Is a degree sequence graphical?

Description

Determine whether the given vertex degrees (in- and out-degrees for directed graphs) can be realized in a simple graph, i.e. a graph without multiple or loop edges.

Usage

is_graphical(out.deg, in.deg = NULL)

Arguments

out.deg	Integer vector, the degree sequence for undirected graphs, or the out-degree sequence for directed graphs.
in.deg	NULL or an integer vector. For undirected graphs, it should be NULL. For directed graphs it specifies the in-degrees.

Value

A logical scalar.
