Overview
There are two standard ways of representing graphs in memory: adjacency-list representations and adjacency-matrix representations.
%%ANKI
Basic
Using asymptotic notation, how do the number of edges in a graph relate to the number of vertices?
Back: \lvert E \rvert = O(\lvert V^2 \rvert)

%%ANKI
Basic
For graph G = \langle V, E \rangle
, why is \lvert E \rvert = O(\lvert V^2 \rvert)
?
Back: Because E
is a binary relation on V
.

Adjacency-List
Let G = \langle V, E \rangle
be a graph. An adjacency-list representation of G
has an array of size \lvert V \rvert
. Given v \in V
, the index corresponding to v
contains a linked list containing all adjacent vertices.

be a graph. It's adjacency-list representation is an array of what size?
Back: \lvert V \rvert
