Incidence Matrix

An incidence matrix is a way to represent the relationships between two types of entities, such as nodes and edges in a network. It’s a table where rows typically stand for nodes (points) and columns for connections or links between these nodes. Each cell in the table indicates whether a particular node is connected to a specific link, often marked as 1 (connected) or 0 (not connected). This matrix provides a clear, organized way to analyze and visualize how different parts of a network relate to each other, useful in fields like graph theory, computer science, and network analysis.
