estrada_index#
- estrada_index(G)[source]#
Returns the Estrada index of a the graph G.
The Estrada Index is a topological index of folding or 3D “compactness” ([1]).
- Parameters
- G: graph
- Returns
- estrada index: float
- Raises
- NetworkXError
If the graph is not undirected and simple.
Notes
Let
G=(V,E)
be a simple undirected graph withn
nodes and letlambda_{1}leqlambda_{2}leqcdotslambda_{n}
be a non-increasing ordering of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrixA
. The Estrada index is ([1], [2])\[EE(G)=\sum_{j=1}^n e^{\lambda _j}.\]References
