Properties & Relations  (5)

GraphLinkEfficiency is related to MeanGraphDistance:

The GraphLinkEfficiency is always less than 1:

The GraphLinkEfficiency of a complete graph is close to 1:

Test if a graph is complete using CompleteGraphQ:

The GraphLinkEfficiency of a path graph of length 1 is 0:

The GraphLinkEfficiency of a disconnected graph is -∞:

Use ConnectedGraphQ to test for connected graphs:
