Exploring the Application of Graph Theory in Network Analysis

Abstract

Graph theory serves as a backbone for analyzing complex networks, including social networks,

transportation, and biological systems. This paper explains core concepts, historical development, algorithms,

and real-world applications.

1. Historical Background

Graph theory originated with Euler's 1736 solution to the Seven Bridges of K nigsberg problem, laying the

foundation for studying networks systematically.

2. Core Concepts

Graphs consist of vertices (nodes) and edges (connections). Types include directed, undirected, weighted,

and unweighted graphs.

3. Applications in Social Networks

Graph theory helps analyze social media connections, identify influential nodes, and detect communities.

4. Applications in Logistics and Transportation

It is used to optimize routes in delivery systems, traffic management, and supply chain networks.

5. Algorithms

Algorithms like Dijkstra's for shortest paths and Kruskal's for minimum spanning trees are vital for practical

network analysis.

6. Future Research

Focus areas include scalable algorithms, AI integration, and advanced graph neural networks for pattern

discovery.
