Distance (graph theory)

In the mathematical field of graph theory, the distance between two vertices in a graph is the number of edges in a shortest path (also called a graph geodesic) connecting them. This is also known as the geodesic distance. Notice that there may be more than one shortest path between two vertices.〔
〕 If there is no path connecting the two vertices, i.e., if they belong to different connected components, then conventionally the distance is defined as infinite.
In the case of a directed graph the distance d(u,v) between two vertices u and v is defined as the length of a shortest path from u to v consisting of arcs, provided at least one such path exists.〔F. Harary, Graph Theory, Addison-Wesley, 1969, p.199.〕 Notice that, in contrast with the case of undirected graphs, d(u,v) does not necessarily coincide with d(v,u), and it might be the case that one is defined while the other is not.

A metric space defined over a set of points in terms of distances in a graph defined over the set is called a graph metric.
The vertex set (of an undirected graph) and the distance function form a metric space, if and only if the graph is connected.
The eccentricity \epsilon(v) of a vertex v is the greatest geodesic distance between v and any other vertex. It can be thought of as how far a node is from the node most distant from it in the graph.
The radius r of a graph is the minimum eccentricity of any vertex or, in symbols, r = \min_ \epsilon(v).
The diameter d of a graph is the maximum eccentricity of any vertex in the graph. That is, d it is the greatest distance between any pair of vertices or, alternatively, d = \max_\epsilon(v). To find the diameter of a graph, first find the shortest path between each pair of vertices. The greatest length of any of these paths is the diameter of the graph.
A central vertex in a graph of radius r is one whose eccentricity is r—that is, a vertex that achieves the radius or, equivalently, a vertex v such that \epsilon(v) = r.
A peripheral vertex in a graph of diameter d is one that is distance d from some other vertex—that is, a vertex that achieves the diameter. Formally, v is peripheral if \epsilon(v) = d.
A pseudo-peripheral vertex v has the property that for any vertex u, if v is as far away from u as possible, then u is as far away from v as possible. Formally, a vertex ''u'' is pseudo-peripheral,
if for each vertex ''v'' with d(u,v) = \epsilon(u) holds \epsilon(u)=\epsilon(v).
The partition of a graphs vertices into subsets by their distances from a given starting vertex is called the level structure of the graph.
A graph such that for every pair of vertices there is a unique shortest path connecting them is called a geodetic graph. For example, all trees are geodetic.〔Øystein Ore, Theory of graphs (ed., 1967 ), Colloquium Publications, American Mathematical Society,
