Def. In formal terms, a directed graph is an ordered pair G = (V, A) where

  • V is a set whose elements are called vertices, nodes, or points;
  • A is a set of ordered pairs of vertices, called arrows, directed edges (sometimes simply edges > with the corresponding set named E instead of A), directed arcs, or directed lines.

Def. A directed cycle in a directed graph $G$ is a path $v_1, v_2, โ€ฆ, v_k$ in $G$ in which $v_1 = v_k, k > 2$, and the first $k-1$ nodes are all distinct.

In computer science, a topological sort or topological ordering of a directed graph is a linear ordering of its vertices such that for every directed edge uv from vertex u to vertex v, u comes before v in the ordering.

Def. A topological ordering of a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ is an ordering of its nodes as $v_1, v_2, โ€ฆ, v_n$ so that for every edge $(v_i, v_j)$ we have $i < j$.

Lemma. For a directed graph G, if G has a topological order, then G is a DAG.

Pf. (by contraction)
Suppose that G has a topological order.
Suppose that G has a directed cycle C.

Let vi be the lowest-indexed vertex in C
and let vj be the vertex just before vi in C.
thus, (vj, vi) is an edge.

WLOG, we have i < j.

On the other hand, Since (vj, vi) is an edge and v1,... ,vn is a topological order,
we must have j < i. (-><-)

So, G has a no directed cycle.
Therefore, G is a DAG.
Lemma. For a directed graph G, if G is a DAG, then G has a topological order.

Pf. (by induction on i)
(i = 1) true, because topological ordering is G.
(i = n + 1)
Suppose that if G is a DAG of size <= n, G has a topological order.

Given DAG G with n+1 vertexs.
Let v be a vertex with no incoming edges.

G - {v} is a DAG, since deleting v cannot create cycles.
By hypothesis, G - {v} has a topological order.

Create topological ordering for G:
 - Place v first; then append topological ordering of G - {v}
 - This is valid since v has no incoming edges.

By induction, the lemma is proven.
