In the mathematical and algorithmic study of
graph theory, the
transpose graph or
reverse graph of a
directed graph G is another directed graph on the same set of vertices with all of the edges reversed compared to the orientation of the corresponding edges in
G. That is, if
G contains an edge
(u,v) then the transpose of
G contains an edge
(v,u) and vice versa. The transpose graph is so named because its
adjacency matrix is the
transpose of the adjacency matrix of the original graph. It is denoted symbolically as
GT or
GR depending on whether the transpose graph or reverse graph terminology is used, respectively.
