hey malik! Are you able to create a hypergraph in MATLAB ? Coz I'm also looking for it. as you asked the question on 2016 I guess you might found it that it's possible or not. Please let me know. thanks .

Hi @s malik,

As per my knowledge, currently there is no direct way to create hypergraphs in MATLAB. However, you can represent a hypergraph as a simple or a multi graph or use external tools to achieve this.

You can refer to this MATLAB Answer for an example of representing a hypergraph as a simple graph: https://www.mathworks.com/support/search.html/answers/1987633-how-to-find-neighbors-degree-of-hyperedges-of-a-uniform-hypergraph.html

For a more direct way to create hypergraphs, you can use these file exchange tools:

• https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/27451-hypergraph-edge-vertex-matrix
• https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/121013-hat-hypergraph-analysis-toolbox

I hope this helps!
