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:
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:
