Common graphs#

All graphs in Sage can be built through the graphs object. In order to build a complete graph on 15 elements, one can do:

sage: g = graphs.CompleteGraph(15)

To get a path with 4 vertices, and the house graph:

sage: p = graphs.PathGraph(4)
sage: h = graphs.HouseGraph()

More interestingly, one can get the list of all graphs that Sage knows how to build by typing graphs. in Sage and then hitting Tab.

Basic structures

Small Graphs

A small graph is just a single graph and has no parameter influencing the number of edges or vertices.

Families of graphs

A family of graph is an infinite set of graphs which can be indexed by fixed number of parameters, e.g. two integer parameters. (A method whose name starts with a small letter does not return a single graph object but a graph iterator or a list of graphs or …)

Graphs from classical geometries over finite fields

A number of classes of graphs related to geometries over finite fields and quadrics and Hermitean varieties there.

Chessboard Graphs

Intersection graphs

These graphs are generated by geometric representations. The objects of the representation correspond to the graph vertices and the intersections of objects yield the graph edges.

Random graphs

Graphs with a given degree sequence

Functions and methods#

class sage.graphs.graph_generators.GraphGenerators#

Bases: object

A class consisting of constructors for several common graphs, as well as orderly generation of isomorphism class representatives. See the module's help for a list of supported constructors.

A list of all graphs and graph structures (other than isomorphism class representatives) in this database is available via tab completion. Type “graphs.” and then hit the Tab key to see which graphs are available.

The docstrings include educational information about each named graph with the hopes that this class can be used as a reference.

For all the constructors in this class (except the octahedral, dodecahedral, random and empty graphs), the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm.

ORDERLY GENERATION:

graphs(vertices, property=lambda x: True, augment='edges', size=None)

This syntax accesses the generator of isomorphism class representatives. Iterates over distinct, exhaustive representatives.

Also: see the use of the nauty package for generating graphs at the nauty_geng() method.

INPUT:

  • vertices – a natural number or None to infinitely generate bigger and bigger graphs.

  • property – (default: lambda x: True) any property to be tested on graphs before generation, but note that in general the graphs produced are not the same as those produced by using the property function to filter a list of graphs produced by using the lambda x: True default. The generation process assumes the property has certain characteristics set by the augment argument, and only in the case of inherited properties such that all subgraphs of the relevant kind (for augment='edges' or augment='vertices') of a graph with the property also possess the property will there be no missing graphs. (The property argument is ignored if degree_sequence is specified.)

  • augment – (default: 'edges') possible values:

    • 'edges' – augments a fixed number of vertices by adding one edge. In this case, all graphs on exactly n=vertices are generated. If for any graph G satisfying the property, every subgraph, obtained from G by deleting one edge but not the vertices incident to that edge, satisfies the property, then this will generate all graphs with that property. If this does not hold, then all the graphs generated will satisfy the property, but there will be some missing.

    • 'vertices' – augments by adding a vertex and edges incident to that vertex. In this case, all graphs up to n=vertices are generated. If for any graph G satisfying the property, every subgraph, obtained from G by deleting one vertex and only edges incident to that vertex, satisfies the property, then this will generate all graphs with that property. If this does not hold, then all the graphs generated will satisfy the property, but there will be some missing.

  • size – (default: None) the size of the graph to be generated.

  • degree_sequence – (default: None) a sequence of non-negative integers, or None. If specified, the generated graphs will have these integers for degrees. In this case, property and size are both ignored.

  • loops – (default: False) whether to allow loops in the graph or not.

  • sparse – (default: True); whether to use a sparse or dense data structure. See the documentation of Graph.

  • copy (boolean) – If set to True (default) this method makes copies of the graphs before returning them. If set to False the method returns the graph it is working on. The second alternative is faster, but modifying any of the graph instances returned by the method may break the function’s behaviour, as it is using these graphs to compute the next ones: only use copy = False when you stick to reading the graphs returned.

EXAMPLES:

Print graphs on 3 or less vertices:

sage: for G in graphs(3, augment='vertices'):
....:     print(G)
Graph on 0 vertices
Graph on 1 vertex
Graph on 2 vertices
Graph on 3 vertices
Graph on 3 vertices
Graph on 3 vertices
Graph on 2 vertices
Graph on 3 vertices

Generate all graphs with 5 vertices and 4 edges.

sage: L = graphs(5, size=4)
sage: len(list(L))

Generate all graphs with degree at most 2, up to 6 vertices.

sage: property = lambda G: ( max([G.degree(v) for v in G] + [0]) <= 2 )
sage: L = list(graphs(6, property, augment='vertices'))
sage: len(L)
45

Generate all bipartite graphs on up to 7 vertices: (see OEIS sequence A033995)

sage: L = list( graphs(7, lambda G: G.is_bipartite(), augment='vertices') )
sage: [len([g for g in L if g.order() == i]) for i in [1..7]]
[1, 2, 3, 7, 13, 35, 88]

Generate all bipartite graphs on exactly 7 vertices:

sage: L = list( graphs(7, lambda G: G.is_bipartite()) )
sage: len(L)
88

Generate all bipartite graphs on exactly 8 vertices:

sage: L = list( graphs(8, lambda G: G.is_bipartite()) ) # long time
sage: len(L)                                            # long time
303

Remember that the property argument does not behave as a filter, except for appropriately inheritable properties:

sage: property = lambda G: G.is_vertex_transitive()
sage: len(list(graphs(4, property)))                                            # needs sage.groups
1
sage: sum(1 for g in graphs(4) if property(g))                                  # needs sage.groups
4

sage: property = lambda G: G.is_bipartite()
sage: len(list(graphs(4, property)))
7
sage: sum(1 for g in graphs(4) if property(g))
7

Generate graphs on the fly: (see OEIS sequence A000088)

sage: for i in range(7):
....:     print(len(list(graphs(i))))
1

sage: for i in [0..5]:  # long time
....:     print((i, len([g for g in L if g.order() == i])))
(0, 1)
(1, 2)
(2, 6)
(3, 20)
(4, 90)
(5, 544)

Generate all graphs with a specified degree sequence (see OEIS sequence A002851):

sage: for i in [4,6,8]:  # long time (4s on sage.math, 2012)
....:     print((i, len([g for g in graphs(i, degree_sequence=[3]*i) if g.is_connected()])))
(4, 1)
(6, 2)
(8, 5)
sage: for i in [4,6,8]:  # long time (7s on sage.math, 2012)
....:     print((i, len([g for g in graphs(i, augment='vertices', degree_sequence=[3]*i) if g.is_connected()])))
(4, 1)
(6, 2)
(8, 5)
sage: print((10, len([g for g in graphs(10,degree_sequence=[3]*10) if g.is_connected()]))) # not tested
(10, 19)

Make sure that the graphs are really independent and the generator survives repeated vertex removal (github issue #8458):

sage: for G in graphs(3):
....:     G.delete_vertex(0)
....:     print(G.order())

static AffineOrthogonalPolarGraph(d, q, sign='+')#

Return the affine polar graph \(VO^+(d,q),VO^-(d,q)\) or \(VO(d,q)\).

Affine Polar graphs are built from a \(d\)-dimensional vector space over \(F_q\), and a quadratic form which is hyperbolic, elliptic or parabolic according to the value of sign.

Note that \(VO^+(d,q),VO^-(d,q)\) are strongly regular graphs, while \(VO(d,q)\) is not.

For more information on Affine Polar graphs, see Affine Polar Graphs page of Andries Brouwer’s website.

INPUT:

  • d – integer; d must be even if sign is not None, and odd otherwise

  • q – integer; a power of a prime number, as \(F_q\) must exist

  • sign – string (default: "+"); must be equal to "+", "-", or None to compute (respectively) \(VO^+(d,q),VO^-(d,q)\) or \(VO(d,q)\)

Note

The graph \(VO^\epsilon(d,q)\) is the graph induced by the non-neighbors of a vertex in an Orthogonal Polar Graph \(O^\epsilon(d+2,q)\).

EXAMPLES:

The Brouwer-Haemers graph is isomorphic to \(VO^-(4,3)\):

sage: g = graphs.AffineOrthogonalPolarGraph(4,3,"-")                            # needs sage.libs.gap
sage: g.is_isomorphic(graphs.BrouwerHaemersGraph())                             # needs sage.libs.gap
True

Some examples from Brouwer’s table or strongly regular graphs:

sage: # needs sage.libs.gap
sage: g = graphs.AffineOrthogonalPolarGraph(6,2,"-"); g
Affine Polar Graph VO^-(6,2): Graph on 64 vertices
sage: g.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)
(64, 27, 10, 12)
sage: g = graphs.AffineOrthogonalPolarGraph(6,2,"+"); g
Affine Polar Graph VO^+(6,2): Graph on 64 vertices
sage: g.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)
(64, 35, 18, 20)

When sign is None:

sage: # needs sage.libs.gap
sage: g = graphs.AffineOrthogonalPolarGraph(5,2,None); g
Affine Polar Graph VO^-(5,2): Graph on 32 vertices
sage: g.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)
False
sage: g.is_regular()
True
sage: g.is_vertex_transitive()
True
static AfricaMap(continental=False, year=2018)#

Return African states as a graph of common border.

“African state” here is defined as an independent state having the capital city in Africa. The graph has an edge between those countries that have common land border.

INPUT:

  • continental – boolean (default: False); whether to only return states in the continental Africa or all African states

  • year – integer (default: 2018); reserved for future use

EXAMPLES:

sage: Africa = graphs.AfricaMap(); Africa
Africa Map: Graph on 54 vertices
sage: sorted(Africa.neighbors('Libya'))
['Algeria', 'Chad', 'Egypt', 'Niger', 'Sudan', 'Tunisia']

sage: cont_Africa = graphs.AfricaMap(continental=True)
sage: cont_Africa.order()
48
sage: 'Madagaskar' in cont_Africa
False
static AhrensSzekeresGeneralizedQuadrangleGraph(q, dual=False)#

Return the collinearity graph of the generalized quadrangle \(AS(q)\), or of its dual

Let \(q\) be an odd prime power. \(AS(q)\) is a generalized quadrangle (Wikipedia article Generalized_quadrangle) of order \((q-1,q+1)\), see 3.1.5 in [PT2009]. Its points are elements of \(F_q^3\), and lines are sets of size \(q\) of the form

  • \(\{ (\sigma, a, b) \mid \sigma\in F_q \}\)

  • \(\{ (a, \sigma, b) \mid \sigma\in F_q \}\)

  • \(\{ (c \sigma^2 - b \sigma + a, -2 c \sigma + b, \sigma) \mid \sigma\in F_q \}\),

where \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) are arbitrary elements of \(F_q\).

INPUT:

  • q – a power of an odd prime number

  • dual – boolean (default: False); whether to return the collinearity graph of \(AS(q)\) or of the dual \(AS(q)\) (when True)

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = graphs.AhrensSzekeresGeneralizedQuadrangleGraph(5); g
AS(5); GQ(4, 6): Graph on 125 vertices
sage: g.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)
(125, 28, 3, 7)
sage: g = graphs.AhrensSzekeresGeneralizedQuadrangleGraph(5, dual=True); g
AS(5)*; GQ(6, 4): Graph on 175 vertices
sage: g.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)
(175, 30, 5, 5)
static AlternatingFormsGraph(n, q)#

Return the alternating forms graph with the given parameters.

This builds a graph whose vertices are all \(n`x`n\) skew-symmetric matrices over \(GF(q)\) with zero diagonal. Two vertices are adjacent if and only if the difference of the two matrices has rank 2.

This grap is distance-regular with classical parameters \((\lfloor \frac n 2 \rfloor, q^2, q^2 - 1, q^{2 \lceil \frac n 2 \rceil -1})\).

INPUT:

  • n – integer

  • q – a prime power

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.AlternatingFormsGraph(5, 2)  # long time
sage: G.is_distance_regular(True)  # long time
([155, 112, None], [None, 1, 20])

REFERENCES:

See [BCN1989] pp. 282-284 for a rather detailed discussion, otherwise see [VDKT2016] p. 22.

static AztecDiamondGraph(n)#

Return the Aztec Diamond graph of order n.

See the Wikipedia article Aztec_diamond for more information.

EXAMPLES:

sage: graphs.AztecDiamondGraph(2)
Aztec Diamond graph of order 2

sage: [graphs.AztecDiamondGraph(i).num_verts() for i in range(8)]
[0, 4, 12, 24, 40, 60, 84, 112]

sage: [graphs.AztecDiamondGraph(i).num_edges() for i in range(8)]
[0, 4, 16, 36, 64, 100, 144, 196]

sage: G = graphs.AztecDiamondGraph(3)
sage: sum(1 for p in G.perfect_matchings())
64
static Balaban10Cage(embedding=1)#

Return the Balaban 10-cage.

The Balaban 10-cage is a 3-regular graph with 70 vertices and 105 edges. See the Wikipedia article Balaban_10-cage.

The default embedding gives a deeper understanding of the graph’s automorphism group. It is divided into 4 layers (each layer being a set of points at equal distance from the drawing’s center). From outside to inside:

  • L1: The outer layer (vertices which are the furthest from the origin) is actually the disjoint union of two cycles of length 10.

  • L2: The second layer is an independent set of 20 vertices.

  • L3: The third layer is a matching on 10 vertices.

  • L4: The inner layer (vertices which are the closest from the origin) is also the disjoint union of two cycles of length 10.

This graph is not vertex-transitive, and its vertices are partitioned into 3 orbits: L2, L3, and the union of L1 of L4 whose elements are equivalent.

INPUT:

  • embedding – integer (default: 1); two embeddings are available, and can be selected by setting embedding to be either 1 or 2

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs networkx
sage: g = graphs.Balaban10Cage()
sage: g.girth()
10
sage: g.chromatic_number()
2
sage: g.diameter()
6
sage: g.is_hamiltonian()                                                        # needs sage.numerical.mip
True
sage: g.show(figsize=[10,10])           # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static Balaban11Cage(embedding=1)#

Return the Balaban 11-cage.

