Add and Remove Edge in Adjacency Matrix representation of a Graph

Last Updated : 30 Jun, 2021

Prerequisites: Graph and its representations
Given an adjacency matrix g[][] of a graph consisting of N vertices, the task is to modify the matrix after insertion of all edges[] and removal of edge between vertices (X, Y). In an adjacency matrix, if an edge exists between vertices i and j of the graph, then g[i][j] = 1 and g[j][i] = 1. If no edge exists between these two vertices, then g[i][j] = 0 and g[j][i] = 0.

Examples:

Input: N = 6, Edges[] = {{0, 1}, {0, 2}, {0, 3}, {0, 4}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {2, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 5}}, X = 2, Y = 3
Output:
Adjacency matrix after edge insertion:
0 1 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 0 0
1 0 0 1 1 1
1 1 1 0 0 1
1 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0
Adjacency matrix after edge removal:
0 1 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 0 0
1 0 0 0 1 1
1 1 0 0 0 1
1 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0
Explanation:
The graph and the corresponding adjacency matrix after insertion of edges:

The graph after removal and adjacency matrix after removal of edge between vertex X and Y:

Input: N = 6, Edges[] = {{0, 1}, {0, 2}, {0, 3}, {0, 4}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {2, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 5}}, X = 3, Y = 5
Output:
Adjacency matrix after edge insertion:
0 1 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 0 0
1 0 0 1 1 1
1 1 1 0 0 1
1 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0
Adjacency matrix after edge removal:
0 1 1 1 1 0
1 0 0 1 0 0
1 0 0 1 1 1
1 1 1 0 0 0
1 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0 0

Approach:
Initialize a matrix of dimensions N x N and follow the steps below:

Inserting an edge: To insert an edge between two vertices suppose i and j, set the corresponding values in the adjacency matrix equal to 1, i.e. g[i][j]=1 and g[j][i]=1 if both the vertices i and j exists.
Removing an edge: To remove an edge between two vertices suppose i and j, set the corresponding values in the adjacency matrix equal to 0. That is, set g[i][j]=0 and g[j][i]=0 if both the vertices i and j exists.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to add and remove edge
// in the adjacency matrix of a graph
 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
class Graph {
private:
    // Number of vertices
    int n;
 
    // Adjacency matrix
    int g[10][10];
 
public:
    // Constructor
    Graph(int x)
    {
        n = x;
 
        // Initializing each element of the
        // adjacency matrix to zero
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
                g[i][j] = 0;
            }
        }
    }
 
    // Function to display adjacency matrix
    void displayAdjacencyMatrix()
    {
        // Displaying the 2D matrix
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            cout << "\n";
            for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
                cout << " " << g[i][j];
            }
        }
    }
 
    // Function to update adjacency
    // matrix for edge insertion
    void addEdge(int x, int y)
    {
        // Checks if the vertices
        // exist in the graph
        if ((x < 0) || (x >= n)) {
            cout << "Vertex" << x
                 << " does not exist!";
        }
        if ((y < 0) || (y >= n)) {
            cout << "Vertex" << y
                 << " does not exist!";
        }
 
        // Checks if it is a self edge
        if (x == y) {
            cout << "Same Vertex!";
        }
 
        else {
            // Insert edge
            g[y][x] = 1;
            g[x][y] = 1;
        }
    }
 
    // Function to update adjacency
    // matrix for edge removal
    void removeEdge(int x, int y)
    {
        // Checks if the vertices
        // exist in the graph
        if ((x < 0) || (x >= n)) {
            cout << "Vertex" << x
                 << " does not exist!";
        }
        if ((y < 0) || (y >= n)) {
            cout << "Vertex" << y
                 << " does not exist!";
        }
 
        // Checks if it is a self edge
        if (x == y) {
            cout << "Same Vertex!";
        }
 
        else {
            // Remove edge
            g[y][x] = 0;
            g[x][y] = 0;
        }
    }
};
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 6, X = 2, Y = 3;
 
    Graph obj(N);
 
    // Adding edges to the graph
    obj.addEdge(0, 1);
    obj.addEdge(0, 2);
    obj.addEdge(0, 3);
    obj.addEdge(0, 4);
    obj.addEdge(1, 3);
    obj.addEdge(2, 3);
    obj.addEdge(2, 4);
    obj.addEdge(2, 5);
    obj.addEdge(3, 5);
 
    cout << "Adjacency matrix after"
         << " edge insertions:\n";
    obj.displayAdjacencyMatrix();
 
    obj.removeEdge(X, Y);
 
    cout << "\nAdjacency matrix after"
         << " edge removal:\n";
    obj.displayAdjacencyMatrix();
 
    return 0;
}
