graph (plural graphs)
(applied mathematics, statistics) A data chart (graphical representation of data) intended to illustrate the relationship between a set (or sets) of numbers (quantities, measurements or indicative numbers) and a reference set, whose elements are indexed to those of the former set(s) and may or may not be numbers.

Problems involving graphs first appeared in the mathematical folklore as puzzles (e.g. Königsberg bridge problem). Later, graphs appeared in electrical engineering (Kirchhof's Law), chemistry, psychology and economics before becoming a unified field of study.
(topology) A topological space which represents some graph (ordered pair of sets) and which is constructed by representing the vertices as points and the edges as copies of the real interval [0,1] (where, for any given edge, 0 and 1 are identified with the points representing the two vertices) and equipping the result with a particular topology called the graph topology.
Synonym: topological graph

First, let us define its 1-dimensional analog, that is, a topological graph. A graph
Δ
{\displaystyle \Delta }
is a 1-dimensional stratified topological space with finitely many 0-strata (vertices) and finitely many 1-strata (edges). […] A graph such that any vertex belongs to at least two half-edges we call an s-graph. Clearly the boundary
∂
Ω
{\displaystyle \partial \Omega }
of a surface
Ω
{\displaystyle \Omega }
with marked points is an s-graph.
A morphism of graphs
φ
:
Δ

→
Δ
″
{\displaystyle \varphi :\Delta '\rightarrow \Delta ''}
is a continuous epimorphic map of graphs compatible with the stratification; i.e., the restriction of
φ
{\displaystyle \varphi }
to any open 1-stratum (interior of an edge) of
Δ
′
{\displaystyle \Delta '}
is a local (therefore, global) homeomorphism with appropriate open 1-stratum of
Δ
″
{\displaystyle \Delta ''}
.
(category theory, of a morphism f) A morphism
Γ
f
{\displaystyle \Gamma _{f}}
from the domain of
f
{\displaystyle f}
to the product of the domain and codomain of
f
{\displaystyle f}
, such that the first projection applied to
Γ
f
{\displaystyle \Gamma _{f}}
equals the identity of the domain, and the second projection applied to
Γ
f
{\displaystyle \Gamma _{f}}
is equal to
f
{\displaystyle f}
.
(linguistics, typography) A graphical unit on the token-level, the abstracted fundamental shape of a character or letter as distinct from its ductus (realization in a particular typeface or handwriting on the instance-level) and as distinct by a grapheme on the type-level by not fundamentally distinguishing meaning.
Synonym: glyph
==== Usage notes ====
In mathematics, the graphical representation of a function sense is generally of interest only at an elementary level. Nevertheless, the term vertex-edge graph is sometimes used in educational texts to distinguish the graph theory sense.
