The function f sends an edge to the pair of vertices that are its endpoints, thus f is. In this part well see a real application of this connection. Topological sort a topological sort of a dag, a directed acyclic graph, g v, e is a linear ordering of all its vertices such that if g contains an edge u, v, then u appears before v in the ordering.
