EdgeDelete

EdgeDelete[g,e]

makes a graph by deleting the edge e from the graph g.

EdgeDelete[g,{e1,e2,…}]

deletes a collection of edges from g.

EdgeDelete[g,patt]

deletes all edges that match the pattern patt.

EdgeDelete[{vw,…},…]

uses rules vw to specify the graph g.

Details and Options

  • EdgeDelete is also known as edge removal or edge deletion.
  • EdgeDelete[g,e] will delete the edge e only if it is present in g.
  • An undirected edge can be specified using vw or UndirectedEdge[v,w].
  • A directed edge can be specified using vw or DirectedEdge[v,w].
  • EdgeDelete works with undirected graphs, directed graphs, multigraphs and mixed graphs.
