Graph Laplacian

Graph Laplacian, (aka Laplace Matrix, Admittance Matrix, Kirchhoff Matrix, Discrete Laplacian, Laplace-Beltrami operator), is simply a matrix representation of a graph.

Laplacian Matrix can be computed as:

$L=D-A$

Where $L$ is Laplacian Matrix, $D$ is Degree Matrix and $A$ is Adjacency matrix.
