adjacencybased
Adjacencybased is an adjective used in technical literature to describe methods, analyses, or models that rely primarily on adjacency relations among elements within a structured domain. In this usage, "adjacent" refers to elements that are directly connected or neighboring according to a predefined structure, such as a graph, a grid, or a sequence. Adjacency can be binary (connected vs not) or weighted by distance, similarity, or another measure.
Implementation typically requires specifying an adjacency structure. This is often captured with an adjacency matrix or
Applications and examples: In graph theory and data analysis, adjacency-based methods underpin clustering, pathfinding, and diffusion
Advantages and limitations: Adjacency-based approaches are often intuitive and scalable, emphasizing local structure and interpretability. They
