density -- computes the density of a graph

Synopsis

Usage:

d = density G
Inputs:
- G, an instance of the type Graph,
Outputs:
- d, a rational number, the density of G

Description

A dense graph has a high edge to vertex ratio, whereas a sparse graph has a low edge to vertex ratio. Density is equal to 2*|E| divided by |V|*(|V|-1). A complete graph has density 1; the minimal density of any graph is 0.

i1 : G = graph({{1,2},{2,3},{3,4},{4,2},{1,4}},EntryMode=>"edges");
