Outline (BFS)
Rooted Tree Spanning Tree Breadth-First Search BFS Algorithm Example
Rooted Tree
A rooted tree is a tree in which a special node is singled out. This node is called the "root“. A tree which is not rooted is sometimes called a free tree.
Rooted Tree Free Tree
Spanning Tree
A spanning tree in a graph G with n nodes and m edges:
A sub-graph that connects all the nodes. A sub-graph with no cycles. A sub-graph with m=n-1 edges.
Breadth-First Search
Visits all the nodes and edges of G Determines whether G is connected Computes the connected components of G Find and report a path with the minimum number
of edges between two given nodes Find a simple cycle, if there is one Provide the shortest path from a given root to
all other nodes of the network
BFS for Shortest Path (i=0)
0s
The algorithm uses a mechanism for setting and getting “labels” of nodes and edges. Nodes whose distance from s is 0 are labeled.
BFS for Shortest Path (i=1)

1s
Nodes whose distance from s is 1 are labeled.
BFS for Shortest Path (i=2)

Nodes whose distance from s is 2 are labeled.
BFS for Shortest Path (i=3)

3
Nodes whose distance from s is 3 are labeled.
The next iteration finds out that the whole graph is labeled and therefore the procedure stops.

BFS Algorithm
The algorithm uses a mechanism for setting and getting “labels” of nodes and edges
Search a graph by increasing distance from the starting vertex (or from the starting vertices in case of several connected components).
Can think of creating one level after the other (by increasing depth).
