Weakly Connected Directed Graphs | Digraph Theory

Показать описание
What is a connected digraph? When we start considering directed graphs, we have to rethink our definition of connected. We say that an undirected graph is connected if there exists a path connecting every pair of vertices. However, in a directed graph, we need to be more specific since it is possible there exists a u-v path but no v-u path.

Recall that the underlying graph of a directed graph is obtained by removing the direction from the edges of the directed graph. If the underlying graph of a digraph D is connected, then we say the digraph D is weakly connected. Thus, for this particular measure of connectivity, we defer back to undirected graphs and the original definition of connected. However, there is a stronger definition for a stronger type of connectivity in digraphs. What do you think it is?

If the underlying graph of a directed graph is disconnected, we also call the directed graph disconnected.

I hope you find this video helpful, and be sure to ask any questions down in the comments!

I usually put my own music in the outros, but I love Vallow's music, and wanted to share it with those of you watching. Please check out all of his wonderful work.

Concept of "underlying graph" is coming handy in this definition, thanks for arranging topics in proper order in this graph theory playlist!

Video suggestion: reduced graphs in di graphs, and how to identify strongly connected components.

Where can I find the video about strongly connectedness?

Thanks for excellent video, sir. But I have a question. You said let be D a directed graph. then D is weakly connected if the underlying graph of D is connect. But Is D neccessarily a weakly connected graph? Is D can't be a strongly connected graph? I don't know what I'm missing..
