Math Problem Statement

Use an adjacency list to represent the given graphs.

Solution

To represent the given graphs using an adjacency list, we will list the neighbors for each vertex based on the directed edges shown in each graph. Here are the adjacency lists for the graphs numbered 1-4.

Graph 1:

Vertices: a,b,c,da, b, c, d

  • ab,da \rightarrow b, d
  • ba,cb \rightarrow a, c
  • cb,dc \rightarrow b, d
  • da,cd \rightarrow a, c

Adjacency List:

  • a:b,da: b, d
  • b:a,cb: a, c
  • c:b,dc: b, d
  • d:a,cd: a, c

Graph 2:

Vertices: a,b,c,d,ea, b, c, d, e

  • ab,da \rightarrow b, d
  • ba,c,db \rightarrow a, c, d
  • cec \rightarrow e
  • dc,ed \rightarrow c, e
  • ee (no outgoing edges)

Adjacency List:

  • a:b,da: b, d
  • b:a,c,db: a, c, d
  • c:ec: e
  • d:c,ed: c, e
  • e:e: (no outgoing edges)

Graph 3:

Vertices: a,b,c,da, b, c, d

  • ab,da \rightarrow b, d
  • ba,c,db \rightarrow a, c, d
  • ca,dc \rightarrow a, d
  • da,b,cd \rightarrow a, b, c

Adjacency List:

  • a:b,da: b, d
  • b:a,c,db: a, c, d
  • c:a,dc: a, d
  • d:a,b,cd: a, b, c

Graph 4:

Vertices: a,b,c,d,ea, b, c, d, e

  • ab,c,da \rightarrow b, c, d
  • ba,d,eb \rightarrow a, d, e
  • ca,b,ec \rightarrow a, b, e
  • db,c,ed \rightarrow b, c, e
  • ea,de \rightarrow a, d

Adjacency List:

  • a:b,c,da: b, c, d
  • b:a,d,eb: a, d, e
  • c:a,b,ec: a, b, e
  • d:b,c,ed: b, c, e
  • e:a,de: a, d
