eccentricity -- Returns the eccentricity of a vertex of a graph

Synopsis

Usage:

k = eccentricity (G, v)
Inputs:
- G, a graph, G must be a connected graph
- v, a thing, v needs to be a vertex of the graph
Outputs:
- k, an integer,

Description

The eccentricity of a vertex is the maximal distance between the given vertex and any other vertex in the graph. It gives a measure of how far away a vertex is from the rest of the graph.

i1 : eccentricity(pathGraph 5, 2)

o1 = 2

i2 : eccentricity(pathGraph 5, 1)

o2 = 3

i3 : eccentricity(pathGraph 5, 0)

o3 = 4