For more information, see the Wikipedia article Balaban_11-cage.

INPUT:

  • embedding – integer (default: 1); three embeddings are available, and can be selected by setting embedding to be 1, 2, or 3

    • The first embedding is the one appearing on page 9 of the Fifth Annual Graph Drawing Contest report [EMMN1998]. It separates vertices based on their eccentricity (see eccentricity()).

    • The second embedding has been produced just for Sage and is meant to emphasize the automorphism group’s 6 orbits.

    • The last embedding is the default one produced by the LCFGraph() constructor.

Note

The vertex labeling changes according to the value of embedding=1.

EXAMPLES:

Basic properties:

sage: g = graphs.Balaban11Cage()
sage: g.order()
112
sage: g.size()
168
sage: g.girth()
11
sage: g.diameter()
8
sage: g.automorphism_group().cardinality()                                      # needs sage.groups
64

Our many embeddings:

sage: g1 = graphs.Balaban11Cage(embedding=1)
sage: g2 = graphs.Balaban11Cage(embedding=2)                                    # needs networkx
sage: g3 = graphs.Balaban11Cage(embedding=3)                                    # needs networkx
sage: g1.show(figsize=[10,10])          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
sage: g2.show(figsize=[10,10])          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: g3.show(figsize=[10,10])          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot

Proof that the embeddings are the same graph:

sage: g1.is_isomorphic(g2)  # g2 and g3 are obviously isomorphic                # needs networkx
True
static BalancedTree(r, h)#

Returns the perfectly balanced tree of height \(h \geq 1\), whose root has degree \(r \geq 2\).

The number of vertices of this graph is \(1 + r + r^2 + \cdots + r^h\), that is, \(\frac{r^{h+1} - 1}{r - 1}\). The number of edges is one less than the number of vertices.

INPUT:

  • r – positive integer \(\geq 2\). The degree of the root node.

  • h – positive integer \(\geq 1\). The height of the balanced tree.

OUTPUT:

The perfectly balanced tree of height \(h \geq 1\) and whose root has degree \(r \geq 2\). A NetworkXError is returned if \(r < 2\) or \(h < 1\).

ALGORITHM:

Uses NetworkX.

EXAMPLES:

A balanced tree whose root node has degree \(r = 2\), and of height \(h = 1\), has order 3 and size 2:

sage: G = graphs.BalancedTree(2, 1); G                                          # needs networkx
Balanced tree: Graph on 3 vertices
sage: G.order(); G.size()                                                       # needs networkx
3
2
sage: r = 2; h = 1
sage: v = 1 + r
sage: v; v - 1
3
2

Plot a balanced tree of height 5, whose root node has degree \(r = 3\):

sage: G = graphs.BalancedTree(3, 5)                                             # needs networkx
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot

A tree is bipartite. If its vertex set is finite, then it is planar.

sage: # needs networkx
sage: r = randint(2, 5); h = randint(1, 7)
sage: T = graphs.BalancedTree(r, h)
sage: T.is_bipartite()
True
sage: T.is_planar()
True
sage: v = (r^(h + 1) - 1) / (r - 1)
sage: T.order() == v
True
sage: T.size() == v - 1
True
static BarbellGraph(n1, n2)#

Returns a barbell graph with 2*n1 + n2 nodes. The argument n1 must be greater than or equal to 2.

A barbell graph is a basic structure that consists of a path graph of order n2 connecting two complete graphs of order n1 each.

INPUT:

  • n1 – integer \(\geq 2\). The order of each of the two complete graphs.

  • n2 – nonnegative integer. The order of the path graph connecting the two complete graphs.

OUTPUT:

A barbell graph of order 2*n1 + n2. A ValueError is returned if n1 < 2 or n2 < 0.

PLOTTING:

Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, each barbell graph will be displayed with the two complete graphs in the lower-left and upper-right corners, with the path graph connecting diagonally between the two. Thus the n1-th node will be drawn at a 45 degree angle from the horizontal right center of the first complete graph, and the n1 + n2 + 1-th node will be drawn 45 degrees below the left horizontal center of the second complete graph.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a barbell graph Bar = 4, Bells = 9:

sage: g = graphs.BarbellGraph(9, 4); g
Barbell graph: Graph on 22 vertices
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

EXAMPLES:

The Bucky Ball is planar:

The Bucky Ball can also be created by extracting the 1-skeleton of the Bucky Ball polyhedron, but this is much slower:

static BullGraph()#

Return a bull graph with 5 nodes.

A bull graph is named for its shape. It’s a triangle with horns. See the Wikipedia article Bull_graph for more information.

PLOTTING:

Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the bull graph is drawn as a triangle with the first node (0) on the bottom. The second and third nodes (1 and 2) complete the triangle. Node 3 is the horn connected to 1 and node 4 is the horn connected to node 2.

The bull graph has chromatic polynomial \(x(x - 2)(x - 1)^3\) and Tutte polynomial \(x^4 + x^3 + x^2 y\). Its characteristic polynomial is \(x(x^2 - x - 3)(x^2 + x - 1)\), which follows from the definition of characteristic polynomials for graphs, i.e. \(\det(xI - A)\), where \(x\) is a variable, \(A\) the adjacency matrix of the graph, and \(I\) the identity matrix of the same dimensions as \(A\):

sage: # needs sage.libs.flint

static ButterflyGraph()#

Return the butterfly graph.

Let \(C_3\) be the cycle graph on 3 vertices. The butterfly or bowtie graph is obtained by joining two copies of \(C_3\) at a common vertex, resulting in a graph that is isomorphic to the friendship graph \(F_2\). See the Wikipedia article Butterfly_graph for more information.

EXAMPLES:

The butterfly graph is a planar graph on 5 vertices and having 6 edges:

sage: G = graphs.ButterflyGraph(); G
Butterfly graph: Graph on 5 vertices
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

static CaiFurerImmermanGraph(G, twisted=False)#

Return the a Cai-Furer-Immerman graph from \(G\), possibly a twisted one, and a partition of its nodes.

A Cai-Furer-Immerman graph from/on \(G\) is a graph created by applying the transformation described in [CFI1992] on a graph \(G\), that is substituting every vertex v in \(G\) with a Furer gadget \(F(v)\) of order d equal to the degree of the vertex, and then substituting every edge \((v,u)\) in \(G\) with a pair of edges, one connecting the two “a” nodes of \(F(v)\) and \(F(u)\) and the other their two “b” nodes. The returned coloring of the vertices is made by the union of the colorings of each single Furer gadget, individualised for each vertex of \(G\). To understand better what these “a” and “b” nodes are, see the documentation on Furer gadgets.

Furthermore, this method can apply what is described in the paper mentioned above as a “twist” on an edge, that is taking only one of the pairs of edges introduced in the new graph and swap two of their extremes, making each edge go from an “a” node to a “b” node. This is only doable if the original graph G is connected.

static CirculantGraph(n, adjacency)#

Returns a circulant graph with n nodes.

A circulant graph has the property that the vertex \(i\) is connected with the vertices \(i+j\) and \(i-j\) for each j in adjacency.

INPUT:

  • n - number of vertices in the graph

  • adjacency - the list of j values

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, each circulant graph will be displayed with the first (0) node at the top, with the rest following in a counterclockwise manner.

Filling the position dictionary in advance adds O(n) to the constructor.

EXAMPLES: Compare plotting using the predefined layout and networkx:

sage: # needs networkx
sage: import networkx
sage: n = networkx.cycle_graph(23)
sage: spring23 = Graph(n)
sage: posdict23 = graphs.CirculantGraph(23,2)
sage: spring23.show()                   # long time
sage: posdict23.show()  # long time

We next view many cycle graphs as a Sage graphics array. First we use the CirculantGraph constructor, which fills in the position dictionary:

sage: # needs sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:     k = graphs.CirculantGraph(i+4, i+1)
....:     g.append(k)
sage: for i in range(3):
....:     n = []
....:     for m in range(3):
....:         n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:     j.append(n)
sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time

Compare to plotting with the spring-layout algorithm:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:     spr = networkx.cycle_graph(i+3)
....:     k = Graph(spr)
....:     g.append(k)
sage: for i in range(3):
....:  n = []
....:  for m in range(3):
....:      n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:  j.append(n)
sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time

Passing a 1 into adjacency should give the cycle.

static CircularLadderGraph(n)#

Return a circular ladder graph with \(2 * n\) nodes.

A Circular ladder graph is a ladder graph that is connected at the ends, i.e.: a ladder bent around so that top meets bottom. Thus it can be described as two parallel cycle graphs connected at each corresponding node pair.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the circular ladder graph is displayed as an inner and outer cycle pair, with the first \(n\) nodes drawn on the inner circle. The first (0) node is drawn at the top of the inner-circle, moving clockwise after that. The outer circle is drawn with the \((n+1)`th node at the top, then counterclockwise as well. When `n == 2\), we rotate the outer circle by an angle of \(\pi/8\) to ensure that all edges are visible (otherwise the 4 vertices of the graph would be placed on a single line).

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a circular ladder graph with 26 nodes:

sage: g = graphs.CircularLadderGraph(13)
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

Create several circular ladder graphs in a Sage graphics array:

sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:    k = graphs.CircularLadderGraph(i+3)
....:    g.append(k)
sage: for i in range(3):                                                        # needs sage.plot
....:    n = []
....:    for m in range(3):
....:        n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:    j.append(n)
sage: G = graphics_array(j)                                                     # needs sage.plot
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static ClawGraph()#

Return a claw graph.

A claw graph is named for its shape. It is actually a complete bipartite graph with (n1, n2) = (1, 3).

PLOTTING: See CompleteBipartiteGraph().

EXAMPLES:

Show a Claw graph:

sage: (graphs.ClawGraph()).show()       # long time                             # needs sage.plot

Inspect a Claw graph:

sage: G = graphs.ClawGraph()

static ClebschGraph()#

Return the Clebsch graph.

See the Wikipedia article Clebsch_graph for more information.

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = graphs.ClebschGraph()

static CompleteBipartiteGraph(p, q, set_position=True)#

Return a Complete Bipartite Graph on \(p + q\) vertices.

A Complete Bipartite Graph is a graph with its vertices partitioned into two groups, \(V_1 = \{0,...,p-1\}\) and \(V_2 = \{p,...,p+q-1\}\). Each \(u \in V_1\) is connected to every \(v \in V_2\).

INPUT:

  • p,q – number of vertices in each side

  • set_position – boolean (default True); if set to True, we assign positions to the vertices so that the set of cardinality \(p\) is on the line \(y=1\) and the set of cardinality \(q\) is on the line \(y=0\).

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, each complete bipartite graph will be displayed with the first \(p\) nodes on the top row (at \(y=1\)) from left to right. The remaining \(q\) nodes appear at \(y=0\), also from left to right. The shorter row (partition with fewer nodes) is stretched to the same length as the longer row, unless the shorter row has 1 node; in which case it is centered. The \(x\) values in the plot are in domain \([0, \max(p, q)]\).

In the Complete Bipartite graph, there is a visual difference in using the spring-layout algorithm vs. the position dictionary used in this constructor. The position dictionary flattens the graph and separates the partitioned nodes, making it clear which nodes an edge is connected to. The Complete Bipartite graph plotted with the spring-layout algorithm tends to center the nodes in \(p\) (see spring_med in examples below), thus overlapping its nodes and edges, making it typically hard to decipher.

Filling the position dictionary in advance adds \(O(n)\) to the constructor. Feel free to race the constructors below in the examples section. The much larger difference is the time added by the spring-layout algorithm when plotting. (Also shown in the example below). The spring model is typically described as \(O(n^3)\), as appears to be the case in the NetworkX source code.

EXAMPLES:

Two ways of constructing the complete bipartite graph, using different layout algorithms:

sage: # needs networkx
sage: import networkx
sage: n = networkx.complete_bipartite_graph(389, 157)   # long time
sage: spring_big = Graph(n)             # long time
sage: posdict_big = graphs.CompleteBipartiteGraph(389, 157)        # long time

Compare the plotting:

sage: n = networkx.complete_bipartite_graph(11, 17)                             # needs networkx
sage: spring_med = Graph(n)                                                     # needs networkx
sage: posdict_med = graphs.CompleteBipartiteGraph(11, 17)

Notice here how the spring-layout tends to center the nodes of \(n1\):

sage: spring_med.show()                 # long time                             # needs networkx
sage: posdict_med.show()                # long time                             # needs sage.plot

static CompleteGraph(n)#

Return a complete graph on \(n\) nodes.

A Complete Graph is a graph in which all nodes are connected to all other nodes.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, each complete graph will be displayed with the first (0) node at the top, with the rest following in a counterclockwise manner.

In the complete graph, there is a big difference visually in using the spring-layout algorithm vs. the position dictionary used in this constructor. The position dictionary flattens the graph, making it clear which nodes an edge is connected to. But the complete graph offers a good example of how the spring-layout works. The edges push outward (everything is connected), causing the graph to appear as a 3-dimensional pointy ball. (See examples below).

EXAMPLES:

We view many Complete graphs with a Sage Graphics Array, first with this constructor (i.e., the position dictionary filled):

sage: # needs sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:     k = graphs.CompleteGraph(i+3)
....:     g.append(k)

....:     for m in range(3):
....:         n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:     j.append(n)
sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time

We compare to plotting with the spring-layout algorithm:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: import networkx
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:     spr = networkx.complete_graph(i+3)

....:     g.append(k)
sage: for i in range(3):
....:     n = []
....:     for m in range(3):
....:         n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:     j.append(n)
sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time

static CompleteMultipartiteGraph(L)#

Return a complete multipartite graph.

INPUT:

  • L – a list of integers; the respective sizes of the components

PLOTTING: Produce a layout of the vertices so that vertices in the same vertex set are adjacent and clearly separated from vertices in other vertex sets.

