NOTICE Unless I explicitly say otherwise, all pages and posts on this site are largely speculation based on observations. Where experiments have been done to provide conclusive evidence it is noted. These posts are a brain dump of my thoughts (to capture those elusive moments) at the time of writing, and is therefore likely to change as the results of research proves otherwise. Obviously this does not apply to posts where I describe a technique that has been implemented and tested.

Problems that can be solved with graphs

Having data represented as graphs is one thing but once you have that graph, what do you want to know about it? What can it tell you? This is a collection of resources with ideas of how to use graphs or graph algorithms.
