symbolicgraph
Symbolicgraph is a concept used to represent symbolic information as a graph. It is not a single standard data format but a family of representations in which expressions, constraints, or formulas are encoded as nodes and edges. Nodes denote symbols such as variables, constants, or operators, while edges indicate operands or relational structure. The graph-based form supports sharing of subexpressions, enabling memory-efficient storage and enabling common subexpression elimination during evaluation and rewriting.
A common instantiation is the term graph, where a node labeled by a function symbol connects to
Variants of symbolic graphs include hypergraphs, which can represent multi-arity relations more naturally, and attributed graphs,
Applications span symbolic algebra systems, automated reasoning and theorem proving, model checking, symbolic execution in program
