adjacency matrix

Mathematics
  • For a graph G, with n vertices v1, v2,…, vn, the adjacency matrix A is the n×n matrix [aij] with aij equalling the number of edges connecting vi to vj. The matrix A is symmetric if G is not directed and the sum of any row’s (or column’s) entries is equal to the degree of the corresponding vertex. An example of a graph and its adjacency matrix A is shown in the figure.

    adjacency matrix

    A graph G

    adjacency matrix

    The adjacency matrix of G


Computer
  • A matrix used as a means of representing an adjacency structure, which in turn represents a graph. If A is the adjacency matrix corresponding to a given graph G, then

    aij=1

    if there is an edge from vertex i to vertex j in G; otherwise

    aij=0

    If G is a directed graph then

    aij=1

    if there is an edge directed from vertex i to vertex j; otherwise

    aij=0

    If the vertices of the graph are numbered 1,2,…m, the adjacency matrix is of a type m×m. If

    A×A××A(pterms,pm)

    is evaluated, the nonzero entries indicate those vertices that are joined by a path of length p; indeed the value of the (i,j)th entry of Ap gives the number of paths of length p from the vertex i to vertex j. By examining the set of such matrices,

    p=1,2,,m1

    it can be determined whether two vertices are connected.

    It is also possible for adjacency matrices to be formed from Boolean matrices.
