Path (graph theory)

Cycle in graph theory and computer science has several meanings: A closed walk, with repeated vertices allowed. See path (graph theory). (This usage is common in computer science. In graph theory it is more often called a closed walk.) A closed (simple) path, with no other repeated vertices than the starting and ending vertices. (This usage is common in graph theory.) This may also be called a simple cycle, circuit, circle, or polygon. A closed dir ...

A path is a route between two points. It may also be used metaphorically, as a philosophical route to a desired state or destination. Path can also refer to: Path in hiking, often synonymous with a trail, although trail generally implies longer distances, unsurfaced ground, and natural terrain, whereas a path, particularly in an urban setting, can be much shorter, have a paved surface, and meander through landscaped areas.
