VertexDegree

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

VertexDegree

gives the vertex degree for the vertex v.

MORE INFORMATION

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:
