Random graphs
Random graphs are mathematical models used to study networks where connections between nodes (points) are formed randomly. Imagine a set of dots representing people, computers, or cities; then, lines connecting them symbolize relationships or pathways. In a random graph, each line is added based on a probability, making the overall network unpredictable but analyzable. This approach helps researchers understand complex systems like social networks, communication systems, or biological processes by examining how random connections influence their structure and behavior.
