Adjacency matrix definition

Matrix showing edges connecting each pair of vertices in a graph

Size of adjacency matrix for nn vertices

n×nn \times n square matrix

What adjacency matrix entries represent

Number of edges between the two vertices

Meaning of 0 in adjacency matrix cell

No edge connecting those two vertices

Meaning of 1 in adjacency matrix cell

Exactly one edge connecting those two vertices

Definition of a loop in graph theory

Single edge connecting a vertex to itself

Where loops appear in adjacency matrix

On the diagonal (where row and column labels match)

Definition of bipartite graph

Vertices in 2 groups; edges only between groups, not within

Symmetry in undirected graph adjacency matrix

Matrix is symmetric (entry at A,B equals entry at B,A)

Row and column labels in adjacency matrix

Vertex names (e.g., AA, BB, CC, DD, EE)
