Network/graph theory

  • Network/graph theory is

the study of graphs, mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects from a certain collection

  • Everything is an node or an

edge

  • Average number of edges

along the shortest paths for all possible pairs of network nodes

  • Can be considered as a

measure of the efficiency of the network
