graph

verb
  • To draw a graph. 

  • To draw a graph of a function. 

noun
  • A topological space which represents some graph (ordered pair of sets) and which is constructed by representing the vertices as points and the edges as copies of the real interval [0,1] (where, for any given edge, 0 and 1 are identified with the points representing the two vertices) and equipping the result with a particular topology called the graph topology. 

  • A set of vertices (or nodes) connected together by edges; (formally) an ordered pair of sets (V,E), where the elements of V are called vertices or nodes and E is a set of pairs (called edges) of elements of V. See also Graph (discrete mathematics) on Wikipedia.Wikipedia

  • A morphism 𝛤_f from the domain of f to the product of the domain and codomain of f, such that the first projection applied to 𝛤_f equals the identity of the domain, and the second projection applied to 𝛤_f is equal to f.