This is done by calculating the vertices of an \(r\)-gon then calculating the slope between adjacent vertices. We then ‘walk’ around the \(r\)-gon placing graph vertices in regular intervals between adjacent vertices of the \(r\)-gon.

Makes a nicely organized graph like in this picture: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Turan_13-4.svg

EXAMPLES:

A complete tripartite graph with sets of sizes \(5, 6, 8\):

sage: g = graphs.CompleteMultipartiteGraph([5, 6, 8]); g
Multipartite Graph with set sizes [5, 6, 8]: Graph on 19 vertices

It clearly has a chromatic number of 3:

static ConwaySmith_for_3S7()#

Return the Conway-Smith graph related to \(3 Sym(7)\).

This is a distance-regular graph with intersection array \([10, 6, 4, 1; 1, 2, 6, 10]\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.ConwaySmith_for_3S7()                                          # needs sage.modules sage.rings.finite_rings sage.rings.number_field

REFERENCES:

A description and construction of this graph can be found in [BCN1989] p. 399.

static CorrelationGraph(seqs, alpha, include_anticorrelation)#

Constructs and returns a correlation graph with a node corresponding to each sequence in \(seqs\).

Edges are added between nodes where the corresponding sequences have a correlation coeffecient greater than alpha.

If include_anticorrelation is true, then edges are also added between nodes with correlation coeffecient less than -alpha.

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs numpy sage: from sage.graphs.generators.basic import CorrelationGraph sage: data = [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9999]] sage: CG1 = CorrelationGraph(data, 0.9, False) sage: CG2 = CorrelationGraph(data, 0.9, True) sage: CG3 = CorrelationGraph(data, 0.1, True) sage: CG1.edges(sort=False) [(0, 0, None), (0, 1, None), (1, 1, None), (2, 2, None)] sage: CG2.edges(sort=False) [(0, 0, None), (0, 1, None), (1, 1, None), (2, 2, None)] sage: CG3.edges(sort=False) [(0, 0, None), (0, 1, None), (0, 2, None), (1, 1, None), (1, 2, None), (2, 2, None)]

static CossidentePenttilaGraph(q)#

Return the Cossidente-Penttila \(((q^3+1)(q+1)/2,(q^2+1)(q-1)/2,(q-3)/2,(q-1)^2/2)\)-strongly regular graph

For each odd prime power \(q\), one can partition the points of the \(O_6^-(q)\)-generalized quadrangle \(GQ(q,q^2)\) into two parts, so that on any of them the induced subgraph of the point graph of the GQ has parameters as above [CP2005].

Directly following the construction in [CP2005] is not efficient, as one then needs to construct the dual \(GQ(q^2,q)\). Thus we describe here a more efficient approach that we came up with, following a suggestion by T.Penttila. Namely, this partition is invariant under the subgroup \(H=\Omega_3(q^2)<O_6^-(q)\). We build the appropriate \(H\), which leaves the form \(B(X,Y,Z)=XY+Z^2\) invariant, and pick up two orbits of \(H\) on the \(F_q\)-points. One them is \(B\)-isotropic, and we take the representative \((1:0:0)\). The other one corresponds to the points of \(PG(2,q^2)\) that have all the lines on them either missing the conic specified by \(B\), or intersecting the conic in two points. We take \((1:1:e)\) as the representative. It suffices to pick \(e\) so that \(e^2+1\) is not a square in \(F_{q^2}\). Indeed, The conic can be viewed as the union of \(\{(0:1:0)\}\) and \(\{(1:-t^2:t) | t \in F_{q^2}\}\). The coefficients of a generic line on \((1:1:e)\) are \([1:-1-eb:b]\), for \(-1\neq eb\). Thus, to make sure the intersection with the conic is always even, we need that the discriminant of \(1+(1+eb)t^2+tb=0\) never vanishes, and this is if and only if \(e^2+1\) is not a square. Further, we need to adjust \(B\), by multiplying it by appropriately chosen \(\nu\), so that \((1:1:e)\) becomes isotropic under the relative trace norm \(\nu B(X,Y,Z)+(\nu B(X,Y,Z))^q\). The latter is used then to define the graph.

INPUT:

  • q – an odd prime power.

EXAMPLES:

For \(q=3\) one gets Sims-Gewirtz graph.

sage: G = graphs.CossidentePenttilaGraph(3)     # optional - gap_package_grape
sage: G.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)    # optional - gap_package_grape
(56, 10, 0, 2)

For \(q>3\) one gets new graphs.

sage: G.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)    # optional - gap_package_grape
(378, 52, 1, 8)
static CoxeterGraph()#

See the Wikipedia article Coxeter_graph.

static CubeConnectedCycle(d)#

Return the cube-connected cycle of dimension \(d\).

The cube-connected cycle of order \(d\) is the \(d\)-dimensional hypercube with each of its vertices replaced by a cycle of length \(d\). This graph has order \(d \times 2^d\). The construction is as follows: Construct vertex \((x,y)\) for \(0 \leq x < 2^d\), \(0 \leq y < d\). For each vertex, \((x,y)\), add an edge between it and \((x, (y-1) \mod d))\), \((x,(y+1) \mod d)\), and \((x \oplus 2^y, y)\), where \(\oplus\) is the bitwise xor operator.

For \(d=1\) and \(2\), the cube-connected cycle graph contains self-loops or multiple edges between a pair of vertices, but for all other \(d\), it is simple.

INPUT:

  • d – The dimension of the desired hypercube as well as the length of the cycle to be placed at each vertex of the \(d\)-dimensional hypercube. \(d\) must be a positive integer.

EXAMPLES:

The order of the graph is \(d \times 2^d\)

sage: d = 3
sage: g = graphs.CubeConnectedCycle(d)
sage: len(g) == d*2**d
True

The diameter of cube-connected cycles for \(d > 3\) is \(2d + \lfloor \frac{d}{2} \rfloor - 2\)

sage: d = 4
sage: g = graphs.CubeConnectedCycle(d)
sage: g.diameter() == 2*d+d//2-2
True

All vertices have degree \(3\) when \(d > 1\)

sage: g = graphs.CubeConnectedCycle(5)
sage: all(g.degree(v) == 3 for v in g)
True
static CubeGraph(n, embedding=1)#

Return the \(n\)-cube graph, also called the hypercube in \(n\) dimensions.

The hypercube in \(n\) dimension is build upon the binary strings on \(n\) bits, two of them being adjacent if they differ in exactly one bit. Hence, the distance between two vertices in the hypercube is the Hamming distance.

INPUT:

  • n – integer; the dimension of the cube graph

  • embedding – integer (default: 1); two embeddings of the \(n\)-cube are available:

    • 1: the \(n\)-cube is projected inside a regular \(2n\)-gonal polygon by a skew orthogonal projection. See the Wikipedia article Hypercube for more details.

    • 2: orthogonal projection of the \(n\)-cube. This orientation shows columns of independent vertices such that the neighbors of a vertex are located in the columns on the left and on the right. The number of vertices in each column represents rows in Pascal’s triangle. See for instance the Wikipedia article 10-cube for more details.

    • 3: oblique projection of the \(n\)-cube. Oblique projection involves aligning one face parallel to the viewer and projecting at a specified angle, maintaining equal size for edges parallel to one axis while applying fixed foreshortening to others. This method simplifies the representation of a four-dimensional hypercube onto a two-dimensional plane, offering a geometrically consistent visualization.

    • None or O: no embedding is provided

EXAMPLES:

The distance between \(0100110\) and \(1011010\) is \(5\), as expected:

sage: g = graphs.CubeGraph(7)
sage: g.distance('0100110','1011010')

sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show(figsize=[6,4])             # long time

sage: g = graphs.CubeGraph(9, embedding=1)
sage: g.show(figsize=[12,12],vertex_labels=False, vertex_size=20)       # long time, needs sage.plot
sage: g = graphs.CubeGraph(9, embedding=2)

static CycleGraph(n)#

Return a cycle graph with \(n\) nodes.

A cycle graph is a basic structure which is also typically called an \(n\)-gon.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, each cycle graph will be displayed with the first (0) node at the top, with the rest following in a counterclockwise manner.

The cycle graph is a good opportunity to compare efficiency of filling a position dictionary vs. using the spring-layout algorithm for plotting. Because the cycle graph is very symmetric, the resulting plots should be similar (in cases of small \(n\)).

Filling the position dictionary in advance adds \(O(n)\) to the constructor.

EXAMPLES:

Compare plotting using the predefined layout and networkx:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: import networkx
sage: n = networkx.cycle_graph(23)
sage: spring23 = Graph(n)

sage: spring23.show()                   # long time
sage: posdict23.show()                  # long time

We next view many cycle graphs as a Sage graphics array. First we use the CycleGraph constructor, which fills in the position dictionary:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:     k = graphs.CycleGraph(i+3)
....:     g.append(k)
sage: for i in range(3):
....:     n = []
....:     for m in range(3):
....:         n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:     j.append(n)
sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time

Compare to plotting with the spring-layout algorithm:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:     spr = networkx.cycle_graph(i+3)
....:     k = Graph(spr)
....:     g.append(k)
sage: for i in range(3):
....:     n = []
....:     for m in range(3):
....:         n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:     j.append(n)
sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time
static DartGraph()#

Return a dart graph with 5 nodes.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the dart graph is drawn as a dart, with the sharp part on the bottom.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a dart graph:

sage: g = graphs.DartGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static DegreeSequence(deg_sequence)#

Return a graph with the given degree sequence.

This method raises a NetworkX error if the proposed degree sequence cannot be that of a graph.

Graph returned is the one returned by the Havel-Hakimi algorithm, which constructs a simple graph by connecting vertices of highest degree to other vertices of highest degree, resorting the remaining vertices by degree and repeating the process. See Theorem 1.4 in [CL1996].

INPUT:

  • deg_sequence – list of integers with each entry corresponding to the degree of a different vertex

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.DegreeSequence([3,3,3,3])                                      # needs networkx
sage: G.edges(sort=True, labels=False)                                          # needs networkx
[(0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3)]
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: G = graphs.DegreeSequence([3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3])  # needs networkx
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: G = graphs.DegreeSequence([4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4])                              # needs networkx
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: G = graphs.DegreeSequence([1,2,3,4,3,4,3,2,3,2,1])                        # needs networkx
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot
static DegreeSequenceBipartite(s1, s2)#

Return a bipartite graph whose two sets have the given degree sequences.

Given two different sequences of degrees \(s_1\) and \(s_2\), this functions returns ( if possible ) a bipartite graph on sets \(A\) and \(B\) such that the vertices in \(A\) have \(s_1\) as their degree sequence, while \(s_2\) is the degree sequence of the vertices in \(B\).

INPUT:

  • s_1 – list of integers corresponding to the degree sequence of the first set of vertices

  • s_2 – list of integers corresponding to the degree sequence of the second set of vertices

ALGORITHM:

This function works through the computation of the matrix given by the Gale-Ryser theorem, which is in this case the adjacency matrix of the bipartite graph.

EXAMPLES:

If we are given as sequences [2,2,2,2,2] and [5,5] we are given as expected the complete bipartite graph \(K_{2,5}\):

sage: g = graphs.DegreeSequenceBipartite([2,2,2,2,2],[5,5])                     # needs sage.combinat sage.modules
sage: g.is_isomorphic(graphs.CompleteBipartiteGraph(5,2))                       # needs sage.combinat sage.modules
True

Some sequences being incompatible if, for example, their sums are different, the functions raises a ValueError when no graph corresponding to the degree sequences exists:

sage: g = graphs.DegreeSequenceBipartite([2,2,2,2,1],[5,5])                     # needs sage.combinat sage.modules
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: there exists no bipartite graph corresponding to the given degree sequences
static DegreeSequenceConfigurationModel(deg_sequence, seed=None)#

Return a random pseudograph with the given degree sequence.

This method raises a NetworkX error if the proposed degree sequence cannot be that of a graph with multiple edges and loops.

One requirement is that the sum of the degrees must be even, since every edge must be incident with two vertices.

INPUT:

  • deg_sequence – list of integers with each entry corresponding to the expected degree of a different vertex

  • seed – (optional) a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.DegreeSequenceConfigurationModel([1,1])                        # needs networkx
sage: G.adjacency_matrix()                                                      # needs networkx sage.modules
[0 1]
[1 0]

The output is allowed to contain both loops and multiple edges:

sage: # needs networkx
sage: deg_sequence = [3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3]
sage: G = graphs.DegreeSequenceConfigurationModel(deg_sequence)
sage: G.order(), G.size()
(20, 30)
sage: G.has_loops() or G.has_multiple_edges()  # random
True
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

static DegreeSequenceExpected(deg_sequence, seed=None)#

Return a random graph with expected given degree sequence.

This method raises a NetworkX error if the proposed degree sequence cannot be that of a graph.

One requirement is that the sum of the degrees must be even, since every edge must be incident with two vertices.

INPUT:

  • deg_sequence – list of integers with each entry corresponding to the expected degree of a different vertex

  • seed – (optional) a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.DegreeSequenceExpected([1,2,3,2,3]); G                         # needs networkx
Looped graph on 5 vertices
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot

REFERENCE:

[CL2002]

static DegreeSequenceTree(deg_sequence)#

Return a tree with the given degree sequence.

This method raises a NetworkX error if the proposed degree sequence cannot be that of a tree.

Since every tree has one more vertex than edge, the degree sequence must satisfy len(deg_sequence) - sum(deg_sequence)/2 == 1.

INPUT:

  • deg_sequence – list of integers with each entry corresponding to the expected degree of a different vertex

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.DegreeSequenceTree([3,1,3,3,1,1,1,2,1]); G                     # needs networkx
Graph on 9 vertices
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot

The Dejter graph is obtained from the binary 7-cube by deleting a copy of the Hamming code of length 7. It is 6-regular, with 112 vertices and 336 edges. For more information, see the Wikipedia article Dejter_graph.

