networks
diameter
compute the diameter of a graph or network
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
diameter(G)
G
-
graph or network
Important: The networks package has been deprecated. Use the superseding command GraphTheory[Diameter] instead.
This routine uses allpairs() to compute the minimum distance between any two vertices.
The result is returned as a number indicating the diameter, or infinity if the graph is disconnected.
Edge weights are assumed to be lengths or distances. Thus edge weights must be non-negative.
Undirected edges are assumed to be bidirectional.
This routine is normally loaded via the command with(networks) but may also be referenced using the full name networks[diameter](...).
