public interface Hypergraph<V,E>
```
A hypergraph, consisting of a set of vertices of type V and a set of hyperedges of type E which connect the vertices. This is the base interface for all JUNG graph types. This interface permits, but does not enforce, any of the following common variations of graphs:
- hyperedges (edges which connect a set of vertices of any size)
- edges (these have have exactly two endpoints, which may or may not be distinct)
- self-loops (edges which connect exactly one vertex)
- directed and undirected edges
- vertices and edges with attributes (for example, weighted edges)
- vertices and edges with different constraints or properties (for example, bipartite or multimodal graphs)
- parallel edges (multiple edges which connect a single set of vertices)
- internal representations as matrices or as adjacency lists or adjacency maps
Extensions or implementations of this interface may enforce or disallow any or all of these variations. Notes:
- The collections returned by Hypergraph instances should be treated in general as if read-only. While they are not contractually guaranteed (or required) to be immutable, this interface does not define the outcome if they are mutated. Mutations should be done via {add,remove}{Edge,Vertex}, or in the constructor

  - getEdgesView
```
java.util.Collection<E> getEdgesView()

    a Collection view of all edges in this graph
  - getVerticesView
```
java.util.Collection<V> getVerticesView()

    a Collection view of all vertices in this graph
  - containsVertex
```
boolean containsVertex(V vertex)

    Parameters:
    
    vertex - the vertex whose presence is being queried
    
    Returns:
    
    true iff this graph contains a vertex vertex

    the number of vertices in this graph
  - getNeighbors
```
java.util.Collection<V> getNeighbors(V vertex)
```
    Returns the collection of vertices which are connected to vertex via any edges in this graph. If vertex is connected to itself with a self-loop, then it will be included in the collection returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    vertex - the vertex whose neighbors are to be returned
    
    Returns:
    
    the collection of vertices which are connected to vertex, or null if vertex is not present

  - getIncidentVertices
```
java.util.Collection<V> getIncidentVertices(E edge)
```
    Returns the collection of vertices in this graph which are connected to edge. Note that for some graph types there are guarantees about the size of this collection (i.e., some graphs contain edges that have exactly two endpoints, which may or may not be distinct). Implementations for those graph types may provide alternate methods that provide more convenient access to the vertices.
    
    Parameters:
    
    edge - the edge whose incident vertices are to be returned
    
    Returns:
    
    the collection of vertices which are connected to edge, or null if edge is not present
  - findEdge
```
E findEdge(V v1,
           V v2)
```
    Returns an edge that connects this vertex to v. If this edge is not uniquely defined (that is, if the graph contains more than one edge connecting v1 to v2), any of these edges may be returned. findEdgeSet(v1, v2) may be used to return all such edges. Returns null if either of the following is true:
    - v2 is not connected to v1
    - either v1 or v2 are not present in this graph
    Note: for purposes of this method, v1 is only considered to be connected to v2 via a given directed edge e if v1 == e.getSource() && v2 == e.getDest() evaluates to true. (v1 and v2 are connected by an undirected edge u if u is incident to both v1 and v2.)
    Parameters:
    
    v1 - the first vertex
    
    v2 - the second vertex
    
    Returns:
    
    an edge that connects v1 to v2, or null if no such edge exists (or either vertex is not present)
    
    See Also:
    
    findEdgeSet(Object, Object)
  - findEdgeSet
```
java.util.Collection<E> findEdgeSet(V v1,
                                    V v2)
```
    Returns all edges that connects this vertex to v. If this edge is not uniquely defined (that is, if the graph contains more than one edge connecting v1 to v2), any of these edges may be returned. findEdgeSet(v1, v2) may be used to return all such edges. Returns null if v2 is not connected to v1. Returns an empty collection if either v1 or v2 are not present in this graph. Note: for purposes of this method, v1 is only considered to be connected to v2 via a given directed edge d if v1 == d.getSource() && v2 == d.getDest() evaluates to true. (v1 and v2 are connected by an undirected edge u if u is incident to both v1 and v2.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    v1 - the first vertex
    
    v2 - the second vertex
    
    Returns:

    Adds edge to this graph. Fails under the following circumstances:
    - edge is already an element of the graph
    - either edge or vertices is null
    - vertices has the wrong number of vertices for the graph type

    Returns:
    
    true if the add is successful, and false otherwise

  - addEdgeWithVertices
```
boolean addEdgeWithVertices(E edge,
                            java.util.Collection<? extends V> vertices,

  - removeVertex
```
boolean removeVertex(V vertex)
```
    Removes vertex from this graph. As a side effect, removes any edges e incident to vertex if the removal of vertex would cause e to be incident to an illegal number of vertices. (Thus, for example, incident hyperedges are not removed, but incident edges--which must be connected to a vertex at both endpoints--are removed.) Fails under the following circumstances:
    - vertex is not an element of this graph
    - vertex is null
    Parameters:
    
    vertex - the vertex to remove
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the removal is successful, false otherwise
  - removeEdge
```
boolean removeEdge(E edge)
```
    Removes edge from this graph. Fails if edge is null, or is otherwise not an element of this graph.
    
    Parameters:
    
    edge - the edge to remove

    Parameters:
    
    v1 - the first vertex to test

    Parameters:
    
    vertex - the vertex
    
    edge - the edge
    
    Returns:
    
    true if vertex and edge are incident to each other
  - degree
```
int degree(V vertex)
```
    Returns the number of edges incident to vertex. Special cases of interest:
    - Incident self-loops are counted once.
    - If there is only one edge that connects this vertex to each of its neighbors (and vice versa), then the value returned will also be equal to the number of neighbors that this vertex has (that is, the output of getNeighborCount)
    - If the graph is directed, then the value returned will be the sum of this vertex's indegree (the number of edges whose destination is this vertex) and its outdegree (the number of edges whose source is this vertex), minus the number of incident self-loops (to avoid double-counting).
    Equivalent to getIncidentEdges(vertex).size().
    Parameters:
    
    vertex - the vertex whose degree is to be returned
    
    Returns:
    
    the degree of this node

int getNeighborCount(V vertex)
```
    Returns the number of vertices that are adjacent to vertex (that is, the number of vertices that are incident to edges in vertex's incident edge set). Equivalent to getNeighbors(vertex).size().
    
    Parameters:
    
    vertex - the vertex whose neighbor count is to be returned
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of neighboring vertices
  - getIncidentCount
```
int getIncidentCount(E edge)
```
    Returns the number of vertices that are incident to edge. For hyperedges, this can be any nonnegative integer; for edges this must be 2 (or 1 if self-loops are permitted). Equivalent to getIncidentVertices(edge).size().
    
    Parameters:
    
    edge - the edge whose incident vertex count is to be returned

    the number of vertices that are incident to edge.
