In graph theory, the term "girth" refers to the length of the shortest cycle in a graph. The girth is an important parameter because it provides insights into the structure of the graph. For example: - If a graph has no cycles (i.e., it is a tree), its girth is often considered to be infinite because there are no cycles at all.
