GraphIntersection

GraphIntersection[g1,g2]

gives the graph intersection of the graphs g1 and g2.

GraphIntersection[g1,g2,…]

gives the graph intersection of g1, g2, … .

GraphIntersection[{vw,…},…]

uses rules vw to specify the graph g.

Details and Options

  • The graph intersection Graph[v1,e1]⋂Graph[v2,e2] is given by Graph[v1⋃v2,e1⋂e2].
  • GraphIntersection works with undirected graphs, directed graphs, multigraphs, and mixed graphs.

Properties & Relations  (8)

The vertices of the graph intersection are the union of the vertices of the graphs:

The edges of the graph intersection are the intersection of the edges of the graphs:

The graph intersection of any graph and itself is isomorphic to the original graph:

The graph intersection of a graph and its subgraph has the same edges as its subgraph:

The intersection of any graph and its complement is an empty graph:

The intersection of two graphs with different names is an empty graph:

The GraphIntersection of two graphs has the same vertices as GraphUnion:

The GraphIntersection of two graphs has the same vertices as GraphDifference:
