adjacency_matrix: Find the Adjacency Matrix of a Hypergraph

In rhype: Work with Hypergraphs in R

Find the Adjacency Matrix of a Hypergraph

Description

An adjacency matrix is a square matrix with both rows and columns being indexed by vertices. For each entry, the number is proportional to the strength of the connection going from the vertex represented as the row and the vertex represented by the column. For undirected hypergraphs, this matrix is symmetric but this is usually not the case for directed.

Usage

adjacency_matrix(hype, normalise = TRUE, self_adj = TRUE, as_matrix = FALSE)

Arguments

hype	A hypergraph object
normalise	Whether the matrix should be normalised to either 1 or 0
self_adj	Whether self adjacency should be represented
as_matrix	Whether the output should be coerced into a simple matrix

Details

Great care should be taken when using a hypergraph with mixed positive and negative real coefficients as there is a chance no adjacency will be registered for two adjacenct vertices. rhype does not check for these cases and they must be checked for by the user.

Value

A matrix of adjacencies between vertices of a hypergraph.

Examples

h1 <- example_hype()
adjacency_matrix(h1)

h2 <- example_hype(oriented = TRUE, directed = TRUE)
adjacency_matrix(h2)
