vertexMultiplication

Synopsis

Description

Multiplying the vertex of a graph adds one vertex to the original graph. It also adds several edges, namely, if we are multiplying a vertex v and calling the new vertex u, {u,W} is an edge if and only if {v,w} is an edge.

i1 : G = completeGraph 5

o1 = Graph{0 => {1, 2, 3, 4}}
           1 => {0, 2, 3, 4}
           2 => {0, 1, 3, 4}
           3 => {0, 1, 2, 4}
           4 => {0, 1, 2, 3}

o1 : Graph
i2 : H = vertexMultiplication(G, 0, 6)

o2 = Graph{0 => {1, 2, 3, 4}   }
           1 => {0, 2, 3, 4, 6}
           2 => {0, 1, 3, 4, 6}
           3 => {0, 1, 2, 4, 6}
           4 => {0, 1, 2, 3, 6}
           6 => {1, 2, 3, 4}
