In [[mathematics]], especially in the fields of [[universal algebra]] and [[graph theory]], a '''graph algebra''' is a way of giving a [[directed graph]] an [[algebraic structure]]. It was introduced
== Definition ==
Let {{math|1=''D'' = (''V'', ''E'')}} be a directed [[graph (data structure)|graph]], and {{math|0}} an element not in {{mvar|V}}. The graph algebra associated with {{mvar|D}} has underlying set <math>V \cup \{0\}</math>, and is equipped with a multiplication defined by the rules
* {{math|1=''xy'' = ''x''}} if <math>x,y \in V</math> and <math>(x,y) \in E</math>,
*
== Applications ==
This notion has made it possible to use the methods of graph theory in universal algebra and several other areas of [[discrete mathematics]] and [[computer science]]. Graph algebras have been used, for example, in constructions concerning [[Dual (category theory)|dualities]],{{sfn|Davey|Idziak|Lampe|McNulty|2000|pp=145–172}} [[equational theory|equational theories]],{{sfn|Pöschel|1989|pp=273–282}} [[flatness (systems theory)|flatness]],{{sfn|Delić|2001|pp=453–469}} [[groupoid (algebra)|groupoid]] [[ring (mathematics)|rings]],{{sfn|Lee|1991|pp=117–121}} [[topology|topologies]],{{sfn|Lee|1988|pp=147–156}} [[variety (universal algebra)|varieties]],{{sfn|Oates-Williams|1984|pp=175–177}} [[finite-state machine]]s,{{sfn|Kelarev|Miller|Sokratova|2005|pp=46–54}}{{sfn|Kelarev|Sokratova|2003|pp=31–43}}
tree languages and [[tree automata]],{{sfn|Kelarev|Sokratova|2001|pp=305–311}} etc.
