edgetypes
Edgetypes refer to the various classifications of edges in graph theory, which is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between objects. In a graph, an edge is a connection between two nodes (or vertices). Edgetypes are used to categorize these edges based on their properties and the roles they play within the graph. The most common edgetypes include:
Undirected edges: These are the simplest type of edge, where the connection between two nodes does not
Directed edges: Also known as arcs, directed edges have a direction, indicating a one-way relationship between
Weighted edges: In a weighted graph, each edge has an associated numerical value, known as a weight.
Self-loops: A self-loop is an edge that connects a node to itself. These are sometimes used to
Parallel edges: Also known as multiple edges, parallel edges are two or more edges that connect the
Multigraphs: A multigraph is a graph that allows multiple edges (including self-loops) between the same pair
Edgetypes are an essential concept in graph theory, as they help to define the structure and properties
