def _extrema_bounding(G, compute="diameter", weight=None):
    """Compute requested extreme distance metric of undirected graph G

    Computation is based on smart lower and upper bounds, and in practice
    linear in the number of nodes, rather than quadratic (except for some
    border cases such as complete graphs or circle shaped graphs).

    Parameters
    ----------
    G : NetworkX graph
       An undirected graph

    compute : string denoting the requesting metric
       "diameter" for the maximal eccentricity value,
       "radius" for the minimal eccentricity value,
       "periphery" for the set of nodes with eccentricity equal to the diameter,
       "center" for the set of nodes with eccentricity equal to the radius,
       "eccentricities" for the maximum distance from each node to all other nodes in G

    weight : string, function, or None
        If this is a string, then edge weights will be accessed via the
        edge attribute with this key (that is, the weight of the edge
        joining `u` to `v` will be ``G.edges[u, v][weight]``). If no
        such edge attribute exists, the weight of the edge is assumed to
        be one.

        If this is a function, the weight of an edge is the value
        returned by the function. The function must accept exactly three
        positional arguments: the two endpoints of an edge and the
        dictionary of edge attributes for that edge. The function must
        return a number.

        If this is None, every edge has weight/distance/cost 1.

        Weights stored as floating point values can lead to small round-off
        errors in distances. Use integer weights to avoid this.

        Weights should be positive, since they are distances.

    Returns
    -------
    value : value of the requested metric
       int for "diameter" and "radius" or
       list of nodes for "center" and "periphery" or
       dictionary of eccentricity values keyed by node for "eccentricities"

    Raises
    ------
    NetworkXError
        If the graph consists of multiple components
    ValueError
        If `compute` is not one of "diameter", "radius", "periphery", "center", or "eccentricities".

Graphs that are not strongly connected have infinite diameter and mean distance, making such measures not useful. Restricting the diameter or mean distance to finite distances yields paradoxical values (e.g., a perfect match would have diameter one). The harmonic mean handles gracefully infinite distances (e.g., a perfect match has harmonic diameter equal to the number of vertices minus one), making it possible to assign a meaningful value to all graphs. Note that in [1] the harmonic diameter is called "connectivity length": however, "harmonic diameter" is a more standard name from the theory of metric spaces.

Also known as the Kirchhoff index. The effective graph resistance is defined as the sum of the resistance distance of every node pair in G [1]_. If weight is not provided, then a weight of 1 is used for all edges. The effective graph resistance of a disconnected graph is infinite. Parameters ---------- G : NetworkX graph A graph weight : string or None, optional (default=None) The edge data key used to compute the effective graph resistance. If None, then each edge has weight 1. invert_weight : boolean (default=True) Proper calculation of resistance distance requires building the Laplacian matrix with the reciprocal of the weight. Not required if the weight is already inverted. Weight cannot be zero. Returns ------- RG : float The effective graph resistance of `G`. Raises ------ NetworkXNotImplemented If `G` is a directed graph. NetworkXError If `G` does not contain any nodes.

The *Kemeny constant* (or Kemeny's constant) of a graph `G` can be computed by regarding the graph as a Markov chain. The Kemeny constant is then the expected number of time steps to transition from a starting state i to a random destination state sampled from the Markov chain's stationary distribution. The Kemeny constant is independent of the chosen initial state [1]_. The Kemeny constant measures the time needed for spreading across a graph. Low values indicate a closely connected graph whereas high values indicate a spread-out graph. If weight is not provided, then a weight of 1 is used for all edges. Since `G` represents a Markov chain, the weights must be positive. Parameters ---------- G : NetworkX graph weight : string or None, optional (default=None) The edge data key used to compute the Kemeny constant. If None, then each edge has weight 1. Returns ------- float The Kemeny constant of the graph `G`. Raises ------ NetworkXNotImplemented If the graph `G` is directed. NetworkXError If the graph `G` is not connected, or contains no nodes, or has edges with negative weights. Examples -------- >>> G = nx.complete_graph(5) >>> round(nx.kemeny_constant(G), 10) 3.2 Notes ----- The implementation is based on equation (3.3) in [2]_.
