MATRIXES and GRAPHS 2)

S. LIPSCHUTZ writes: "It is sometimes practical, especially for computational reasons, to represent (a graph) G by a matrix. Note that the edges of G can be represented by an n x 2 integer matrix B were each row of B denotes an edge of G… This edge matrix B does not completely describe G unless we are also given the number m of vertices (nodes) of G… " and: "… the adjacency matrix is very useful in deciding questions of connectivity" (1976, p.88).
Conversely, it may be useful to represent a matrix by a graph.
