Cycle Space

In graph theory, an area of mathematics, a cycle space is a vector space defined from an undirected graph; elements of the cycle space represent formal combinations of cycles in the graph. Cycle spaces allow one to use the tools of linear algebra to study graphs. A cycle basis is a set of cycles that generates the cycle space.

Famous quotes containing the words cycle and/or space:

    The lifelong process of caregiving, is the ultimate link between caregivers of all ages. You and I are not just in a phase we will outgrow. This is life—birth, death, and everything in between.... The care continuum is the cycle of life turning full circle in each of our lives. And what we learn when we spoon-feed our babies will echo in our ears as we feed our parents. The point is not to be done. The point is to be ready to do again.
    Paula C. Lowe (20th century)

    Through space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; through thought I comprehend the world.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
