Newman: Vertices and Edges in a Network

Zitat

Vertex (pl. vertices): The fundamental unit of a network, also called a site (physics), a node (computer science), or an actor (sociology).

Edge: The line connecting two vertices. Also called a bond (physics), a link (computer science), or a tie (sociology).” (p. 5) #Newman #network #vertex #edge #bond #link

Newman: What is a network?

Zitat

“A network is a set of items, which we will call vertices or sometimes nodes, with connections between them, called edges. Systems taking the form of networks (also called “graphs” in much of the mathematical literature) abound in the world.” (p. 2) #Newman #network #system
