VertexOutDegree
gives the list of vertex out-degrees for all vertices in the graph g.
VertexOutDegree[g,v]
gives the vertex out-degree for the vertex v.
VertexOutDegree[{vw,…},…]
uses rules vw to specify the graph g.
Details
- The vertex out-degree for a vertex v is the number of outgoing directed edges from v.
- For an undirected graph g, an edge is taken to be both an in-edge and an out-edge. »

VertexOutDegree works with directed graphs:
Vertex out-degree for a vertex:
Use rules to specify the graph:
VertexOutDegree works with large graphs:
Applications (4)
Highlight the vertex by its vertex out-degree for CycleGraph:
Show the out-degree histogram for BernoulliGraphDistribution[n,p]:
The out-degree distribution follows BinomialDistribution[n-1,p]:
A PriceGraphDistribution is constructed, adding new vertices with a constant number of edges:
In this case, three edges from each new vertex (except initially) are added:
Create a food chain where an edge indicates what animals and insects eat:
The out-degree corresponds to the number of predators for the species:
Animals with zero out-degree are called top species or apex predators:
Properties & Relations (7)
The out-degree of an undirected graph is the number of edges incident to each vertex:
Undirected graphs correspond to directed graphs with each edge both an in- and out-edge:
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 out-degrees of all vertices of an undirected graph is twice the number of edges:
The sum of the out-degrees of all vertices of a directed graph is equal to the number of edges:
A connected directed graph is Eulerian iff every vertex has equal in-degree and out-degree:
