• Problem can be modeled as a graph. Since
graphs are drawn with dots and lines, they
look like road maps.
• Computer network can be modeled using a
graph in which the vertices of the graph
represent the data centers and the edges
represent communication links.
An undirected graph G consists of set V A directed graph G (also known as
of vertices and set E of edges such that digraph) is a graph in which edge of the
each edge is associated with an graph has a direction. Such edge is
unordered pair of vertices. known as directed edge.

Degree of vertex v is 3, because there are 3 edges incident on v

• A vertex with degree 1 is called a leaf vertex
and the incident edge is referred to as a
pendant edge.
• A path is a sequence of edges that begins at a
vertex of a graph and travels from vertex to
vertex along edges of the graph.
• The length of the path is the number 𝒏 of
edges that it contains.
• The distance between two vertices is
described by the length of the shortest path
that joins them.
• A closed path/circuit is a path that starts and
ends at the same vertex.
• A cycle is a closed path with at least 3 edges
and there are no other vertices or edges
repeated except the starting vertex/node.
• From vertex A to B there exists three different paths:
𝑃 = (𝑒₁) ; 𝑄 = (𝑒₂, 𝑒₃, 𝑒₄, 𝑒₅) ; 𝑅 = (𝑒₇, 𝑒₆)
• The length of path 𝑃 = 1, the length of path 𝑄 = 4 and the length of path 𝑅 = 2
• The distance from A to B (𝒅 𝑨, 𝑩 ) is 1 (shortest path)
• Closed path: 𝑆 = (𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐹, 𝐴) ; 𝑇 = (𝐵, 𝐶, 𝐷, 𝐸, 𝐴, 𝐹, 𝐵)

• Vertices A and B are said to be adjacent if there is an edge 𝑒 = 𝐴, 𝐵 . We say that
𝑒1 is an incident of A and B.
• Adjacent edges are edges that originate from one same vertex. Example 𝑒1 and
𝑒2.
2) Digraphs (directed graph)
• defined by 𝐷 = 𝑉, 𝐸 where 𝑉 is the set of vertex
and 𝐸 is the set of directed edges.
• Vertices, 𝑉 = A, B, C, D, E
• Edges, E: 𝐸 = 𝑒1, 𝑒2, 𝑒3, 𝑒4, 𝑒5 = 𝐴, 𝐵 , 𝐴, 𝐶 , 𝐶, 𝐷 , 𝐵, 𝐸 , 𝐸, 𝐷
• {𝐴, 𝐵} ≠ {𝐵, 𝐴}
• For and edge 𝐴, 𝐶 vertex 𝑨 is called the head of edge and vertex 𝑪 is the tail of
edge.
• The head vertex is said to be adjacent to the tail but not vice versa. Example
edge {𝐴, 𝐵} , A is adjacent to B BUT vertex B is NOT ADJACENT to A.
3) Weighted graph
• a number (weight) is assigned to each edge.
• Weights are usually real numbers, such as
costs, lengths or capacities, etc. depending on
the problem at hand.
4) Connected Graph
• An undirected graph is called connected if
there is a path between every pair of
distinct vertices of the graph.
⚬ * Path: path is a sequence of edges that
begins at a vertex of a graph and travels
from vertex to vertex along edges ofthe
graph.
1) COMPLETE GRAPH

Example complete bipartite graph 𝐾₂,₄ has 2 × 4 = 8 edges
3) DISCRETE GRAPH
• A discrete graph consists of only certain
discrete points. Or in other word, the value of
y is independent to x
• Example: If you graphed y = x2 for all integer
values of x, then you would only have certain
values: (0,0) (1,1) (2,4) (3,9) etc. (-1,1) (-2,4) (-
3,9) etc. You do NOT connect the dots in this
case. Therefore, it is called discrete graph
4) LINEAR GRAPH
• A continuous graph contains all points within
a given interval or perhaps the entire number
line. Or in other word, the value of y is
dependent to x
• Example: If you graphed y = x² for all values of
x, it would be a continuous graph from one
side of the graph to the other

PATHS
• A path is a sequence of edges that begins at a
vertex of a graph and travels from vertex to
vertex along edges of the graph.
• 𝑨, 𝑩 and 𝑪 are path because there exists an edge that connects every
consecutives vertex.
• 𝑫 is not a path because there is no edge that connects 𝑉₅ and 𝑉₃ directly.
• 𝑨 and 𝑩 also be called trails because each edge is only traversed once. (trails =
simple path)
• Path 𝑨 and 𝑩 are also be called simple path where the vertex are only passed
through once.
CIRCUIT & CYCLE
• A closed path/circuit is a path that starts and
ends at the same vertex.
• A cycle is a closed path with at least 3 edges
and there are no other vertices or edges
repeated except the starting vertex/node.
• From vertex A to B there exists three different paths:
𝑃 = (𝑒₁) ; 𝑄 = (𝑒₂, 𝑒₃, 𝑒₄, 𝑒₅) ; 𝑅 = (𝑒₇, 𝑒₆)
• Closed path: 𝑆 = (𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐹, 𝐴) ; 𝑇 = (𝐵, 𝐶, 𝐷, 𝐸, 𝐴, 𝐹, 𝐵)

the plane without any edges crossing each
other.
Example:

and starts and finish at the same
vertex.
We can see that once we travel to vertex E there is
no way to leave without returning to C, so there
is no possibility of a Hamiltonian circuit. If we
start at vertex E we can find several Hamiltonian
paths, such as (E,C,D,A,B) and (E,C,A,B,D)
• One Hamiltonian circuit is shown on the graph above.
• There are several other Hamiltonian circuits possible on this graph. Notice that
the circuit only has to visit every vertex once; it does not need to use every edge.
• This circuit could be notated by the sequence of vertices visited, starting and
ending at the same vertex: (A,B,F,G,C,D,H,M,L,K,J,E,A). Notice that the same
circuit could be written in reverse order, or starting and ending at a
different vertex.

b) 9 23 17 4 30 7 14 16 15 19
c) 19 27 16 15 14 30 39 17 9 3

2. Create a BST from the following sequence of words

(sentence), with the first word is the root.
a) MOST STUDENTS IN THIS CLASS HAS STUDIED
BASIC LOGIC
b) EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, EVEN
WHEN WE ARE NOT WISE TO SEE IT
3. Represent the following arithmetic expression as
binary tree:
a) (A + B) ∗ (C − D)
b) ((A + B ∗ C + D) ∗ E) − ( (A + B) ∗ (C − D))
• Tree traversals is a process of visiting
(examining and/or updating) each node in a
trees, exactly once, in a systematic way.
• Method of searching Binary Tree:
⚬ 1) Pre-order traversal
⚬ 2) In-order traversal
⚬ 3) Post-order traversal
To traverse a non-empty binary tree in pre-order, perform the following operations
recursively at each node, starting with the root node:
• Visit the root.
• Traverse the left subtree.
• Traverse the right subtree.
Example:

Example:

Pre-order: F, B, A, D, C, E, G, I, H

Example:

Pre-order: A, B, D, E, C, F, G

Pre-order: 1, 2, 3

• Visit the root.
• Traverse the right subtree.
Example:

Example:

In-order: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I

Example:

In-order: D, B, E, A, F, C, G

In-order: 1, 2, 3

Find the tree traversals (pre-order, in-order & post-order) of the following
tree:

Solution:
Pre-order : 54,27,13,1,44,37,89,71,64,92
In-order : 1,13,27,37,44,54,64,71,89,92
Post-order :1,13,37,44,27,64,71,92,89,54
Find the tree traversals (pre-order, in-order & post-
order) of the following tree:
a)

b)
c)
• A full binary tree is a tree in which every vertex other
than the leaves has two children.

• A complete binary tree is a binary tree in which every

level except possibly the last is completely filled and all
nodes are as far left as possible.
• Parent = A
• Left child of vertex A = vertex B
• Right child of vertex A = vertex C
✓ The leftmost side of the leaf node must always be filled first.
✓ It isn’t necessary for the last leaf node to have a right sibling.
Draw a rooted tree having the following properties:
a) Full binary tree, four internal vertices and five
terminal vertices (leaves)
b) Full binary tree, six internal vertices and seven
terminal vertices
Apply tree theories in searching and Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) solving.
Normally it will use Prim’s Algorithm.
From the map below, find the shortest route that the salesperson could use to
travel to each city exactly once starting at Manhattan.
Solution:
By using Prim’s Algorithm, we will get:
