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. An algebraic theory of graph factorization is introduced. Since each edge contributes two degrees, the sum of the degrees of all vertices in g is twice the number of edges in g. Then g has an ffactor if and only if tg, f has a 1factor.
