tree

Tree:
Tree is a connected graph with no cycle

Theorem:
Let G be graph with more than one vertex. Then the following are equivalence:
1) G is a tree.
2) G is cycle-free with (n-1) edges.
3) G is connected and has (n-1) edges. (i.e: if any edge is deleted then the resulting graph is not connected)



Rooted tree:
A rooted tree R consists of a tree graph together with vertex r called the root of the tree.


Height or depth: The number of levels of a tree

Leaves: The vertices of the tree that have no child (vertices with degree one)

Order Rooted Tree (ORT): Whenever draw the digraph of a tree, we assume some ordering at each level, by arranging children from left to right.



Degree of tree: The largest number of children in the vertices of the tree Binary tree : every vertex has at most 2 children

Any algebraic expression involving binary operations +, -, ?, ÷ can be represented by an order rooted tree (ORT)

the binary rooted tree for a+b is :

The variable in the expression a & b appear as leaves and the operations appear as the other vertices.

Polish notation:
The polish notation form of an algebraic expression represents the expression unambiguously with out the need for parentheses
1) a + b (infix)
2) + a b (prefix)
3) a b + (postfix)

example 1: infix polish notation is : a + b prefix polish notation : + a b

example 2: infix polish notation is : a + 2 * b prefix polish notation : + a * 2 b


example 3: infix polish notation is : 2 * a + b prefix polish notation : + * 2 a b


example 4: infix polish notation is : (a – b) / (c * d ) + e) prefix polish notation : / - a b + * c d e


example 5: infix polish notation is : (2 * x + y) (5 * a – b )^2 prefix polish notation : * + * 2 x y ^ - * 5 a b 2



example 6: infix polish notation is : (a + 2 * b) ( 2 * a + b^2) prefix polish notation : * + a * 2 b + * 2 a ^ b 2
