pub fn even_odd_walk_ratio(graph: &Graph) -> IgraphResult<f64>Expand description
Compute the even-odd walk ratio.
Ratio of even-length walks of length 2 to odd-length walks of
length 1 (edges). A walk of length 2 from u to w passes through
some intermediate v — the total count is Σ_v d(v)² (counting
ordered pairs of neighbors). The odd-length count is 2m (each
edge contributes 2 directed walks of length 1).
Returns (Σ d²) / (2m) — for bipartite graphs this relates to
the ratio of even vs odd spectral moments. Returns 0.0 for graphs
with no edges.
§Examples
use rust_igraph::{Graph, even_odd_walk_ratio};
// Path 0-1-2: degrees [1,2,1], Σd²=1+4+1=6, 2m=4 → 6/4=1.5
let g = Graph::from_edges(&[(0,1),(1,2)], false, Some(3)).unwrap();
assert!((even_odd_walk_ratio(&g).unwrap() - 1.5).abs() < 1e-10);
