Unit Distance Graph
In mathematics, particularly geometric graph theory, a unit distance graph is a Graph (discrete mathematics), graph formed from a collection of points in the Euclidean plane by connecting two points whenever the distance between them is exactly one. To distinguish these graphs from a broader definition that allows some non-adjacent pairs of vertices to be at distance one, they may also be called strict unit distance graphs or faithful unit distance graphs. As a hereditary property, hereditary family of graphs, they can be characterized by forbidden graph characterization, forbidden induced subgraphs. The unit distance graphs include the cactus graphs, the matchstick graphs and penny graphs, and the hypercube graphs. The generalized Petersen graphs are non-strict unit distance graphs. An unsolved problem of Paul Erdős asks how many edges a unit distance graph on n vertices can have. The best known lower bound is slightly above linear in n—far from the upper bound, proportional t ...

Algebraic Number
In mathematics, an algebraic number is a number that is a root of a function, root of a non-zero polynomial in one variable with integer (or, equivalently, Rational number, rational) coefficients. For example, the golden ratio (1 + \sqrt)/2 is an algebraic number, because it is a root of the polynomial X^2 - X - 1, i.e., a solution of the equation x^2 - x - 1 = 0, and the complex number 1 + i is algebraic as a root of X^4 + 4. Algebraic numbers include all integers, rational numbers, and nth root, ''n''-th roots of integers. Algebraic complex numbers are closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and hence form a field (mathematics), field, denoted \overline. The set of algebraic real numbers \overline \cap \R is also a field. Numbers which are not algebraic are called transcendental number, transcendental and include pi, and . There are countable set, countably many algebraic numbers, hence almost all real (or complex) numbers (in the sense of Lebesgue ...

Unit Disk Graph
In geometric graph theory, a unit disk graph is the intersection graph of a family of unit disks in the Euclidean plane. That is, it is a graph with one vertex for each disk in the family, and with an edge between two vertices whenever the corresponding vertices lie within a unit distance of each other. They are commonly formed from a Poisson point process, making them a simple example of a random structure. Definitions There are several possible definitions of the unit disk graph, equivalent to each other up to a choice of scale factor: * Unit disk graphs are the graphs formed from a collection of points in the Euclidean plane, with a vertex for each point and an edge connecting each pair of points whose distance is below a fixed threshold. * Unit disk graphs are the intersection graphs of equal-radius circles, or of equal-radius disks. These graphs have a vertex for each circle or disk, and an edge connecting each pair of circles or disks that have a nonempty intersection. * Un ...

Graph Isomorphism
In graph theory, an isomorphism of graphs ''G'' and ''H'' is a bijection between the vertex sets of ''G'' and ''H'' : f \colon V(G) \to V(H) such that any two vertices ''u'' and ''v'' of ''G'' are adjacent in ''G'' if and only if f(u) and f(v) are adjacent in ''H''. This kind of bijection is commonly described as "edge-preserving bijection", in accordance with the general notion of isomorphism being a structure-preserving bijection. If an isomorphism exists between two graphs, then the graphs are called isomorphic, often denoted by G\simeq H. In the case when the isomorphism is a mapping of a graph onto itself, i.e., when ''G'' and ''H'' are one and the same graph, the isomorphism is called an automorphism of ''G''. Graph isomorphism is an equivalence relation on graphs and as such it partitions the class of all graphs into equivalence classes. A set of graphs isomorphic to each other is called an isomorphism class of graphs. The question of whether graph isomorphism can be dete ...

Euclidean Distance
In mathematics, the Euclidean distance between two points in Euclidean space is the length of the line segment between them. It can be calculated from the Cartesian coordinates of the points using the Pythagorean theorem, and therefore is occasionally called the Pythagorean distance. These names come from the ancient Greek mathematicians Euclid and Pythagoras. In the Greek deductive geometry exemplified by Euclid's ''Elements'', distances were not represented as numbers but line segments of the same length, which were considered "equal". The notion of distance is inherent in the compass tool used to draw a circle, whose points all have the same distance from a common center point. The connection from the Pythagorean theorem to distance calculation was not made until the 18th century. The distance between two objects that are not points is usually defined to be the smallest distance among pairs of points from the two objects. Formulas are known for computing distances b ...

Vertex (graph Theory)
In discrete mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a vertex (plural vertices) or node is the fundamental unit of which graphs are formed: an undirected graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of edges (unordered pairs of vertices), while a directed graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of arcs (ordered pairs of vertices). In a diagram of a graph, a vertex is usually represented by a circle with a label, and an edge is represented by a line or arrow extending from one vertex to another. From the point of view of graph theory, vertices are treated as featureless and indivisible objects, although they may have additional structure depending on the application from which the graph arises; for instance, a semantic network is a graph in which the vertices represent concepts or classes of objects. The two vertices forming an edge are said to be the endpoints of this edge, and the edge is said to be incident to the vertices. A vertex ''w'' is said to be ...

Undirected Graph
In discrete mathematics, particularly in graph theory, a graph is a structure consisting of a set of objects where some pairs of the objects are in some sense "related". The objects are represented by abstractions called '' vertices'' (also called ''nodes'' or ''points'') and each of the related pairs of vertices is called an ''edge'' (also called ''link'' or ''line''). Typically, a graph is depicted in diagrammatic form as a set of dots or circles for the vertices, joined by lines or curves for the edges. The edges may be directed or undirected. For example, if the vertices represent people at a party, and there is an edge between two people if they shake hands, then this graph is undirected because any person ''A'' can shake hands with a person ''B'' only if ''B'' also shakes hands with ''A''. In contrast, if an edge from a person ''A'' to a person ''B'' means that ''A'' owes money to ''B'', then this graph is directed, because owing money is not necessarily reciprocated. Gra ...

Möbius–Kantor Graph
In the mathematics, mathematical field of graph theory, the Möbius–Kantor graph is a symmetric graph, symmetric bipartite graph, bipartite cubic graph with 16 vertices and 24 edges named after August Ferdinand Möbius and Seligmann Kantor. It can be defined as the generalized Petersen graph ''G''(8,3): that is, it is formed by the vertices of an octagon, connected to the vertices of an eight-point star in which each point of the star is connected to the points three steps away from it (an octagram). Möbius–Kantor configuration asked whether there exists a pair of polygons with ''p'' sides each, having the property that the vertices of one polygon lie on the lines through the edges of the other polygon, and vice versa. If so, the vertices and edges of these polygons would form a projective configuration. For ''p'' = 4 there is no solution in the Euclidean plane, but found pairs of polygons of this type, for a generalization of the problem in which the points and edges bel ...

Petersen Graph
In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Petersen graph is an undirected graph with 10 vertices and 15 edges. It is a small graph that serves as a useful example and counterexample for many problems in graph theory. The Petersen graph is named after Julius Petersen, who in 1898 constructed it to be the smallest bridgeless cubic graph with no three- edge-coloring. Although the graph is generally credited to Petersen, it had in fact first appeared 12 years earlier, in a paper by . Kempe observed that its vertices can represent the ten lines of the Desargues configuration, and its edges represent pairs of lines that do not meet at one of the ten points of the configuration. Donald Knuth states that the Petersen graph is "a remarkable configuration that serves as a counterexample to many optimistic predictions about what might be true for graphs in general." The Petersen graph also makes an appearance in tropical geometry. The cone over the Petersen graph is naturally ...

Existential Theory Of The Reals
In mathematical logic, computational complexity theory, and computer science, the existential theory of the reals is the set of all true sentences of the form \exists X_1 \cdots \exists X_n \, F(X_1,\dots, X_n), where the variables X_i are interpreted as having real number values, and where F(X_1,\dots X_n) is a quantifier-free formula involving equalities and inequalities of real polynomials. A sentence of this form is true if it is possible to find values for all of the variables that, when substituted into formula F, make it become true.. The decision problem for the existential theory of the reals is the problem of finding an algorithm that decides, for each such sentence, whether it is true or false. Equivalently, it is the problem of testing whether a given semialgebraic set is non-empty. This decision problem is NP-hard and lies in PSPACE, giving it significantly lower complexity than Alfred Tarski's quantifier elimination procedure for deciding statements in the first-orde ...

NP-hard
In computational complexity theory, a computational problem ''H'' is called NP-hard if, for every problem ''L'' which can be solved in non-deterministic polynomial-time, there is a polynomial-time reduction from ''L'' to ''H''. That is, assuming a solution for ''H'' takes 1 unit time, ''H''s solution can be used to solve ''L'' in polynomial time. As a consequence, finding a polynomial time algorithm to solve a single NP-hard problem would give polynomial time algorithms for all the problems in the complexity class NP. As it is suspected, but unproven, that P≠NP, it is unlikely that any polynomial-time algorithms for NP-hard problems exist. A simple example of an NP-hard problem is the subset sum problem. Informally, if ''H'' is NP-hard, then it is at least as difficult to solve as the problems in NP. However, the opposite direction is not true: some problems are undecidable, and therefore even more difficult to solve than all problems in NP, but they are probably not NP- ...
