Network (graph theory)
In Graph theory, a network refers to a collection of nodes or vertices connected by edges, which can be directed or undirected, and weighted or unweighted. This concept is crucial in understanding various complex systems, including Social structure, Computer networks, and Transportation systems. The study of networks involves analyzing their Topology, Connectivity, and Centrality, which can reveal valuable insights into the behavior and properties of the system. Algorithms such as the Greedy algorithm and Dijkstra's algorithm are often used to solve problems related to networks, such as finding the shortest path between two nodes. Researchers like Ashish Vaswani have also explored the application of networks in Artificial intelligence and Machine learning.