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = graphs.DejterGraph(); g                                               # needs sage.rings.finite_rings
Dejter Graph: Graph on 112 vertices
sage: g.is_regular(k=6)                                                         # needs sage.rings.finite_rings

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the diamond graph is drawn as a diamond, with the first node on top, second on the left, third on the right, and fourth on the bottom; with the second and third node connected.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a diamond graph:

sage: g = graphs.DiamondGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static DipoleGraph(n)#

Returns a dipole graph with n edges.

A dipole graph is a multigraph consisting of 2 vertices connected with n parallel edges.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a dipole graph with 13 edges:

sage: g = graphs.DipoleGraph(13); g
Dipole graph: Multi-graph on 2 vertices
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static DodecahedralGraph()#

Return a Dodecahedral graph (with 20 nodes)

The dodecahedral graph is cubic symmetric, so the spring-layout algorithm will be very effective for display. It is dual to the icosahedral graph.

PLOTTING: The Dodecahedral graph should be viewed in 3 dimensions. We choose to use a planar embedding of the graph. We hope to add rotatable, 3-dimensional viewing in the future. In such a case, a argument will be added to select the desired layout.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a Dodecahedral graph:

sage: g = graphs.DodecahedralGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

Create several dodecahedral graphs in a Sage graphics array They will be drawn differently due to the use of the spring-layout algorithm:

sage: # needs sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:     k = graphs.DodecahedralGraph()
....:     g.append(k)

Return a double generalized Petersen graph with \(4n\) nodes.

The double generalized Petersen graphs is a family of graphs proposed in [ZF2012] as a variant of generalized Petersen graphs. The variables \(n\), \(k\) are integers such that \(n > 2\) and \(0 < k \leq \lfloor (n-1) / 2 \rfloor\).

INPUT:

  • n – the number of nodes is \(4 * n\)

  • k – integer such that \(0 < k \leq \lfloor (n-1) / 2 \rfloor\) determining how vertices on second and third inner rims are connected

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the double generalized Petersen graphs are displayed as 4 cocentric cycles, with the first n nodes drawn on the outer circle. The first (0) node is drawn at the top of the outer-circle, moving counterclockwise after that. The second circle is drawn with the (n)th node at the top, then counterclockwise as well. The tird cycle is drawn with the (2n)th node at the top, then counterclockwise. And the fourth cycle is drawn with the (3n)th node at the top, then again counterclockwise.

EXAMPLES:

When \(n\) is even the resulting graph will be isomorphic to a double generalized Petersen graph with \(k' = n / 2 - k\):

sage: g = graphs.DoubleGeneralizedPetersenGraph(10, 2)
sage: g2 = graphs.DoubleGeneralizedPetersenGraph(10, 3)

This is useful for constructing graphs by adding edges and vertices individually or in a loop.

PLOTTING: When plotting, this graph will use the default spring-layout algorithm, unless a position dictionary is specified.

EXAMPLES:

Add one vertex to an empty graph and then show:

sage: empty1 = graphs.EmptyGraph()
sage: empty1.add_vertex()
0
sage: empty1.show()                     # long time                             # needs sage.plot

Use for loops to build a graph from an empty graph:

sage: empty2 = graphs.EmptyGraph()
sage: for i in range(5):
....:     empty2.add_vertex()  # add 5 nodes, labeled 0-4
0
1
2
3
4
sage: for i in range(3):
....:     empty2.add_edge(i,i+1)  # add edges {[0:1],[1:2],[2:3]}
sage: for i in range(1, 4):
....:     empty2.add_edge(4,i)  # add edges {[1:4],[2:4],[3:4]}
sage: empty2.show()                     # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static ErreraGraph()#

For more information, see the Wikipedia article Errera_graph.

EXAMPLES:

The Errera graph is named after Alfred Errera. It is a planar graph on 17 vertices and having 45 edges:

sage: G = graphs.ErreraGraph(); G
Errera graph: Graph on 17 vertices
sage: G.is_planar()
True
sage: G.order()
17
sage: G.size()
45

The Errera graph is Hamiltonian with radius 3, diameter 4, girth 3, and chromatic number 4:

sage: G.is_hamiltonian()                                                        # needs sage.numerical.mip
True
sage: G.radius()
3
sage: G.diameter()
4
sage: G.girth()

Each vertex degree is either 5 or 6. That is, if \(f\) counts the number of vertices of degree 5 and \(s\) counts the number of vertices of degree 6, then \(f + s\) is equal to the order of the Errera graph:

sage: D = G.degree_sequence()
sage: D.count(5) + D.count(6) == G.order()
True

The automorphism group of the Errera graph is isomorphic to the dihedral group of order 20:

sage: ag = G.automorphism_group()                                               # needs sage.groups

static FruchtGraph()#

static FurerGadget(k, prefix=None)#

Return a Furer gadget of order k and their coloring.

Construct the Furer gadget described in [CFI1992], a graph composed by a middle layer of \(2^(k-1)\) nodes and two sets of nodes \((a_0, ... , a_{k-1})\) and \((b_0, ... , b_{k-1})\). Each node in the middle is connected to either \(a_i\) or \(b_i\), for each i in [0,k[. To read about the complete construction, see [CFI1992]. The returned coloring colors the middle section with one color, and then each pair \((a_i, b_i)\) with another color. Since this method is mainly used to create Furer gadgets for the Cai-Furer-Immerman construction, returning gadgets that don’t always have the same vertex labels is important, that’s why there is a parameter to manually set a prefix to be appended to each vertex label.

INPUT:

  • k – The order of the returned Furer gadget, greater than 0.

  • prefix – Prefix of to be appended to each vertex label,

    so as to individualise the returned Furer gadget. Must be comparable for equality and hashable.

  • coloring – A list of list of vertices, representing the

    partition induced by the coloring of G’s vertices

static GeneralizedPetersenGraph(n, k)#

Returns a generalized Petersen graph with \(2n\) nodes. The variables \(n\), \(k\) are integers such that \(n>2\) and \(0<k\leq\lfloor(n-1)\)/\(2\rfloor\)

For \(k=1\) the result is a graph isomorphic to the circular ladder graph with the same \(n\). The regular Petersen Graph has \(n=5\) and \(k=2\). Other named graphs that can be described using this notation include the Desargues graph and the Möbius-Kantor graph.

static GeneralizedSierpinskiGraph(G, k, stretch=None)#

Return the generalized Sierpinski graph of \(G\) of dimension \(k\).

Generalized Sierpinski graphs have been introduced in [GKP2011] to generalize the notion of Sierpinski graphs [KM1997].

Given a graph \(G = (V, E)\) of order \(n\) and a parameter \(k\), the generalized Sierpinski graph of \(G\) of dimension \(k\), denoted by \(S(G, k)\), can be constructed recursively from \(G\) as follows. \(S(G, 1)\) is isomorphic to \(G\). To construct \(S(G, k)\) for \(k > 1\), copy \(n\) times \(S(G, k - 1)\), once per vertex \(u \in V\), and add \(u\) at the beginning of the labels of each vertex in the copy of \(S(G, k - 1)\) corresponding to vertex \(u\). Then for any edge \(\{u, v\} \in E\), add an edge between vertex \((u, v, \ldots, v)\) and vertex \((v, u, \ldots, u)\).

INPUT:

  • G – a sage Graph

  • k – integer; the dimension

  • stretch – integer (default: None); stretching factor used to determine the positions of the vertices of the output graph. By default (None), this value is set to twice the maximum Euclidean distance between the vertices of \(G\). This parameter is used only when the vertices of \(G\) have positions.

EXAMPLES:

The generalized Sierpinski graph of dimension 1 of any graph \(G\) is isomorphic to \(G\):

sage: G = graphs.RandomGNP(10, .5)
sage: S = graphs.GeneralizedSierpinskiGraph(G, 1)
sage: S.is_isomorphic(G)
True

When \(G\) is a clique of order 3, the generalized Sierpinski graphs of \(G\) are isomorphic to Hanoi Tower graphs:

sage: k = randint(1, 5)
sage: S = graphs.GeneralizedSierpinskiGraph(graphs.CompleteGraph(3), k)         # needs sage.modules
sage: H = graphs.HanoiTowerGraph(3, k)
sage: S.is_isomorphic(H)                                                        # needs sage.modules
True

The generalized Sierpinski graph of dimension \(k\) of any graph \(G\) with \(n\) vertices and \(m\) edges has \(n^k\) vertices and \(m\sum_{i=0}^{k-1}n^i\) edges:

sage: # needs sage.modules
sage: n = randint(2, 6)
sage: k = randint(1, 5)
sage: G = graphs.RandomGNP(n, .5)
sage: m = G.size()
sage: S = graphs.GeneralizedSierpinskiGraph(G, k)
sage: S.order() == n**k
True
sage: S.size() == m*sum([n**i for i in range(k)])
True
sage: G = graphs.CompleteGraph(n)
sage: S = graphs.GeneralizedSierpinskiGraph(G, k)
sage: S.order() == n**k
True
sage: S.size() == (n*(n - 1)/2)*sum([n**i for i in range(k)])
True

sage: G = graphs.HouseGraph()
sage: G.get_pos() is not None

static GoethalsSeidelGraph(k, r)#

Returns the graph \(\text{Goethals-Seidel}(k,r)\).

The graph \(\text{Goethals-Seidel}(k,r)\) comes from a construction presented in Theorem 2.4 of [GS1970]. It relies on a (v,k)-BIBD with \(r\) blocks and a hadamard_matrix() of order \(r+1\). The result is a sage.graphs.strongly_regular_db.strongly_regular_graph() on \(v(r+1)\) vertices with degree \(k=(n+r-1)/2\).

static Grid2dGraph(p, q, set_positions=True)#

Return a \(2\)-dimensional grid graph with \(p \times q\) nodes (\(p\) rows and \(q\) columns).

A 2d grid graph resembles a \(2\) dimensional grid. All inner nodes are connected to their \(4\) neighbors. Outer (non-corner) nodes are connected to their \(3\) neighbors. Corner nodes are connected to their 2 neighbors.

INPUT:

  • p and q – two positive integers

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, nodes are labelled in (row, column) pairs with \((0, 0)\) in the top left corner. Edges will always be horizontal and vertical - another advantage of filling the position dictionary.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a grid 2d graph Rows = \(5\), Columns = \(7\):

sage: g = graphs.Grid2dGraph(5,7)
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static GridGraph(dim_list)#

    extend in each dimension

PLOTTING: When plotting, this graph will use the default spring-layout algorithm, unless a position dictionary is specified.

Grotzsch graph: Graph on 11 vertices
sage: G.is_hamiltonian()                                                        # needs sage.numerical.mip

static HaemersGraph(q, hyperoval=None, hyperoval_matching=None, field=None, check_hyperoval=True)#

Return the Haemers graph obtained from \(T_2^*(q)^*\)

Let \(q\) be a power of 2. In Sect. 8.A of [BL1984] one finds a construction of a strongly regular graph with parameters \((q^2(q+2),q^2+q-1,q-2,q)\) from the graph of \(T_2^*(q)^*\), constructed by T2starGeneralizedQuadrangleGraph(), by redefining adjacencies in the way specified by an arbitrary hyperoval_matching of the points (i.e. partitioning into size two parts) of hyperoval defining \(T_2^*(q)^*\).

While [BL1984] gives the construction in geometric terms, it can be formulated, and is implemented, in graph-theoretic ones, of re-adjusting the edges. Namely, \(G=T_2^*(q)^*\) has a partition into \(q+2\) independent sets \(I_k\) of size \(q^2\) each. Each vertex in \(I_j\) is adjacent to \(q\) vertices from \(I_k\). Each \(I_k\) is paired to some \(I_{k'}\), according to hyperoval_matching. One adds edges \((s,t)\) for \(s,t \in I_k\) whenever \(s\) and \(t\) are adjacent to some \(u \in I_{k'}\), and removes all the edges between \(I_k\) and \(I_{k'}\).

INPUT:

  • q – a power of two

  • hyperoval_matching – if None (default), pair each \(i\)-th point of hyperoval with \((i+1)\)-th. Otherwise, specifies the pairing in the format \(((i_1,i'_1),(i_2,i'_2),...)\).

  • hyperoval – a hyperoval defining \(T_2^*(q)^*\). If None (default), the classical hyperoval obtained from a conic is used. See the documentation of T2starGeneralizedQuadrangleGraph(), for more information.

  • field – an instance of a finite field of order \(q\), must be provided if hyperoval is provided

  • check_hyperoval – boolean (default: True); whether to check hyperoval for correctness or not

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sage.combinat sage.rings.finite_rings
sage: g = graphs.HaemersGraph(4); g
Haemers(4): Graph on 96 vertices
sage: g.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)

static HallJankoGraph(from_string=True)#

Return the Hall-Janko graph.

For more information on the Hall-Janko graph, see the Wikipedia article Hall-Janko_graph.

The construction used to generate this graph in Sage is by a 100-point permutation representation of the Janko group \(J_2\), as described in version 3 of the ATLAS of Finite Group representations, in particular on the page ATLAS: J2 – Permutation representation on 100 points.

INPUT:

  • from_string – boolean (default: True); whether to build the graph from its sparse6 string or through GAP. The two methods return the same graph though doing it through GAP takes more time.

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = graphs.HallJankoGraph()
sage: g.is_regular(36)
True
sage: g.is_vertex_transitive()                                                  # needs sage.groups

static HammingGraph(n, q, X=None)#

Returns the Hamming graph with parameters n, q over X.

Hamming graphs are graphs over the cartesian product of n copies of X, where \(q = |X|\), where the vertices, labelled with the corresponding tuple in \(X^n\), are connected if the Hamming distance between their labels is 1. All Hamming graphs are regular, vertex-transitive and distance-regular.

Hamming graphs with parameters \((1,q)\) represent the complete graph with q vertices over the set X.

