laplacian: Laplacian matrix

Description

Get the Laplacian matrix of an observed graph. Both unnormalised and symmetric normalised Laplacian matrices are included.

Usage

laplacian(A, normalised = FALSE)

Arguments

A

input matrix -- adjacency matrix of an observed graph, of dimension n-nodes x n-nodes.

normalised

whether the Laplacian matrix is normalised or not.

Value

if normalised = F, an unnormalised Laplacian matrix is returned, i.e. $L = D - A$; if normalised = T, a symmetric normalised Laplacian matrix is returned, i.e. $L = D^{-1/2}(D - A)D^{-1/2}$. $D$ is the degree diagonal matrix, with diagonal entries $d_i = \sum_{j = 1}^nA_{ij}$.
