In the mathematical field of graph theory, the distance between two vertices in a graph is the number of edges in a shortest path also called a graph geodesic connecting them. For each vertex leading to y, we calculate the distance to the end. Graph theory 3 a graph is a diagram of points and lines connected to the points. I graph theory is useful for analysing things that are connected to other things, which applies almost everywhere. In the mathematical field of graph theory, the distance between two vertices in a graph is the number of edges in a shortest path connecting them.

Length length of the graph is defined as the number of edges contained in the graph. We mark y as visited, and mark the vertex with the smallest recorded distance as current. A circuit starting and ending at vertex a is shown below. This is a list of graph theory topics, by wikipedia page see glossary of graph theory terms for basic terminology. Two vertices joined by an edge are said to be adjacent.

The standard distance du, v between vertices u and v in a connected graph g is the length of a shortest uv path in g.
