(G, nodelist=None, weight='weight', walk_type=None, alpha=0.95)[source]¶ Returns the directed Laplacian matrix of G.
The graph directed Laplacian is the matrix
\[L = I - (\Phi^{1/2} P \Phi^{-1/2} + \Phi^{-1/2} P^T \Phi^{1/2} ) / 2\]where
I
is the identity matrix,P
is the transition matrix of the graph, andPhi
a matrix with the Perron vector ofP
in the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.Depending on the value of walk_type,
P
can be the transition matrix induced by a random walk, a lazy random walk, or a random walk with teleportation (PageRank).- Parameters
G (DiGraph) – A NetworkX graph
nodelist (list, optional) – The rows and columns are ordered according to the nodes in nodelist. If nodelist is None, then the ordering is produced by G.nodes().
weight (string or None, optional (default=’weight’)) – The edge data key used to compute each value in the matrix. If None, then each edge has weight 1.
walk_type (string or None, optional (default=None)) – If None,
P
is selected depending on the properties of the graph. Otherwise is one of ‘random’, ‘lazy’, or ‘pagerank’alpha (real) – (1 - alpha) is the teleportation probability used with pagerank
- Returns
L – Normalized Laplacian of G.
- Return type
NumPy matrix
