Diameter of a Graph | Graph Theory

What is the diameter of a graph in graph theory? This is a simple term we will define with examples in today's video graph theory lesson!

Remember that the distance between two connected vertices in a graph is the length of a shortest path between those vertices. Here's my lesson on distance between vertices:    • Distance Between Two Vertices in Grap...  

Of all distances between pairs of vertices in a connected graph, the greatest distance is the diameter of the graph, written diam(G) for a graph G. In other words, the diameter of a connected graph G is the greatest distance (number of edges) necessary to travel between any pair of vertices in G.



I hope you find this video helpful, and be sure to ask any questions down in the comments!

The outro music is by a favorite musician of mine named Vallow, who, upon my request, kindly gave me permission to use his music in my outros. I usually put my own music in the outros, but I love Vallow's music, and wanted to share it with those of you watching. Please check out all of his wonderful work.
