A sparse network typically refers to a type of network in which the connections or edges between nodes (or vertices) are limited in number compared to the total possible connections. In other words, most nodes in the network have relatively few connections. This concept can be applied to various fields such as computer science, graph theory, telecommunications, and social network analysis. ### Characteristics of Sparse Networks: 1. **Low Edge Density**: The ratio of the number of edges to the maximum number of edges is low.
