VertexDegree

VertexDegree[g]

gives the list of vertex degrees for all vertices in the graph g.

VertexDegree[g,v]

gives the vertex degree for the vertex v.

VertexDegree[{vw,},]

uses rules vw to specify the graph g.

Details

  • VertexDegree is also known as valence.
  • The vertex degree for a vertex v is the number of edges incident to v.
  • For a directed graph g, an edge is incident to a vertex whether it is an in-edge or an out-edge.

Properties & Relations  (15)

The degree of a vertex of an undirected graph is the number of edges incident to the vertex:

Self-loops are counted twice:

For an undirected graph, the vertex in-degree and out-degree are equal to the vertex degree:

For a directed graph, the sum of the vertex in-degree and out-degree is the vertex degree:

Put the vertex degree, in-degree, and out-degree before, above, and below the vertex, respectively:

The sum of the degrees of all vertices of a graph is twice the number of edges:

Every graph has an even number of vertices with odd degree:

Connected simple graphs have minimum vertex degree of at least :

A graph with minimum vertex degree at least 2 contains a cycle:

The vertex degrees of an undirected graph can be obtained from its adjacency matrix:

The vertex degrees of a directed graph can be obtained from its adjacency matrix:

The vertex degrees for an undirected graph can be obtained from the incidence matrix:

The vertex degrees for a directed graph can be obtained from the incidence matrix:

Each vertex of a -regular graph has the same vertex degree :

All vertices of a simple graph have maximum degree less than the number of vertices:

A simple graph without isolated vertices has at least one pair of vertices with equal degrees:

A connected undirected graph is Eulerian iff every vertex has an even degree:
