Degree matrix

In the mathematical field of graph theory the degree matrix is a diagonal matrix which contains information about the degree of each vertex.

Definition

Given a graph G = (V,E) with \|V\|=n the degree matrix D for G is a n \times n square matrix defined as

d_{i,j}:=\left\{ \begin{matrix}  \deg(v_i) & \mbox{if}\ i = j \\ 0 & \mbox{otherwise} \end{matrix} \right.
