number_of_isolates#

number_of_isolates(G)[source]#

Returns the number of isolates in the graph.

An isolate is a node with no neighbors (that is, with degree zero). For directed graphs, this means no in-neighbors and no out-neighbors.

Parameters:
GNetworkX graph
Returns:
int

The number of degree zero nodes in the graph G.


Additional backends implement this function

cugraph : GPU-accelerated backend.

graphblas : OpenMP-enabled sparse linear algebra backend.

parallelA networkx backend that uses joblib to run graph algorithms in parallel. Find the nx-parallel’s configuration guide here

The parallel computation is implemented by dividing the list of isolated nodes into chunks and then finding the length of each chunk in parallel and then adding all the lengths at the end.

Additional parameters:
get_chunksstr, function (default = “chunks”)

A function that takes in a list of all the isolated nodes as input and returns an iterable isolate_chunks. The default chunking is done by slicing the isolates into n_jobs number of chunks.
