How to remove vertices from a graph?












2














I have 2 lists: list 1 is a list of vertices of a graph, says, {1,2,3,4,5} and list 2 keeps track of edges (i.e which vertex connects to which) such as {{1,2}, {2,3},{3,4},{4,1},{2,5}}. Now I want to remove some vertices in list 1 and I want that any edges in list 2 that have an end same as one of the removed vertices will also be removed. What would be the best way to do this in Mathematica? (I can do this easily in other languages like vb.net, but I still am trying to get my head on Mathematica)

          These are done easily with graph functions:



          g = Graph[Range[5], {1 <-> 2, 2 <-> 3, 3 <-> 4, 4 <-> 1, 2 <-> 5}];


          enter image description here



          g2 = VertexDelete[g, 1];


          enter image description here



          EdgeList[g2]


          (*



          {2 <-> 3, 3 <-> 4, 2 <-> 5}



          *)



          Of course this works as well if you want to delete more than one vertex, e.g., vertices 1 and 5:



          g2 = VertexDelete[g, {1, 5}];

            A few more alternatives:



            Select[edges, FreeQ[1]]
            
Pick[edges, FreeQ[1] /@ edges]
            
DeleteCases[edges, {_, 1} | {1, _}]

            • Your first three suggestions only work for removing a single vertex.

              @geordie, if you want to remove a list of vertices, say {1,2}, you can use 1|2 instead of 1.

            The following works for removing several vertices and corresponding edges:



            verts = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
            
edges = {{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {3, 4}, {4, 1}, {2, 5}};
            

            
vertdel = {1, 4}
            
verts2 = Complement[verts, vertdel]
            
edges2 = Complement[edges, Flatten[Select[edges, MemberQ[#]] & /@ vertdel, 1]]



            {1, 4}



            {2, 3, 5}



            {{2, 3}, {2, 5}}

                        • Your first three suggestions only work for removing a single vertex.
