  • Vertex (graph theory)
    Vertex (graph theory)
    In graph theory, a vertex or node is the fundamental unit out of which graphs are formed: an undirected graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of edges , while a directed graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of arcs...

  • Vertex (curve)
    Vertex (curve)
    In the geometry of curves, a vertex is a point of where the first derivative of curvature is zero. This is typically a local maximum or minimum of curvature. Other special cases may occur, for instance when the second derivative is also zero, or when the curvature is constant...

  • Vertex model
    Vertex model
    A vertex model is a type of statistical mechanics model in which the Boltzmann weights are associated with a vertex in the model . This contrasts with a nearest-neighbour model, such as the Ising model, in which the energy, and thus the Boltzmann weight of a statistical microstate is attributed to...

     in statistical mechanics, a discrete model of a physical system in which weights are associated with vertices of a grid graph.
