Abstract

This study presents a new method of representing graphs and a new approach of constructing both incidence and adjacency matrices using the theory of product measures. It further shows that matrices constructed by this approach are measurable which a major advantage of this method is.

Keywords:

Adjacency matrix, incidence matrix, product measures, measures,