INPUT:

  • n – power to which X will be raised to provide vertices

    for the Hamming graph

  • q – cardinality of X

  • X – list of labels representing the vertices of the

    underlying graph the Hamming graph will be based on; if None (or left unused), the list \([0, ... , q-1]\) will be used

OUTPUT:

static HanoiTowerGraph(pegs, disks, labels=True, positions=True)#

Returns the graph whose vertices are the states of the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, with edges representing legal moves between states.

INPUT:

  • pegs - the number of pegs in the puzzle, 2 or greater

  • disks - the number of disks in the puzzle, 1 or greater

  • labels - default: True, if True the graph contains more meaningful labels, see explanation below. For large instances, turn off labels for much faster creation of the graph.

  • positions - default: True, if True the graph contains layout information. This creates a planar layout for the case of three pegs. For large instances, turn off layout information for much faster creation of the graph.

OUTPUT:

The Tower of Hanoi puzzle has a certain number of identical pegs and a certain number of disks, each of a different radius. Initially the disks are all on a single peg, arranged in order of their radii, with the largest on the bottom.

The goal of the puzzle is to move the disks to any other peg, arranged in the same order. The one constraint is that the disks resident on any one peg must always be arranged with larger radii lower down.

The vertices of this graph represent all the possible states of this puzzle. Each state of the puzzle is a tuple with length equal to the number of disks, ordered by largest disk first. The entry of the tuple is the peg where that disk resides. Since disks on a given peg must go down in size as we go up the peg, this totally describes the state of the puzzle.

For example (2,0,0) means the large disk is on peg 2, the medium disk is on peg 0, and the small disk is on peg 0 (and we know the small disk must be above the medium disk). We encode these tuples as integers with a base equal to the number of pegs, and low-order digits to the right.

Two vertices are adjacent if we can change the puzzle from one state to the other by moving a single disk. For example, (2,0,0) is adjacent to (2,0,1) since we can move the small disk off peg 0 and onto (the empty) peg 1. So the solution to a 3-disk puzzle (with at least two pegs) can be expressed by the shortest path between (0,0,0) and (1,1,1). For more on this representation of the graph, or its properties, see [AD2010].

For greatest speed we create graphs with integer vertices, where we encode the tuples as integers with a base equal to the number of pegs, and low-order digits to the right. So for example, in a 3-peg puzzle with 5 disks, the state (1,2,0,1,1) is encoded as \(1\ast 3^4 + 2\ast 3^3 + 0\ast 3^2 + 1\ast 3^1 + 1\ast 3^0 = 139\).

For smaller graphs, the labels that are the tuples are informative, but slow down creation of the graph. Likewise computing layout information also incurs a significant speed penalty. For maximum speed, turn off labels and layout and decode the vertices explicitly as needed. The sage.rings.integer.Integer.digits() with the padsto option is a quick way to do this, though you may want to reverse the list that is output.

PLOTTING:

The layout computed when positions = True will look especially good for the three-peg case, when the graph is known to be planar. Except for two small cases on 4 pegs, the graph is otherwise not planar, and likely there is a better way to layout the vertices.

EXAMPLES:

A classic puzzle uses 3 pegs. We solve the 5 disk puzzle using integer labels and report the minimum number of moves required. Note that \(3^5-1\) is the state where all 5 disks are on peg 2.

sage: H = graphs.HanoiTowerGraph(3, 5, labels=False, positions=False)
sage: H.distance(0, 3^5-1)
31

A slightly larger instance.

sage: H = graphs.HanoiTowerGraph(4, 6, labels=False, positions=False)
sage: H.num_verts()
4096
sage: H.distance(0, 4^6-1)
17

For a small graph, labels and layout information can be useful. Here we explicitly list a solution as a list of states.

sage: H = graphs.HanoiTowerGraph(3, 3, labels=True, positions=True)
sage: H.shortest_path((0,0,0), (1,1,1))
[(0, 0, 0), (0, 0, 1), (0, 2, 1), (0, 2, 2), (1, 2, 2), (1, 2, 0), (1, 1, 0), (1, 1, 1)]

Some facts about this graph with \(p\) pegs and \(d\) disks:

  • only automorphisms are the “obvious” ones - renumber the pegs.

  • chromatic number is less than or equal to \(p\)

  • independence number is \(p^{d-1}\)

sage: H = graphs.HanoiTowerGraph(3, 4, labels=False, positions=False)
sage: H.automorphism_group().is_isomorphic(SymmetricGroup(3))                   # needs sage.groups
True
sage: H.chromatic_number()

sage: len(H.independent_set()) == 3^(4-1)

static HararyGraph(k, n)#

Returns the Harary graph on \(n\) vertices and connectivity \(k\), where \(2 \leq k < n\).

A \(k\)-connected graph \(G\) on \(n\) vertices requires the minimum degree \(\delta(G)\geq k\), so the minimum number of edges \(G\) should have is \(\lceil kn/2\rceil\). Harary graphs achieve this lower bound, that is, Harary graphs are minimal \(k\)-connected graphs on \(n\) vertices.

The construction provided uses the method CirculantGraph. For more details, see the book D. B. West, Introduction to Graph Theory, 2nd Edition, Prentice Hall, 2001, p. 150–151; or the MathWorld article on Harary graphs.

static HarborthGraph()#

Return the Harborth Graph.

The Harborth graph has 104 edges and 52 vertices, and is the smallest known example of a 4-regular matchstick graph. For more information, see the Wikipedia article Harborth_graph.

True
static HarriesGraph(embedding=1)#

Return the Harries Graph.

The Harries graph is a Hamiltonian 3-regular graph on 70 vertices. See the Wikipedia article Harries_graph.

The default embedding here is to emphasize the graph’s 4 orbits. This graph actually has a funny construction. The following procedure gives an idea of it, though not all the adjacencies are being properly defined.

  1. Take two disjoint copies of a Petersen graph. Their vertices will form an orbit of the final graph.

  2. Subdivide all the edges once, to create 15+15=30 new vertices, which together form another orbit.

  3. Create 15 vertices, each of them linked to 2 corresponding vertices of the previous orbit, one in each of the two subdivided Petersen graphs. At the end of this step all vertices from the previous orbit have degree 3, and the only vertices of degree 2 in the graph are those that were just created.

  4. Create 5 vertices connected only to the ones from the previous orbit so that the graph becomes 3-regular.

INPUT:

  • embedding – integer (default: 1); two embeddings are available, and can be selected by setting embedding to 1 or 2

static HarriesWongGraph(embedding=1)#

Return the Harries-Wong Graph.

See the Wikipedia article Harries-Wong_graph.

About the default embedding:

The default embedding is an attempt to emphasize the graph’s 8 (!!!) different orbits. In order to understand this better, one can picture the graph as being built in the following way.

  1. One first creates a 3-dimensional cube (8 vertices, 12 edges), whose vertices define the first orbit of the final graph.

  2. The edges of this graph are subdivided once, to create 12 new vertices which define a second orbit.

  3. The edges of the graph are subdivided once more, to create 24 new vertices giving a third orbit.

  4. 4 vertices are created and made adjacent to the vertices of the second orbit so that they have degree 3. These 4 vertices also define a new orbit.

  5. In order to make the vertices from the third orbit 3-regular (they all miss one edge), one creates a binary tree on 1 + 3 + 6 + 12 vertices. The leaves of this new tree are made adjacent to the 12 vertices of the third orbit, and the graph is now 3-regular. This binary tree contributes 4 new orbits to the Harries-Wong graph.

INPUT:

  • embedding – integer (default: 1); two embeddings are available, and can be selected by setting embedding to 1 or 2

static HeawoodGraph()#

Return a Heawood graph.

The Heawood graph is a cage graph that has 14 nodes. It is a cubic symmetric graph. (See also the Möbius-Kantor graph, MobiusKantorGraph()). It is nonplanar and Hamiltonian. It has diameter 3, radius 3, girth 6, and chromatic number 2. It is 4-transitive but not 5-transitive. See the Wikipedia article Heawood_graph.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the nodes are positioned in a circular layout with the first node appearing at the top, and then continuing counterclockwise.

static HexahedralGraph()#

Return a hexahedral graph (with 8 nodes).

A regular hexahedron is a 6-sided cube. The hexahedral graph corresponds to the connectivity of the vertices of the hexahedron. This graph is equivalent to a 3-cube.

PLOTTING: The Hexahedral graph should be viewed in 3 dimensions. We choose to use a planar embedding of the graph. We hope to add rotatable, 3-dimensional viewing in the future. In such a case, a argument will be added to select the desired layout.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a Hexahedral graph:

sage: g = graphs.HexahedralGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

Create several hexahedral graphs in a Sage graphics array. They will be drawn differently due to the use of the spring-layout algorithm:

sage: # needs sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:     k = graphs.HexahedralGraph()
....:     g.append(k)

sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time
static HigmanSimsGraph(relabel=True)#

Return the Higman-Sims graph.

The Higman-Sims graph is a remarkable strongly regular graph of degree 22 on 100 vertices. For example, it can be split into two sets of 50 vertices each, so that each half induces a subgraph isomorphic to the Hoffman-Singleton graph (HoffmanSingletonGraph()). This can be done in 352 ways (see Higman-Sims graph by Andries E. Brouwer, accessed 24 October 2009.)

Its most famous property is that the automorphism group has an index 2 subgroup which is one of the 26 sporadic groups [HS1968].

The construction used here follows [Haf2004].

See also the Wikipedia article Higman–Sims_graph.

INPUT:

  • relabel – boolean (default: True); whether to relabel the vertices with consecutive integers. If False the labels are strings that are three digits long. “xyz” means the vertex is in group \(x\) (zero through three), pentagon or pentagram \(y\) (zero through four), and is vertex \(z\) (zero through four) of that pentagon or pentagram. See [Haf2004] for more.

OUTPUT:

The Higman-Sims graph.

EXAMPLES:

A split into the first 50 and last 50 vertices will induce two copies of the Hoffman-Singleton graph, and we illustrate another such split, which is obvious based on the construction used:

sage: H = graphs.HigmanSimsGraph()
sage: A = H.subgraph(range(0,50))
sage: B = H.subgraph(range(50,100))
sage: K = graphs.HoffmanSingletonGraph()
sage: K.is_isomorphic(A) and K.is_isomorphic(B)
True
sage: C = H.subgraph(range(25,75))
sage: D = H.subgraph(list(range(0,25))+list(range(75,100)))
sage: K.is_isomorphic(C) and K.is_isomorphic(D)
True

The automorphism group contains only one nontrivial proper normal subgroup, which is of index 2 and is simple. It is known as the Higman-Sims group:

sage: H = graphs.HigmanSimsGraph()
sage: G = H.automorphism_group()                                                # needs sage.groups

sage: g//K.order()                                                              # needs sage.groups

static HoffmanSingletonGraph()#

Return the Hoffman-Singleton graph.

The Hoffman-Singleton graph is the Moore graph of degree 7, diameter 2 and girth 5. The Hoffman-Singleton theorem states that any Moore graph with girth 5 must have degree 2, 3, 7 or 57. The first three respectively are the pentagon, the Petersen graph, and the Hoffman-Singleton graph. The existence of a Moore graph with girth 5 and degree 57 is still open.

A Moore graph is a graph with diameter \(d\) and girth \(2d + 1\). This implies that the graph is regular, and distance regular.

For more details, see [GR2001] and the Wikipedia article Hoffman–Singleton_graph.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. A novel algorithm written by Tom Boothby gives a random layout which is pleasing to the eye.

EXAMPLES:

sage: HS = graphs.HoffmanSingletonGraph()
sage: Set(HS.degree())
{7}
sage: HS.girth()

sage: HS.diameter()

sage: HS.num_verts()

Note that you get a different layout each time you create the graph.

sage: HS = graphs.HoffmanSingletonGraph()
sage: HS.layout()[1]  # random

static HouseGraph()#

Return a house graph with 5 nodes.

A house graph is named for its shape. It is a triangle (roof) over a square (walls).

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the house graph is drawn with the first node in the lower-left corner of the house, the second in the lower-right corner of the house. The third node is in the upper-left corner connecting the roof to the wall, and the fourth is in the upper-right corner connecting the roof to the wall. The fifth node is the top of the roof, connected only to the third and fourth.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a house graph:

sage: g = graphs.HouseGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static HouseXGraph()#

Return a house X graph with 5 nodes.

A house X graph is a house graph with two additional edges. The upper-right corner is connected to the lower-left. And the upper-left corner is connected to the lower-right.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the house X graph is drawn with the first node in the lower-left corner of the house, the second in the lower-right corner of the house. The third node is in the upper-left corner connecting the roof to the wall, and the fourth is in the upper-right corner connecting the roof to the wall. The fifth node is the top of the roof, connected only to the third and fourth.

Construct and show a house X graph:

sage: g = graphs.HouseXGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static HyperStarGraph(n, k)#

Return the hyper-star graph \(HS(n, k)\).

The vertices of the hyper-star graph are the set of binary strings of length \(n\) which contain \(k\) 1s. Two vertices, \(u\) and \(v\), are adjacent only if \(u\) can be obtained from \(v\) by swapping the first bit with a different symbol in another position. For instance, vertex '011100' of \(HS(6, 3)\) is adjacent to vertices '101100', '110100' and '111000'. See [LKOL2002] for more details.

INPUT:

static IGraph(n, j, k)#

Return an I-graph with \(2n\) nodes.

The I-Graph family as been proposed in [BCMS1988] as a generalization of the generalized Petersen graphs. The variables \(n\), \(j\), \(k\) are integers such that \(n > 2\) and \(0 < j, k \leq \lfloor (n - 1) / 2 \rfloor\). When \(j = 1\) the resulting graph is isomorphic to the generalized Petersen graph with the same \(n\) and \(k\).

