Graph metric

This module defines the SimpleGraph.edist function, which takes pairs of vertices to the length of the shortest walk between them, or ⊤ if they are disconnected. It also defines SimpleGraph.dist which is the ℕ-valued version of SimpleGraph.edist.

Main definitions

• SimpleGraph.edist is the graph extended metric.
• SimpleGraph.dist is the graph metric.

TODO

• Provide an additional computable version of SimpleGraph.dist for when G is connected.

• When directed graphs exist, a directed notion of distance, likely ENat-valued.

noncomputable def SimpleGraph.edist {V : Type u_1} (G : SimpleGraph V) (u v : V) : ℕ∞

noncomputable def SimpleGraph.dist {V : Type u_1} (G : SimpleGraph V) (u v : V) : ℕ
