graph theory
study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects
graph
mathematical structure made of vertices connected in pairs by edges
Seven Bridges of Königsberg
mathematical problem
Markov chain
stochastic model describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event

assignment of colors to elements of a graph subject to certain constraints
degree
number of edges incident to a given vertex in a node-link graph

friendship paradox
phenomenon that most people have fewer friends than their friends have, on average
structural induction
form of mathematical proof
centrality
In graph theory and network analysis, indicators of centrality assign numbers or rankings to nodes within a graph corresponding to their network position. Applications include identifying the most influential person(s) in a social network, key infrastructure nodes in the Internet or urban networks, super-spreaders of disease, and brain networks. Centrality concepts were first developed in social network analysis, and many of the terms used to measure centrality reflect their sociological origin. Over time, the concept has expanded substantially, leading to the development of hundreds of distin

Degree distribution
probability distribution of degrees of a node over the whole network
graph homomorphism
a structure-preserving correspondence between node-link graphs
graph property
isomorphism-invariant property of graphs

forbidden graph characterization
describing a family of graphs by excluding certain (sub)graphs