INPUT:

  • n – the number of nodes is \(2 * n\)

  • j – integer such that \(0 < j \leq \lfloor (n-1) / 2 \rfloor\) determining how outer vertices are connected

  • k – integer such that \(0 < k \leq \lfloor (n-1) / 2 \rfloor\) determining how inner vertices are connected

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the I-graphs are displayed as an inner and outer cycle pair, with the first n nodes drawn on the outer circle. The first (0) node is drawn at the top of the outer-circle, moving counterclockwise after that. The inner circle is drawn with the (n)th node at the top, then counterclockwise as well.

EXAMPLES:

When \(j = 1\) the resulting graph will be isomorphic to a generalized Petersen graph:

sage: g = graphs.IGraph(7,1,2)
sage: g2 = graphs.GeneralizedPetersenGraph(7,2)
sage: g.is_isomorphic(g2)
True

The IGraph with parameters \((n, j, k)\) is isomorphic to the IGraph with parameters \((n, k, j)\):

sage: g = graphs.IGraph(7, 2, 3)
sage: h = graphs.IGraph(7, 3, 2)
sage: g.is_isomorphic(h)
True
static IcosahedralGraph()#

Return an Icosahedral graph (with 12 nodes).

The regular icosahedron is a 20-sided triangular polyhedron. The icosahedral graph corresponds to the connectivity of the vertices of the icosahedron. It is dual to the dodecahedral graph. The icosahedron is symmetric, so the spring-layout algorithm will be very effective for display.

PLOTTING: The Icosahedral graph should be viewed in 3 dimensions. We choose to use a planar embedding of the graph. We hope to add rotatable, 3-dimensional viewing in the future. In such a case, a argument will be added to select the desired layout.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show an Octahedral graph:

sage: g = graphs.IcosahedralGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

Create several icosahedral graphs in a Sage graphics array. They will be drawn differently due to the use of the spring-layout algorithm:

sage: # needs sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):

....:     for m in range(3):
....:         n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:     j.append(n)
sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time
static IntersectionGraph(S)#

Return the intersection graph of the family \(S\)

The intersection graph of a family \(S\) is a graph \(G\) with \(V(G)=S\) such that two elements \(s_1,s_2\in S\) are adjacent in \(G\) if and only if \(s_1\cap s_2\neq \emptyset\).

INPUT:

  • S – a list of sets/tuples/iterables

    Note

    The elements of \(S\) must be finite, hashable, and the elements of any \(s\in S\) must be hashable too.

EXAMPLES:

sage: graphs.IntersectionGraph([(1,2,3),(3,4,5),(5,6,7)])
Intersection Graph: Graph on 3 vertices
static IntervalGraph(intervals, points_ordered=False)#

Return the graph corresponding to the given intervals.

An interval graph is built from a list \((a_i,b_i)_{1\leq i \leq n}\) of intervals : to each interval of the list is associated one vertex, two vertices being adjacent if the two corresponding (closed) intervals intersect.

INPUT:

  • intervals – the list of pairs \((a_i,b_i)\) defining the graph.

  • points_ordered – states whether every interval \((a_i,b_i)\) of \(intervals\) satisfies \(a_i<b_i\). If satisfied then setting points_ordered to True will speed up the creation of the graph.

Note

  • The vertices are named 0, 1, 2, and so on. The intervals used to create the graph are saved with the graph and can be recovered using get_vertex() or get_vertices().

EXAMPLES:

The following line creates the sequence of intervals \((i, i+2)\) for i in \([0, ..., 8]\):

sage: intervals = [(i,i+2) for i in range(9)]

In the corresponding graph

sage: g = graphs.IntervalGraph(intervals)
sage: g.get_vertex(3)
(3, 5)
sage: neigh = g.neighbors(3)
sage: for v in neigh: print(g.get_vertex(v))
(1, 3)
(2, 4)
(4, 6)
(5, 7)

The is_interval() method verifies that this graph is an interval graph.

sage: g.is_interval()
True

The intervals in the list need not be distinct.

sage: intervals = [ (1,2), (1,2), (1,2), (2,3), (3,4) ]
sage: g = graphs.IntervalGraph(intervals,True)
sage: g.clique_maximum()
[0, 1, 2, 3]
sage: g.get_vertices()
{0: (1, 2), 1: (1, 2), 2: (1, 2), 3: (2, 3), 4: (3, 4)}

The endpoints of the intervals are not ordered we get the same graph (except for the vertex labels).

sage: rev_intervals = [ (2,1), (2,1), (2,1), (3,2), (4,3) ]
sage: h = graphs.IntervalGraph(rev_intervals,False)
sage: h.get_vertices()
{0: (2, 1), 1: (2, 1), 2: (2, 1), 3: (3, 2), 4: (4, 3)}
sage: g.edges(sort=True) == h.edges(sort=True)
True
static IoninKharaghani765Graph()#

Return a \((765, 192, 48, 48)\)-strongly regular graph.

Existence of a strongly regular graph with these parameters was claimed in [IK2003]. Implementing the construction in the latter did not work, however. This function implements the following instructions, shared by Yury Ionin and Hadi Kharaghani.

Let \(A\) be the affine plane over the field \(GF(3)=\{-1,0,1\}\). Let

\[\begin{split}\phi_1(x,y) &= x\\ \phi_2(x,y) &= y\\ \phi_3(x,y) &= x+y\\ \phi_4(x,y) &= x-y\\\end{split}\]

For \(i=1,2,3,4\) and \(j\in GF(3)\), let \(L_{i,j}\) be the line in \(A\) defined by \(\phi_i(x,y)=j\). Let \(\mathcal M\) be the set of all 12 lines \(L_{i,j}\), plus the empty set. Let \(\pi\) be the permutation defined on \(\mathcal M\) by \(\pi(L_{i,j}) = L_{i,j+1}\) and \(\pi(\emptyset) = \emptyset\), so that \(\pi\) has three orbits of cardinality 3 and one of cardinality 1.

Let \(A=(p_1,...,p_9)\) with \(p_1=(-1,1)\), \(p_2=(-1,0)\), \(p_3=(-1,1)\), \(p_4=(0,-1)\), \(p_5=(0,0)\), \(p_6=(0,1)\), \(p_7=(1,-1)\), \(p_8=(1,0)\), \(p_9=(1,1)\). Note that \(p_i+p_{10-i}=(0,0)\). For any subset \(X\) of \(A\), let \(M(X)\) be the \((0,1)\)-matrix of order 9 whose \((i,j)\)-entry equals 1 if and only if \(p_{10-i}-p_j\in X\). Note that \(M\) is a symmetric matrix.

An \(MF\)-tuple is an ordered quintuple \((X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5)\) of subsets of \(A\), of which one is the empty set and the other four are pairwise non-parallel lines. Such a quintuple generates the following block matrix:

\[\begin{split}N(X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5) = \left( \begin{array}{ccccc} M(X_1) & M(X_2) & M(X_3) & M(X_4) & M(X_5)\\ M(X_2) & M(X_3) & M(X_4) & M(X_5) & M(X_1)\\ M(X_3) & M(X_4) & M(X_5) & M(X_1) & M(X_2)\\ M(X_4) & M(X_5) & M(X_1) & M(X_2) & M(X_3)\\ M(X_5) & M(X_1) & M(X_2) & M(X_3) & M(X_4) \end{array}\right)\end{split}\]

Observe that if \((X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5)\) is an \(MF\)-tuple, then \(N(X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5)\) is the symmetric incidence matrix of a symmetric \((45, 12, 3)\)-design.

Let \(\mathcal F\) be the set of all \(MF\)-tuples and let \(\sigma\) be the following permutation of \(\mathcal F\):

\[\begin{split}\sigma(X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5) & = (X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5, X_1)\\ \pi(X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5) & = (\pi(X_1), \pi(X_2), \pi(X_3), \pi(X_4), \pi(X_5))\\\end{split}\]

Observe that \(\sigma\) and \(\pi\) commute, and generate a (cyclic) group \(G\) of order 15. We will from now on identify \(G\) with the (cyclic) multiplicative group of the field \(GF(16)\) equal to \(\{\omega^0,...,\omega^{14}\}\). Let \(W=[w_{ij}]\) be the following matrix of order 17 over \(GF(16)=\{a_1,...,a_16\}\):

\[\begin{split}w_{ij}=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} a_i+a_j & \text{if }1\leq i\leq 16, 1\leq j\leq 16,\\ 1 & \text{if }i=17, j\neq 17,\\ 1 & \text{if }i\neq 17, j= 17,\\ 0 & \text{if }i=j=17 \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

The diagonal entries of \(W\) are equal to 0, each off-diagonal entry can be represented as \(\omega^k\) with \(0\leq k\leq 14\). Matrix \(W\) is a symmetric \(BGW(17,16,15; G)\).

Fix an \(MF\)-tuple \((X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5)\) and let \(S\) be the block matrix obtained from \(W\) by replacing every diagonal entry of \(W\) by the zero matrix of order 45, and every off-diagonal entry \(\omega^k\) by the matrix \(N(\sigma^k(X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5))\) (through the association of \(\omega^k\) with an element of \(G\)). Then \(S\) is a symmetric incidence matrix of a symmetric \((765, 192, 48)\)-design with zero diagonal, and therefore \(S\) is an adjacency matrix of a strongly regular graph with parameters \((765, 192, 48, 48)\).

static JohnsonGraph(n, k)#

Returns the Johnson graph with parameters \(n, k\).

Johnson graphs are a special class of undirected graphs defined from systems of sets. The vertices of the Johnson graph \(J(n,k)\) are the \(k\)-element subsets of an \(n\)-element set; two vertices are adjacent when they meet in a \((k-1)\)-element set. See the Wikipedia article Johnson_graph for more information.

The d-dimensional King Graph with \(d >= 2\) has for vertex set the cells of a d-dimensional grid with prescribed dimensions, and each edge corresponds to a legal move by a king in either one or two dimensions.

All 2-dimensional King Graphs are Hamiltonian, biconnected, and have chromatic number 4 as soon as both dimensions are larger or equal to 2.

INPUT:

  • dim_list – iterable (list, set, dict); provides the dimensions \(n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_d\), with \(n_i \geq 1\), of the chessboard

  • radius – integer (default: None); by setting the radius to a positive integer, one may increase the power of the king to at least radius steps. When the radius equals the higher size of the dimensions, the resulting graph is a Queen Graph.

  • relabel – boolean (default: False); indicates whether the vertices must be relabeled as integers

static KrackhardtKiteGraph()#

Return a Krackhardt kite graph with 10 nodes.

The Krackhardt kite graph was originally developed by David Krackhardt for the purpose of studying social networks (see [Kre2002] and the Wikipedia article Krackhardt_kite_graph). It is used to show the distinction between degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and closeness centrality. For more information read the plotting section below in conjunction with the example.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the graph is drawn left to right, in top to bottom row sequence of [2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1] nodes on each row. This places the fourth node (3) in the center of the kite, with the highest degree. But the fourth node only connects nodes that are otherwise connected, or those in its clique (i.e.: Degree Centrality). The eighth (7) node is where the kite meets the tail. It has degree = 3, less than the average, but is the only connection between the kite and tail (i.e.: Betweenness Centrality). The sixth and seventh nodes (5 and 6) are drawn in the third row and have degree = 5. These nodes have the shortest path to all other nodes in the graph (i.e.: Closeness Centrality). Please execute the example for visualization.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a Krackhardt kite graph

sage: g = graphs.KrackhardtKiteGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static LCFGraph(n, shift_list, repeats)#

Return the cubic graph specified in LCF notation.

LCF (Lederberg-Coxeter-Fruchte) notation is a concise way of describing cubic Hamiltonian graphs. The way a graph is constructed is as follows. Since there is a Hamiltonian cycle, we first create a cycle on n nodes. The variable shift_list = [s_0, s_1, …, s_k-1] describes edges to be created by the following scheme: for each i, connect vertex i to vertex (i + s_i). Then, repeats specifies the number of times to repeat this process, where on the jth repeat we connect vertex (i + j*len(shift_list)) to vertex ( i + j*len(shift_list) + s_i).

INPUT:

  • n – the number of nodes.

  • shift_list – a list of integer shifts mod \(n\).

  • repeats – the number of times to repeat the process.

EXAMPLES:

static LadderGraph(n)#

Return a ladder graph with \(2 * n\) nodes.

A ladder graph is a basic structure that is typically displayed as a ladder, i.e.: two parallel path graphs connected at each corresponding node pair.

Construct strongly regular graphs from p.97 of [BL1984].

static MathonPseudocyclicStronglyRegularGraph(t, G=None, L=None)#

Return a strongly regular graph on \((4t+1)(4t-1)^2\) vertices from [Mat1978].

Let \(4t-1\) be a prime power, and \(4t+1\) be such that there exists a strongly regular graph \(G\) with parameters \((4t+1,2t,t-1,t)\). In particular, \(4t+1\) must be a sum of two squares [Mat1978]. With this input, Mathon [Mat1978] gives a construction of a strongly regular graph with parameters \((4 \mu + 1, 2 \mu, \mu-1, \mu)\), where \(\mu = t(4t(4t-1)-1)\). The construction is optionally parametrised by an a skew-symmetric Latin square of order \(4t+1\), with entries in \(-2t,...,-1,0,1,...,2t\).

Our implementation follows a description given in [ST1981].

INPUT:

  • t – a positive integer

  • G – if None (default), try to construct the necessary graph with parameters \((4t+1,2t,t-1,t)\), otherwise use the user-supplied one, with vertices labelled from \(0\) to \(4t\).

  • L – if None (default), construct a necessary skew Latin square, otherwise use the user-supplied one. Here non-isomorphic Latin squares – one constructed from \(Z/9Z\), and the other from \((Z/3Z)^2\) – lead to non-isomorphic graphs.

EXAMPLES:

Using default G and L.

static MuzychukS6Graph(n, d, Phi='fixed', Sigma='fixed', verbose=False)#

Return a strongly regular graph of S6 type from [Muz2007] on \(n^d((n^d-1)/(n-1)+1)\) vertices.

