Graph Join Isolated Node Degree Shift Tool

Degree shift when joining a supplied simple graph to an independent group of isolated vertices.

Loading tool…

Description

Invoke the linked join increment calculator for both original and added vertices.

A graph's degree records how many edge incidences meet a vertex. Directed edges distinguish incoming and outgoing incidences, while loops and parallel edges require explicit counting conventions; a local degree formula does not reconstruct a graph.

Invoke the linked join increment calculator for both original and added vertices.

When to use this tool

Use Graph Join Isolated Node Degree Shift when you need a degree or incidence calculation under the stated graph convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter originalDegree, originalOrder, isolatedGroupSize. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read originalVertexDegree, addedVertexDegree. Use the output convention below.

Require positive originalOrder and isolatedGroupSize and originalDegree within a simple original graph's range. Invoke the linked join increment calculator for both original and added vertices.1

The linked join-degree operation is called for both the original vertex and an added isolated vertex, using the opposite group size as its increment.2

Limitations and assumptions

  • Added vertices are assumed mutually isolated before joining and each connects to every original vertex; actual disjoint graphs, degrees, and edges are not inspected.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Build an adjacency structure and count actual incidences when a full graph is available. Validate loop, multiplicity, direction, and vertex-set assumptions before applying a simple-graph identity.
