15.2. TERMINOLOGIES OF GRAPH THEORY 299Walk A list <strong>of</strong> edges that are sequentially connected <strong>to</strong> form a continuous route on anetwork. In particular:Trail A walk that doesn’t go through any edge more than once.Path A walk that doesn’t go through any node (<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>refore any edge, <strong>to</strong>o)more than once.Cycle A walk that starts <strong>and</strong> ends at <strong>the</strong> same node without going through anynode more than once on its way.Subgraph Part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> graph.Connected graph A graph in which a path exists between any pair <strong>of</strong> nodes.Connected component A subgraph <strong>of</strong> a graph that is connected within itself but notconnected <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> graph.Exercise 15.15See <strong>the</strong> following network <strong>and</strong> answer <strong>the</strong> following questions:361421. Represent <strong>the</strong> network in (a) an adjacency matrix, <strong>and</strong> (b) an adjacency list.2. Determine <strong>the</strong> degree for each node.3. Classify <strong>the</strong> following walks as trail, path, cycle, or o<strong>the</strong>r.• 6 → 3 → 2 → 4 → 2 → 1• 1 → 4 → 6 → 3 → 2• 5 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 54. Identify all fully connected three-node subgraphs (i.e., triangles).
