Everything about Multiplicative graph

Type of partial category

In mathematics, a multiplicative graph is an algebraic structure in category theory. It is a generalization of an ordinary category in the sense that neither the associativity of arrow composition nor the composibility of a pair of connected arrows are assumed. While an ordinary category is a notion combining a directed graph and a monoidal structure, a multiplicative graph is a partial magma-like structure. Namely, it is a structure in one‑to‑one correspondence with the vertices of a directed graph, and each object has left and right identity morphisms, but composability is partial, and, moreover, associativity is not required.