The construction depends upon a number of parameters, two of them, \(n\) and \(d\), mandatory, and \(\Phi\) and \(\Sigma\) mappings defined in [Muz2007]. These graphs have parameters \((mn^d, n^{d-1}(m-1) - 1,\mu - 2,\mu)\), where \(\mu=\frac{n^{d-1}-1}{n-1}n^{d-1}\) and \(m:=\frac{n^d-1}{n-1}+1\).

Some details on \(\Phi\) and \(\Sigma\) are as follows. Let \(L\) be the complete graph on \(M:=\{0,..., m-1\}\) with the matching \(\{(2i,2i+1) | i=0,...,m/2\}\) removed. Then one arbitrarily chooses injections \(\Phi_i\) from the edges of \(L\) on \(i \in M\) into sets of parallel classes of affine \(d\)-dimensional designs; our implementation uses the designs of hyperplanes in \(d\)-dimensional affine geometries over \(GF(n)\). Finally, for each edge \(ij\) of \(L\) one arbitrarily chooses bijections \(\Sigma_{ij}\) between \(\Phi_i\) and \(\Phi_j\). More details, in particular how these choices lead to non-isomorphic graphs, are in [Muz2007].

INPUT:

  • n (integer) – a prime power

  • d (integer) – must be odd if \(n\) is odd

  • Phi is an optional parameter of the construction; it must be either

    • 'fixed' – this will generate fixed default \(\Phi_i\), for \(i \in M\), or

    • 'random'\(\Phi_i\) are generated at random, or

    • A dictionary describing the functions \(\Phi_i\); for \(i \in M\), Phi[(i, T)] in \(M\), for each edge T of \(L\) on \(i\). Also, each \(\Phi_i\) must be injective.

  • Sigma is an optional parameter of the construction; it must be either

    • 'fixed' – this will generate a fixed default \(\Sigma\), or

    • 'random'\(\Sigma\) is generated at random.

  • verbose (Boolean) – default is False. If True, print progress information

static MycielskiGraph(k=1, relabel=True)#

Returns the \(k\)-th Mycielski Graph.

The graph \(M_k\) is triangle-free and has chromatic number equal to \(k\). These graphs show, constructively, that there are triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily high chromatic number.

The Mycielski graphs are built recursively starting with \(M_0\), an empty graph; \(M_1\), a single vertex graph; and \(M_2\) is the graph \(K_2\). \(M_{k+1}\) is then built from \(M_k\) as follows:

If the vertices of \(M_k\) are \(v_1,\ldots,v_n\), then the vertices of \(M_{k+1}\) are \(v_1,\ldots,v_n,w_1,\ldots,w_n,z\). Vertices \(v_1,\ldots,v_n\) induce a copy of \(M_k\). Vertices \(w_1,\ldots,w_n\) are an independent set. Vertex \(z\) is adjacent to all the \(w_i\)-vertices. Finally, vertex \(w_i\) is adjacent to vertex \(v_j\) iff \(v_i\) is adjacent to \(v_j\).

INPUT:

  • k Number of steps in the construction process.

  • relabel Relabel the vertices so their names are the integers range(n) where n is the number of vertices in the graph.

EXAMPLES:

The Mycielski graph \(M_k\) is triangle-free and has chromatic number equal to \(k\).

sage: g = graphs.MycielskiGraph(5)

static NKStarGraph(n, k)#

Returns the (n,k)-star graph.

The vertices of the (n,k)-star graph are the set of all arrangements of n symbols into labels of length k. There are two adjacency rules for the (n,k)-star graph. First, two vertices are adjacent if one can be obtained from the other by swapping the first symbol with another symbol. Second, two vertices are adjacent if one can be obtained from the other by swapping the first symbol with an external symbol (a symbol not used in the original label).

Return the Graph \(NO^{\epsilon,\perp}_{m}(q)\)

Let the vectorspace of dimension \(m\) over \(F_q\) be endowed with a nondegenerate quadratic form \(F\), of type sign for \(m\) even.

  • \(m\) even: assume further that \(q=2\) or \(3\). Returns the graph of the points (in the underlying projective space) \(x\) satisfying \(F(x)=1\), with adjacency given by orthogonality w.r.t. \(F\). Parameter perp is ignored.

  • \(m\) odd: if perp is not None, then we assume that \(q=5\) and return the graph of the points \(x\) satisfying \(F(x)=\pm 1\) if sign="+", respectively \(F(x) \in \{2,3\}\) if sign="-", with adjacency given by orthogonality w.r.t. \(F\) (cf. Sect 7.D of [BL1984]). Otherwise return the graph of nongenerate hyperplanes of type sign, adjacent whenever the intersection is degenerate (cf. Sect. 7.C of [BL1984]). Note that for \(q=2\) one will get a complete graph.

For more information, see Sect. 9.9 of [BH2012] and [BL1984]. Note that the page of Andries Brouwer’s website uses different notation.

static Nowhere0WordsTwoWeightCodeGraph(q, hyperoval=None, field=None, check_hyperoval=True)#

Return the subgraph of nowhere 0 words from two-weight code of projective plane hyperoval.

Let \(q=2^k\) and \(\Pi=PG(2,q)\). Fix a hyperoval \(O \subset \Pi\). Let \(V=F_q^3\) and \(C\) the two-weight 3-dimensional linear code over \(F_q\) with words \(c(v)\) obtained from \(v\in V\) by computing

\[c(v)=(\langle v,o_1 \rangle,...,\langle v,o_{q+2} \rangle), o_j \in O.\]

\(C\) contains \(q(q-1)^2/2\) words without 0 entries. The subgraph of the strongly regular graph of \(C\) induced on the latter words is also strongly regular, assuming \(q>4\). This is a construction due to A.E.Brouwer [Bro2016], and leads to graphs with parameters also given by a construction in [HHL2009]. According to [Bro2016], these two constructions are likely to produce isomorphic graphs.

INPUT:

  • q – a power of two

  • hyperoval – a hyperoval (i.e. a complete 2-arc; a set of points in the plane meeting every line in 0 or 2 points) in \(PG(2,q)\) over the field field. Each point of hyperoval must be a length 3 vector over field with 1st non-0 coordinate equal to 1. By default, hyperoval and field are not specified, and constructed on the fly. In particular, hyperoval we build is the classical one, i.e. a conic with the point of intersection of its tangent lines.

  • field – an instance of a finite field of order \(q\), must be provided if hyperoval is provided.

  • check_hyperoval – boolean (default: True); whether to check hyperoval for correctness or not

static OctahedralGraph()#

Return an Octahedral graph (with 6 nodes).

The regular octahedron is an 8-sided polyhedron with triangular faces. The octahedral graph corresponds to the connectivity of the vertices of the octahedron. It is the line graph of the tetrahedral graph. The octahedral is symmetric, so the spring-layout algorithm will be very effective for display.

PLOTTING: The Octahedral graph should be viewed in 3 dimensions. We choose to use a planar embedding of the graph. We hope to add rotatable, 3-dimensional viewing in the future. In such a case, a argument will be added to select the desired layout.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show an Octahedral graph:

sage: g = graphs.OctahedralGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

Create several octahedral graphs in a Sage graphics array They will be drawn differently due to the use of the spring-layout algorithm:

sage: # needs sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:     k = graphs.OctahedralGraph()
....:     g.append(k)

The Odd Graph with parameter \(n\) is defined as the Kneser Graph with parameters \(2n-1,n-1\). Equivalently, the Odd Graph is the graph whose vertices are the \(n-1\)-subsets of \([0,1,\dots,2(n-1)]\), and such that two vertices are adjacent if their corresponding sets are disjoint.

For example, the Petersen Graph can be defined as the Odd Graph with parameter \(3\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: OG = graphs.OddGraph(3)
sage: sorted(OG.vertex_iterator(), key=str)
[{1, 2}, {1, 3}, {1, 4}, {1, 5}, {2, 3}, {2, 4}, {2, 5},
 {3, 4}, {3, 5}, {4, 5}]
sage: P = graphs.PetersenGraph()
sage: P.is_isomorphic(OG)
True
static OrthogonalArrayBlockGraph(k, n, OA=None)#

Return the graph of an \(OA(k,n)\).

The intersection graph of the blocks of a transversal design with parameters \((k,n)\), or \(TD(k,n)\) for short, is a strongly regular graph (unless it is a complete graph). Its parameters \((v,k',\lambda,\mu)\) are determined by the parameters \(k,n\) via:

\[v=n^2, k'=k(n-1), \lambda=(k-1)(k-2)+n-2, \mu=k(k-1)\]

As transversal designs and orthogonal arrays (OA for short) are equivalent objects, this graph can also be built from the blocks of an \(OA(k,n)\), two of them being adjacent if one of their coordinates match.

For more information on these graphs, see Andries Brouwer’s page on Orthogonal Array graphs.

Warning

  • Brouwer’s website uses the notation \(OA(n,k)\) instead of \(OA(k,n)\)

  • For given parameters \(k\) and \(n\) there can be many \(OA(k,n)\) : the graphs returned are not uniquely defined by their parameters (see the examples below).

  • If the function is called only with the parameter k and n the results might be different with two versions of Sage, or even worse : some could not be available anymore.

INPUT:

  • k,n (integers)

  • OA – An orthogonal array. If set to None (default) then orthogonal_array() is called to compute an \(OA(k,n)\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sage.modules
sage: G = graphs.OrthogonalArrayBlockGraph(5,5); G                              # needs sage.schemes
OA(5,5): Graph on 25 vertices
sage: G.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)                                    # needs sage.schemes
(25, 20, 15, 20)
sage: G = graphs.OrthogonalArrayBlockGraph(4,10); G
OA(4,10): Graph on 100 vertices
sage: G.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)
(100, 36, 14, 12)

Two graphs built from different orthogonal arrays are also different:

sage: # needs sage.modules
sage: k = 4; n = 10
sage: OAa = designs.orthogonal_arrays.build(k,n)
sage: OAb = [[(x+1)%n for x in R] for R in OAa]
sage: set(map(tuple,OAa)) == set(map(tuple,OAb))
False
sage: Ga = graphs.OrthogonalArrayBlockGraph(k, n, OAa)
sage: Gb = graphs.OrthogonalArrayBlockGraph(k, n, OAb)
sage: Ga == Gb
False

As OAb was obtained from OAa by a relabelling the two graphs are isomorphic:

sage: Ga.is_isomorphic(Gb)                                                      # needs sage.modules
True

But there are examples of \(OA(k,n)\) for which the resulting graphs are not isomorphic:

sage: oa0 = [[0, 0, 1], [0, 1, 3], [0, 2, 0], [0, 3, 2],
....:        [1, 0, 3], [1, 1, 1], [1, 2, 2], [1, 3, 0],
....:        [2, 0, 0], [2, 1, 2], [2, 2, 1], [2, 3, 3],
....:        [3, 0, 2], [3, 1, 0], [3, 2, 3], [3, 3, 1]]
sage: oa1 = [[0, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [0, 2, 3], [0, 3, 2],
....:        [1, 0, 3], [1, 1, 2], [1, 2, 0], [1, 3, 1],
....:        [2, 0, 0], [2, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2], [2, 3, 3],
....:        [3, 0, 2], [3, 1, 3], [3, 2, 1], [3, 3, 0]]
sage: g0 = graphs.OrthogonalArrayBlockGraph(3, 4, oa0)                          # needs sage.modules
sage: g1 = graphs.OrthogonalArrayBlockGraph(3, 4, oa1)                          # needs sage.modules
sage: g0.is_isomorphic(g1)                                                      # needs sage.modules
False

But nevertheless isospectral:

sage: g0.spectrum()                                                             # needs sage.modules sage.rings.number_field
[9, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, -3, -3, -3, -3, -3, -3]
sage: g1.spectrum()                                                             # needs sage.modules sage.rings.number_field
[9, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, -3, -3, -3, -3, -3, -3]

Note that the graph g0 is actually isomorphic to the affine polar graph \(VO^+(4,2)\):

sage: graphs.AffineOrthogonalPolarGraph(4,2,'+').is_isomorphic(g0)              # needs sage.libs.gap sage.modules
True
static OrthogonalDualPolarGraph(e, d, q)#

Return the dual polar graph on \(GO^e(n,q)\) of diameter \(d\).

The value of \(n\) is determined by \(d\) and \(e\).

The graph is distance-regular with classical parameters \((d, q, 0, q^e)\).

INPUT:

  • e – integer; type of the orthogonal polar space to consider; must be \(-1, 0\) or \(1\).

static PaleyGraph(q)#

Paley graph with \(q\) vertices

Parameter \(q\) must be the power of a prime number and congruent to 1 mod 4.

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.PaleyGraph(9); G                                               # needs sage.rings.finite_rings

A Paley graph is always self-complementary:

static PathGraph(n, pos=None)#

Return a path graph with \(n\) nodes.

A path graph is a graph where all inner nodes are connected to their two neighbors and the two end-nodes are connected to their one inner neighbors (i.e.: a cycle graph without the first and last node connected).

INPUT:

  • n – number of nodes of the path graph

  • pos – string (default: None); indicates the embedding to use between ‘circle’, ‘line’ or the default algorithm. See the plotting section below for more detail.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the graph may be drawn in one of two ways: The ‘line’ argument will draw the graph in a horizontal line (left to right) if there are less than 11 nodes. Otherwise the ‘line’ argument will append horizontal lines of length 10 nodes below, alternating left to right and right to left. The ‘circle’ argument will cause the graph to be drawn in a cycle-shape, with the first node at the top and then about the circle in a clockwise manner. By default (without an appropriate string argument) the graph will be drawn as a ‘circle’ if \(10 < n < 41\) and as a ‘line’ for all other \(n\).

EXAMPLES: Show default drawing by size: ‘line’: \(n \leq 10\)

sage: p = graphs.PathGraph(10)
sage: p.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

‘circle’: \(10 < n < 41\)

sage: q = graphs.PathGraph(25)
sage: q.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

‘line’: \(n \geq 41\)

sage: r = graphs.PathGraph(55)
sage: r.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

Override the default drawing:

sage: s = graphs.PathGraph(5,'circle')
sage: s.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static PerkelGraph()#

Return the Perkel Graph.

