SimpleGraph
SimpleGraph[g]
gives the underlying simple graph from the graph g.
SimpleGraph[{vw,…}]
uses rules vw to specify the graph g.
Details and Options
- SimpleGraph is also known as strict graph.
- SimpleGraph[g] removes all self-loops and multiple edges between the same vertices.
- SimpleGraph preserves directed edges as directed. UndirectedGraph can be used to compute the underlying undirected graph.
- SimpleGraph works with undirected graphs, directed graphs, multigraphs, and mixed graphs.

Properties & Relations (7)
A graph with self-loops is not simple:
A PathGraph is always simple:
A TreeGraph without multiple edges is simple:
The adjacency matrix of a simple graph has entries not greater than 1:
Diagonal elements are all zeros:
The incidence matrix of a simple graph has entries -1, 0, or 1 and no repeated column:
All vertices of a simple graph have a maximum degree less than the number of vertices:
A nontrivial simple graph must have at least one pair of vertices with the same degree:
