Scope
(4)
GraphCenter
works with undirected graphs:
Directed graphs:
Weighted graphs:
Works with large graphs:
Applications
(1)
People at a family gathering:
Use
Subsets
to create edges between all members of the family:
The resulting social graph:
Find the people who are most closely related to everybody at the gathering:
Properties & Relations
(7)
In a connected graph, the center can be found using
VertexEccentricity
:
For a
CompleteGraph
, every vertex is at the center:
For a
PathGraph
with positive weights, there is either one center vertex or two center vertices:
For a
CycleGraph
, all vertices are in the center:
For a
WheelGraph
of size 5 or more, the hub is the graph center:
For a
GridGraph
, the center forms a grid with all dimensions being one or two:
For a
CompleteKaryTree
, the root vertex is the center:
