A directed graph that contains no cycles, allowing for a topological order where each vertex is listed before its dependents.
An ordering of the vertices in a directed acyclic graph such that for every directed edge from vertex j to vertex k, j comes before k in the ordering.
The problem of finding the longest path in a graph or DAG, which corresponds to maximizing the number of sequential tasks based on dependencies.
