Glossary

Adjacent:

Two nodes are adjacent to another if there is an edge connecting them.

Arrow:

A line with an arrowhead from one node to another representing a directed link.

Binary relation:

A two valued yes/no or on/off relation.

Bipartite graph:

A graph, B = 〈N, E〉, where N is a finite set of nodes and E is a collection of pairs of nodes in which N is partitioned into two disjoint subsets, N1 and N2, and no edge in E has both end points in the same subset.

Blockmodeling:

A procedure for clustering actors such that the actors in each cluster share similar patterns of ties both within and between clusters.

Connected:

Any two nodes in a graph are said to be connected if there is a path from one to the other; a graph is connected if there is a path connecting every pair of nodes.

Cycle:

Any path that begins and ends at the same node.

Digraph:

A directed graph.

Directed graph:

A graph D = 〈N, A〉 where N is a finite collection of nodes and Ais a set of pairs linked by directed lines...
