Algebraic connectivity of a finite simple graph #
algConn G is the algebraic connectivity of a finite simple graph G: the
second-smallest eigenvalue of its Laplacian matrix L(G) = D(G) - A(G).
Matrix.IsHermitian.eigenvalues₀ lists the eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix in
antitone (descending) order, so the smallest eigenvalue (always 0 for a graph
Laplacian) sits at index card V - 1, and the second-smallest — the algebraic
connectivity λ₂ — at index card V - 2.
