Exploring Degeneracy in Graphs: A Technical Exploration and Real-World Applications
Degeneracy in Graphs: A Technical Exploration Introduction to Graph Degeneracy Degeneracy in graphs refers to the presence of multiple strongly connected components. In other words, a graph is said to be degenerate if it contains more than one strongly connected component. This concept is crucial in understanding various graph-related problems, such as finding strongly connected components and determining the connectivity between nodes. Background on Graph Representation To work with graphs effectively, we need to represent them in a suitable format.
