Do Adjacency Lists from Binary Trees go both ways?

From my reading and research it appears it's one way, however my lecturer states that it goes both ways in his examples. Let me show you what i mean by this. He claims that a binary tree built from a ...

Min-eigenvalue bound for a random d-regular graph

I need help proving the following fact: Let $G$ be a random $d$-regular graph with adjacency matrix $A$. The smallest eigenvalue $\lambda_n$ of $A$ should satisfy $|\lambda_n| = o_d(d)$. (In ...

Question regarding a particular type of graph

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a directed graph where every vertex is represented by an $n$ bit string. The edges are represented by two polynomial-sized circuits $S$ and $P$. There is an edge from $u$ to $v$ if ...

When are adjacency lists or matrices the better choice?

I was told that we would use a list if the graph is sparse and a matrix if the graph is dense. For me, it's just a raw definition. I don't see much beyond it. Can you clarify when would it be the ...

Does the order matter in the adjacency matrix?

I have nodes a, b , c,d,N, and e in an adjacency matrix. If I follow the order as a,b,c,d,N,and,e , I get 100010(the question does not matter because I'm asking about the order) for b.But if I follow ...
