Cyclic graph

In mathematics, a cyclic graph may mean a graph that contains a cycle, or a graph that is a cycle, with varying definitions of cycles. See:Cycle, a cycle in a graph Forest, an undirected graph with no cycles Biconnected graph, an undirected graph in which every edge belongs to a cycle Directed acyclic graph, a directed graph with no cycles Strongly connected graph, a directed graph in which every edge belongs to a cycle Aperiodic graph, a directed graph in which the cycle lengths have no nontrivial common divisor Pseudoforest, a directed or undirected graph in which every connected component includes at most one cycle Cycle graph, a graph that has the structure of a single cycle Pancyclic graph, a graph that has cycles of all possible lengths Cycle detection, the algorithmic problem of finding cycles in graphs
