diameter


The diameter of a connected graphMathworldPlanetmath (or multigraphMathworldPlanetmath or pseudographMathworldPlanetmath) is the largest distance that occurs in it.

Here distance, between two nodes (vertices), refers to the length of the shortest path between them.

In disconnected graphs the diameter is undefined (sometimes it is said to be infinite).
