Abstract

Linear graphs have been utilized by several authors to provide a geometric depiction of the structure of a group. Graphs will be defined in the next section where it will also be shown that they are in a one-to-one correspondence with certain square matrices whose only elements are 0 and 1. These corresponding matrices have been used as a mathematical model by others. Both viewpoints are combined here to provide a systematic procedure for identifying the liaison persons in an organization.
