In the mathematical field of graph theory, the distance between two vertices in a graph is the number of edges in a shortest path (also called a graph geodesic) connecting them. This is also known as the geodesic distance. Notice that there may be more than one shortest path between two vertices.

Notice that there may be more than one shortest path between two vertices. If there is no path connecting the two vertices, i.e., if they belong to different connected components, then conventionally the distance is defined as infinite.

如果两个顶点间没有路径连接，也就是说，如果它们属于不同的连通分支，那么按照惯例，距离被定义为无穷大。

In the case of a directed graph the distance [math]\displaystyle{ d(u,v) }[/math] between two vertices [math]\displaystyle{ u }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math] is defined as the length of a shortest directed path from [math]\displaystyle{ u }[/math] to [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math] consisting of arcs, provided at least one such path exists. Notice that, in contrast with the case of undirected graphs, [math]\displaystyle{ d(u,v) }[/math] does not necessarily coincide with [math]\displaystyle{ d(v,u) }[/math], and it might be the case that one is defined while the other is not.

在有向图的情况下，两个顶点之间 [math]\displaystyle{ u }[/math]和[math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math]的距离[math]\displaystyle{ d(u,v) }[/math]被定义为从[math]\displaystyle{ u }[/math] 到 [math]\displaystyle{ v }[/math]由弧组成的最短有向路径的长度，前提是至少存在一条这样的路径。请注意，与无向图的情况不同， [math]\displaystyle{ d(u,v) }[/math] 不一定与[math]\displaystyle{ d(v,u) }[/math]一致，而且可能一个是被定义的，而另一个不是。
