            According  to graph theory, this  state transition  is a directed  graph,  that is, a
        graph where nodes are linked by a directed  branch.



        93  GRAPH   THEORY

            (1)  A graph is composed  of a node and a branch.
            (2)  A graph that has a directed  branch is a directed  graph (see Figure  9.5).
               In the directed  graph where node  i is linked to node j  by a directed
