After some examination, igraph's calculations for density of a graph with 
self-loops is counter to what I expected.  Here is what I expected (in R) 
assuming an undirected, unweighted graph G with adjacency matrix 'A' (of R 
class 'matrix'):

( sum(A[upper.tri(A)]) + sum(diag(A)) )/((n*(n-1)/2) + n)

However, igraph's graph.density(G,loops=T) calculates:

( sum(A[upper.tri(A)]) + sum(diag(A)) )/((n*(n-1)/2) + n/2)

Would someone point me to some literature that states the self-loop part of the 
divisor in an undirected graph should be halved?  Or is igraph's calculation 
incorrect?

Thanks.

Jay
