I am trying to figure out the least number of directed edges that would be bi-directional after constructing a graph with 2k-1$2k-1$ nodes that are each k$k$ in-degree. For example, 2(2)-1=3$2(2)-1=3$ nodes that are 2$2$ in-degrees would force the graph to have 3$3$ symmetric edges.
Thank you in advance!
