  2. What are Graphs • Pie graphs? Bar graphs? WRONG • Graphs simply show things and their relationship to one another

  3. Examples • Actors and who they were in movies with (oracle of bacon) • Family members and who is related to whom (family tree) • Intersections and the roads that connect them • Board game spaces and which moves you can make

  4. Terminology • Node (vertex): the individual thing we are keepting track of (intersection, family member, actor, game space) • Edge: the relationship between TWO nodes (road, relationship, game move, shared movie) • A given set of nodes and edges is called a graph

  5. Graph Dichotomies • Directed/Undirected • Edges may be one way (“go directly to jail” in monopoly) or both ways (two actors in the same movie) • Weighted/Unweighted • Edges may have a value which represents some quality (length of a road between two intersections) or every edge can be valued equally (actors in the same movie) • Cyclic/Acyclic • Can you start at one node, and follow edges (any one edge at most once) and get back to the start node (a cycle)? • Undirected, Acyclic graphs are known as TREES

  6. Graph Representations Adjacency Matrix • 2-D array indicating whether there is an edge between two given nodes • int[][] • In unweighted graphs, int[i][j]=1 indicates edge, while 0 indicates no edge • In weighted graphs, int[i][j] indicates length • 0,-1, or some huge number may indicate no edge • O(n^2) storage, O(n^2) iterate through all edges….WASTEFUL

  7. Adjacency List • Only store edges which actually exist (instead of all possible edge) • For each node, store each node to which it is connected • Unweighted: ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> • Weighted: Arraylist<HashMap<Integer, Integer>> • O(E) to iterate through all edges (better) but pain in the neck to initialize and use

  8. What can we do with graphs? • Loads of stuff! (and we’ll get to lots of it throughout the semester) • Calculate distance between nodes • Figure out which nodes can be reached from others • Figure out which edges we can remove and still get to all the other nodes • ?????

  9. Distance in an Unweighted Graph • If we have an unweighted graph (can be either directed or not), how can we figure out the minimum number of edges we must traverse to get from some node s to another node t? • Ideas?

  10. Brute Force Every Path • Start at s and follow every edge there • At each node you reach, follow every edge there, recording the distance to each node • At the end, take the minimum distance to the node • Problem? Takes O(n!) time to compute!

  11. Key Intuition • We need to come up with a way to only visit a given node once • If we can visit all the nodes 1 away from s first, then we don’t need to visit them again (because we know we can’t beat that!) • If we can visit all the nodes 2 away from s next, we don’t need to visit THEM again (since we already know they can’t be 1 away)

  12. Distance (overview) • Can we find all nodes 1 away from s? • Yes…all nodes which have an edge going to s must be at most 1 away from s • Can we find all nodes 2 away from s? • Yes… all the nodes (which we haven’t visited) which have an edge from one of the step 1 nodes must be 2 away from s • By induction, we can find the distance to all the nodes

  13. Breadth First Search (BFS) q.add(s) while(q isn’t empty) on=q.poll() for(edge in on) if (other node unvisited) distace(other node)=distance(on)+1 q.add(other node)

  14. What’s going on? • We visit all the nodes in order of how far they are away • Since we directly reference the distance to the node as we pop it off the queue, we don’t have to worry about tracking exactly how far we are away • Instead of updating distance, we can do other things (perhaps add a “previous” value to get the “turn by turn” of what the path actually is)

  15. Depth First Search (DFS) • Similar to BFS, but visit all nodes in a given sub-graph before entering another sub-graph (rather than visiting all nodes 1 away first) • Use a stack instead of a queue
