed Graphs 6.1 Definitions So far, we have been working with graphs with undirected edges. A directed edge is an edge where the endpoints are distinguished—one is the head and one is the tail. In particular, a directed edge is specified as an ordered pair of vertices u, v and is denoted by .u; v/ or u v. In this case, u is the tail of the edge and v is the ! head. For example, see Figure 6.1. A graph with directed edges is called a directed graph or digraph. Definition 6.1.1. A directed graph G .V; E/ consists of a nonempty set of D nodes V and a set of directed edges E. Each edge e of E is specified by an ordered pair of vertices u; v V . A directed graph is simple if it has no loops (that is, edges 2 of the form u u) and no multiple edges. ! Since we will focus on the case of simple directed graphs in this chapter, we will generally omit the word simple when referring to them. Note that such a graph can contain an edge u v as well as the edge v u since these are different edges ! ! (for example, they have a different tail). Directed graphs arise in applications where the relationship represented by an edge is 1-way or asymmetric. Examples include: a 1-way street, one person likes another but the feeling is not necessarily reciprocated, a communication channel such as a cable modem that has more capacity for downloading than uploading, one entity is larger than another, and one job needs to be completed before another job can begin.

  • The Shortest Path Problem with Edge Information Reuse Is NP-Complete
    The Shortest Path Problem with Edge Information Reuse is NP-Complete Jesper Larsson Tr¨aff TU Wien Faculty of Informatics, Institute of Information Systems Research Group Parallel Computing Favoritenstrasse 16/184-5, 1040 Vienna, Austria email: [email protected] 15.9.2015, Revised 6.6.2016 Abstract We show that the following variation of the single-source shortest path problem is NP- complete. Let a weighted, directed, acyclic graph G = (V,E,w) with source and sink vertices s and t be given. Let in addition a mapping f on E be given that associates information with the edges (e.g., a pointer), such that f(e)= f(e′) means that edges e and e′ carry the same information; for such edges it is required that w(e)= w(e′). The length of a simple st path U is the sum of the weights of the edges on U but edges with f(e)= f(e′) are counted only once. The problem is to determine a shortest such st path. We call this problem the edge information reuse shortest path problem. It is NP-complete by reduction from 3SAT. 1 The Edge Information Reuse Shortest Path Problem A weighted, directed, acyclic graph G = (V, E, w) with source and sink vertices s,t ∈ V is given. Edges represent some possible substructures and a path from s to t determines how substructures are put together to form a desired superstructure. Edge weights reflect the cost of the associated substructures (e.g., memory consumption). An ordinary shortest path determines an ordered, tree-like representation of the superstructure of least cost: a single root with children given by the edges of the path.

  • 5 Directed Acyclic Graphs
    5 Directed acyclic graphs (5.1) Introduction In many statistical studies we have prior knowledge about a temporal or causal ordering of the variables. In this chapter we will use directed graphs to incorporate such knowledge into a graphical model for the variables. Let XV = (Xv)v∈V be a vector of real-valued random variables with probability distribution P and density p. Then the density p can always be decomposed into a product of conditional densities, d Q p(x) = p(xd|x1, . , xd−1)p(x1, . , xd−1) = ... = p(xv|x1, . , xv−1). (5.1) v=1 Note that this can be achieved for any ordering of the variables. Now suppose that the conditional density of some variable Xv does not depend on all its predecessors, namely X1,...,Xv−1, but only on a subset XUv , that is, Xv is conditionally inde- pendent of its predecessors given XUv . Substituting p(xv|xUv ) for p(xv|x1, . , xv−1) in the product (5.1), we obtain d Q p(x) = p(xv|xUv ). (5.2) v=1 This recursive dependence structure can be represented by a directed graph G by drawing an arrow from each vertex in Uv to v. As an immediate consequence of the recursive factorization, the resulting graph is acyclic, that is, it does not contain any loops. On the other hand, P factorizes with respect to the undirected graph Gm which is given by the class of complete subsets D = {{v} ∪ Uv|v ∈ V }. This graph can be obtained from the directed graph G by completing all sets {v} ∪ Uv and then converting all directed edges into undirected ones.
