Discrete-time Markov Chains
Much of how we interact with life could be described as transitions between states. These states could be weather conditions (whether we are in a state of “sunny” or “rainy”), the places we may visit...

Tarjan’s Strongly Connected Components Algorithm
I just added a program that finds the strongly connected components of a graph using Tarjan’s Algorithm. A strongly connected component of a graph is a subgraph S of G where every pair of nodes, u and...

Degree Centrality of a Graph
I wanted to spend some time on centrality measures of a graph. These are measurements of how important each node (or edge) is to the overall graph. But how do we define, or determine, importance?...

Floyd-Warshall Shortest Paths
The Floyd Warshall algorithm is an all pairs shortest paths algorithm. This can be contrasted with algorithms like Dijkstra’s which give the shortest paths from a single node to all other nodes in the...
