GraphPeriphery
works with undirected graphs:
Directed graphs:
Weighted graphs:
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 least related to everybody at the gathering:
Properties & Relations
(8)
In a connected graph, the periphery can be found using
VertexEccentricity
:
Undirected connected graphs have at least two vertices on the periphery:
For a
CompleteGraph
, the periphery includes all vertices:
For a
PathGraph
with positive weights, the periphery consists of the endpoints:
With non-negative weights, the periphery forms two paths ending at the respective endpoints:
For a
CycleGraph
, all vertices are at the periphery:
For a
WheelGraph
of size 5 or more, all vertices but the hub are at the periphery:
For a
GridGraph
, the periphery consists of the vertices at the corners:
For a
CompleteKaryTree
, the periphery consists of the leaves:
