Introduction to graphs
A graph is a collection of nodes connected by edges. A graph is also frequently called a network, a node may be called a vertex, and an edge may be called a link.
Commonly, a graph is denoted by an ordered pair , where

Edges are the abstraction of some kind of relation between nodes, e.g. similarity, vicinity, communication, etc. We can distinguish directed and undirected edges.
