Fundamentally, the representation of a graph is always equivalent to an adjacent matrix. The most usual methods are uncompressed matrix, adjacent list, and compressed matrix.

=== Traverse ===
=== Traverse ===
=== Properties ===
* BFS is the simplest traverse one can conduct on a graph. Useful to do the basic shortest path discoveries.
=== Algorithms ===
* DFS is useful for establishing strongly connected components. It can also be used to classify edges in the graph (tree edge, back, forward, cross).
=== Topological sort and Strongly Connected Components ===
* As each vertex is finished, insert it into the front of a linked list.
* For directional graphs, its strongly connected graph can be computed in the following way: 1) do a DFS to establish topological order, 2) do the DFS on the transposed graph using the order in reverse order of its finishing time.
=== Minimum Spanning Trees ===
* Kruskal: add the lowest edge that connected different components. <math>O(E lg V)</math>
* Prim: find the light edge between the sites. <math>O(E lg V)</math>
=== Shortest Paths ===
* Bellman-Ford: relax each edge V times, O(VE).
* DAG can be done in O(V+E) time, by looking at it in topological order.
* Dijkstra: relax all the edges of the newly visited node. O(V^2)
