Calling Sequence

RelativeNeighborhoodGraph( P, opts )

Parameters

P

-

Matrix or list of lists representing set of points

opts

-

(optional) one or more options as specified below

Options

• 

triangulation = list of three-element lists.

  

Supply a previously computed Delaunay triangulation of P. The input must be a valid Delaunay triangulation in the format returned by ComputationalGeometry[DelaunayTriangulation]: a list of three-element lists of integers, representing triangles in a triangulation of P.

• 

vertices = list of integers, strings or symbols

  

Specifies the vertices to be used in the generated graph.

• 

weighted = truefalse

  

If weighted=true, the result is a weighted graph whose edge weights correspond to the Euclidean distance between points. The default is false.

Description

• 

The RelativeNeighborhoodGraph(P,opts) command returns a relative neighbor graph for the point set P.

• 

The parameter P must be a Matrix or list of lists representing a set of points.

Definition

• 

Let P be a set of points in n dimensions, let p and q be arbitrary points from P, and let distp,q be the Euclidean distance between p and q.

• 

The relative neighborhood graph is the undirected graph whose vertices correspond to the points in P and in which vertices p and q share an edge if there does not exist any rP such that distp&comma;r<distp&comma;q and distq&comma;r<distp&comma;q.

• 

It has the following relationships with other graphs:

  

The Euclidean minimum spanning tree on P is a subgraph of the relative neighborhood graph on P.

  

The relative neighborhood graph on P is a subgraph of the Gabriel graph on P.

Examples

Generate a set of random two-dimensional points.
