Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 13-4 Network Representation 13-A NetworkA collection of points or objects that are interconnected in some way. VertexAn object such as a computer, phone, city, island, etc. which makes up a network. EdgeRepresented by a line or curve to be a connection between two vertices.

The vertices represent the land masses (capital letters) and the edges represent the bridges (lowercase letters).

An Euler circuit exists for a network if each vertex has an even number of edges. In the figure below, networks (a) and (b) have Euler circuits, but (c) and (d) do not.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide The Burning Bridges Rule for Finding Euler Circuits You may begin your circuit from any vertex in the network. However, as you choose edges to follow, never use an edge that is the only connection to a part of the network that you have not already visited. 13-A

Complete network Every vertex is directly connected to every other vertex. TreeA network in which all of the vertices are connected and no circuits appear. Order The number of vertices in a network. Degree of vertex The number of edges connected to the vertex.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide Minimum Cost Spanning Networks Two spanning networks. The total cost of each spanning network is the sum of the individual costs on its edges. The total cost for spanning network (a) is much higher than the total cost for spanning network (b). 13-A

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide Kruskal’s Algorithm for Finding Minimum Cost Networks Step 1:Make a list of the edges from the least expensive to the most expensive. Step 2:Begin with the least expensive edge. Highlight it to indicate that it is part of the minimum cost spanning network. Continue to select edges in order of increasing cost until every vertex is connected, either directly or indirectly, to every other vertex. Step 3:If a closed circuit has been created within the spanning network, remove the most expensive edge. The final result is the minimum cost spanning network. 13-A