The Perkel Graph is a 6-regular graph with \(57\) vertices and \(171\) edges. It is the unique distance-regular graph with intersection array \((6,5,2;1,1,3)\). For more information, see the Wikipedia article Perkel_graph or https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/graphs/Perkel.html.

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = graphs.PerkelGraph(); g

([6, 5, 2, None], [None, 1, 1, 3])
static PermutationGraph(second_permutation, first_permutation=None)#

Build a permutation graph from one permutation or from two lists.

Definition:

If \(\sigma\) is a permutation of \(\{ 1, 2, \ldots, n \}\), then the permutation graph of \(\sigma\) is the graph on vertex set \(\{ 1, 2, \ldots, n \}\) in which two vertices \(i\) and \(j\) satisfying \(i < j\) are connected by an edge if and only if \(\sigma^{-1}(i) > \sigma^{-1}(j)\). A visual way to construct this graph is as follows:

Take two horizontal lines in the euclidean plane, and mark points \(1, ..., n\) from left to right on the first of them. On the second one, still from left to right, mark \(n\) points \(\sigma(1), \sigma(2), \ldots, \sigma(n)\). Now, link by a segment the two points marked with \(1\), then link together the points marked with \(2\), and so on. The permutation graph of \(\sigma\) is the intersection graph of those segments: there exists a vertex in this graph for each element from \(1\) to \(n\), two vertices \(i, j\) being adjacent if the segments \(i\) and \(j\) cross each other.

The set of edges of the permutation graph can thus be identified with the set of inversions of the inverse of the given permutation \(\sigma\).

A more general notion of permutation graph can be defined as follows: If \(S\) is a set, and \((a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n)\) and \((b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n)\) are two lists of elements of \(S\), each of which lists contains every element of \(S\) exactly once, then the permutation graph defined by these two lists is the graph on the vertex set \(S\) in which two vertices \(i\) and \(j\) are connected by an edge if and only if the order in which these vertices appear in the list \((a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n)\) is the opposite of the order in which they appear in the list \((b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n)\). When \((a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n) = (1, 2, \ldots, n)\), this graph is the permutation graph of the permutation \((b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n) \in S_n\). Notice that \(S\) does not have to be a set of integers here, but can be a set of strings, tuples, or anything else. We can still use the above visual description to construct the permutation graph, but now we have to mark points \(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n\) from left to right on the first horizontal line and points \(b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n\) from left to right on the second horizontal line.

INPUT:

  • second_permutation – the unique permutation/list defining the graph, or the second of the two (if the graph is to be built from two permutations/lists).

  • first_permutation (optional) – the first of the two permutations/lists from which the graph should be built, if it is to be built from two permutations/lists.

    When first_permutation is None (default), it is set to be equal to sorted(second_permutation), which yields the expected ordering when the elements of the graph are integers.

  • Drawings of permutation graphs as intersection graphs of segments is possible through the show() method of Permutation objects.

    The correct argument to use in this case is show(representation = "braid").

static PetersenGraph()#

Return the Petersen Graph.

The Petersen Graph is a named graph that consists of 10 vertices and 15 edges, usually drawn as a five-point star embedded in a pentagon.

The Petersen Graph is a common counterexample. For example, it is not Hamiltonian.

PLOTTING: See the plotting section for the generalized Petersen graphs.

EXAMPLES: We compare below the Petersen graph with the default spring-layout versus a planned position dictionary of \((x, y)\) tuples:

sage: petersen_spring = Graph({0:[1,4,5], 1:[0,2,6], 2:[1,3,7],
....:                          3:[2,4,8], 4:[0,3,9], 5:[0,7,8],

sage: petersen_database.show()          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static PoussinGraph()#

True
static QueenGraph(dim_list, radius=None, relabel=False)#

Return the \(d\)-dimensional Queen Graph with prescribed dimensions.

The 2-dimensional Queen Graph of parameters \(n\) and \(m\) is a graph with \(nm\) vertices in which each vertex represents a square in an \(n \times m\) chessboard, and each edge corresponds to a legal move by a queen.

The \(d\)-dimensional Queen Graph with \(d >= 2\) has for vertex set the cells of a \(d\)-dimensional grid with prescribed dimensions, and each edge corresponds to a legal move by a queen in either one or two dimensions.

All 2-dimensional Queen Graphs are Hamiltonian and biconnected. The chromatic number of a \((n,n)\)-Queen Graph is at least \(n\), and it is exactly \(n\) when \(n\equiv 1,5 \bmod{6}\).

INPUT:

  • dim_list – iterable (list, set, dict); provides the dimensions \(n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_d\), with \(n_i \geq 1\), of the chessboard

  • radius – integer (default: None); by setting the radius to a positive integer, one may reduce the visibility of the queen to at most radius steps. When radius is 1, the resulting graph is a King Graph.

  • relabel – boolean (default: False); indicates whether the vertices must be relabeled as integers

EXAMPLES:

The \((2,2)\)-Queen Graph is isomorphic to the complete graph on 4 vertices:

sage: G = graphs.QueenGraph([2, 2])
sage: G.is_isomorphic(graphs.CompleteGraph(4))
True

The Queen Graph with radius 1 is isomorphic to the King Graph:

sage: G = graphs.QueenGraph([4, 5], radius=1)
sage: H = graphs.KingGraph([5, 4])
sage: G.is_isomorphic(H)
True

Also True in higher dimensions:

sage: G = graphs.QueenGraph([3, 4, 5], radius=1)
sage: H = graphs.KingGraph([5, 3, 4])
sage: G.is_isomorphic(H)
True

The Queen Graph can be obtained from the Rook Graph and the Bishop Graph:

sage: for d in range(3,12):   # long time
....:     for r in range(1,d+1):
....:         G = graphs.QueenGraph([d,d],radius=r)

static RandomBarabasiAlbert(n, m, seed=None)#

Return a random graph created using the Barabasi-Albert preferential attachment model.

A graph with \(m\) vertices and no edges is initialized, and a graph of \(n\) vertices is grown by attaching new vertices each with \(m\) edges that are attached to existing vertices, preferentially with high degree.

INPUT:

  • n – number of vertices in the graph

  • m – number of edges to attach from each new node

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

EXAMPLES:

We show the edge list of a random graph on 6 nodes with \(m = 2\):

sage: G = graphs.RandomBarabasiAlbert(6,2)                                      # needs networkx
sage: G.order(), G.size()                                                       # needs networkx
(6, 8)
sage: G.degree_sequence()  # random                                             # needs networkx
[4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2]

We plot a random graph on 12 nodes with \(m = 3\):

sage: ba = graphs.RandomBarabasiAlbert(12,3)                                    # needs networkx
sage: ba.show()                         # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot

We view many random graphs using a graphics array:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(1,10):
....:     k = graphs.RandomBarabasiAlbert(i+3, 3)

sage: for i in range(3):
....:     n = []
....:     for m in range(3):
....:         n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))

static RandomBicubicPlanar(n, seed=None)#

Return the graph of a random bipartite cubic map with \(3 n\) edges.

INPUT:

\(n\) – an integer (at least \(1\))

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

OUTPUT:

a graph with multiple edges (no embedding is provided)

The algorithm used is described in [Sch1999]. This samples a random rooted bipartite cubic map, chosen uniformly at random.

First one creates a random binary tree with \(n\) vertices. Next one turns this into a blossoming tree (at random) and reads the contour word of this blossoming tree.

Then one performs a rotation on this word so that this becomes a balanced word. There are three ways to do that, one is picked at random. Then a graph is build from the balanced word by iterated closure (adding edges).

In the returned graph, the three edges incident to any given vertex are colored by the integers 0, 1 and 2.

INPUT:

  • n1, n2 – Cardinalities of the two sets

INPUT:

  • m – integer; number of blocks (at least one).

  • k – integer; minimum number of vertices of a block (at least two).

  • kmax – integer (default: None) By default, each block has \(k\) vertices. When the parameter \(kmax\) is specified (with \(kmax \geq k\)), the number of vertices of each block is randomly chosen between \(k\) and \(kmax\).

  • incidence_structure – boolean (default: False) when set to True, the incidence structure of the graphs is returned instead of the graph itself, that is the list of the lists of vertices in each block. This is useful for the creation of some hypergraphs.

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

OUTPUT:

A Graph when incidence_structure==False (default), and otherwise an incidence structure.

static RandomBoundedToleranceGraph(n, seed=None)#

Return a random bounded tolerance graph.

The random tolerance graph is built from a random bounded tolerance representation by using the function \(ToleranceGraph\). This representation is a list \(((l_0,r_0,t_0), (l_1,r_1,t_1), ..., (l_k,r_k,t_k))\) where \(k = n-1\) and \(I_i = (l_i,r_i)\) denotes a random interval and \(t_i\) a random positive value less than or equal to the length of the interval \(I_i\). The width of the representation is limited to \(n^2 * 2^n\).

Note

The tolerance representation used to create the graph can be recovered using get_vertex() or get_vertices().

INPUT:

  • n – number of vertices of the random graph.

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

EXAMPLES:

Every (bounded) tolerance graph is perfect. Hence, the chromatic number is equal to the clique number

sage: g = graphs.RandomBoundedToleranceGraph(8)
sage: g.clique_number() == g.chromatic_number()
True
static RandomChordalGraph(n, algorithm='growing', k=None, l=None, f=None, s=None, seed=None)#

Return a random chordal graph of order n.

A Graph \(G\) is said to be chordal if it contains no induced hole (a cycle of length at least 4). Equivalently, \(G\) is chordal if it has a perfect elimination orderings, if each minimal separator is a clique, or if it is the intersection graphs of subtrees of a tree. See the Wikipedia article Chordal_graph.

This generator implements the algorithms proposed in [SHET2018] for generating random chordal graphs as the intersection graph of \(n\) subtrees of a tree of order \(n\).

The returned graph is not necessarily connected.

INPUT:

  • n – integer; the number of nodes of the graph

  • algorithm – string (default: "growing"); the choice of the algorithm for randomly selecting \(n\) subtrees of a random tree of order \(n\). Possible choices are:

    • "growing" – for each subtree \(T_i\), the algorithm picks a size \(k_i\) randomly from \([1,k]\). Then a random node of \(T\) is chosen as the first node of \(T_i\). In each of the subsequent \(k_i - 1\) iterations, it picks a random node in the neighborhood of \(T_i\) and adds it to \(T_i\).

    • "connecting" – for each subtree \(T_i\), it first selects \(k_i\) nodes of \(T\), where \(k_i\) is a random integer from a Poisson distribution with mean \(l\). \(T_i\) is then generated to be the minimal subtree containing the selected \(k_i\) nodes. This implies that a subtree will most likely have many more nodes than those selected initially, and this must be taken into consideration when choosing \(l\).

    • "pruned" – for each subtree \(T_i\), it randomly selects a fraction \(f\) of the edges on the tree and removes them. The number of edges to delete, say \(l\), is calculated as \(\lfloor (n - 1) f \rfloor\), which will leave \(l + 1\) subtrees in total. Then, it determines the sizes of the \(l + 1\) subtrees and stores the distinct values. Finally, it picks a random size \(k_i\) from the set of largest \(100(1-s)\%\) of distinct values, and randomly chooses a subtree with size \(k_i\).

  • k – integer (default: None); maximum size of a subtree. If not specified (None), the maximum size is set to \(\sqrt{n}\). This parameter is used only when algorithm="growing". See growing_subtrees() for more details.

  • l – a strictly positive real number (default: None); mean of a Poisson distribution. If not specified, the mean in set to \(\log_2{n}\). This parameter is used only when algorithm="connecting". See connecting_nodes() for more details.

  • f – a rational number (default: None); the edge deletion fraction. This value must be chosen in \([0..1]\). If not specified, this parameter is set to \(\frac{1}{n-1}\). This parameter is used only when algorithm="pruned". See pruned_tree() for more details.

  • s – a real number between 0 and 1 (default: None); selection barrier for the size of trees. If not specified, this parameter is set to \(0.5\). This parameter is used only when algorithm="pruned". See pruned_tree() for more details.

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.graphs.generators.random import RandomChordalGraph
sage: T = RandomChordalGraph(20, algorithm="growing", k=5)
sage: T.is_chordal()
True
sage: T = RandomChordalGraph(20, algorithm="connecting", l=3)                   # needs numpy
sage: T.is_chordal()                                                            # needs numpy
True
sage: T = RandomChordalGraph(20, algorithm="pruned", f=1/3, s=.5)
sage: T.is_chordal()

static RandomGNM(n, m, dense=False, seed=None)#

Returns a graph randomly picked out of all graphs on n vertices with m edges.

INPUT:

  • n – number of vertices.

  • m – number of edges.

  • dense – whether to use NetworkX’s dense_gnm_random_graph() or gnm_random_graph()

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

EXAMPLES:

We show the edge list of a random graph on 5 nodes with 10 edges:

sage: graphs.RandomGNM(5, 10).edges(sort=True, labels=False)                    # needs networkx
[(0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (0, 4), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4)]

sage: gnm = graphs.RandomGNM(12, 12)                                            # needs networkx

static RandomGNP(n, p, seed=None, fast=True, algorithm='Sage')#

Returns a random graph on \(n\) nodes. Each edge is inserted independently with probability \(p\).

INPUT:

  • n – number of nodes of the graph

  • p – probability of an edge

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

  • fast – boolean set to True (default) to use the algorithm with time complexity in \(O(n+m)\) proposed in [BB2005a]. It is designed for generating large sparse graphs. It is faster than other algorithms for LARGE instances (try it to know whether it is useful for you).

  • algorithm – By default (algorithm='Sage'), this function uses the algorithm implemented in `sage.graphs.graph_generators_pyx.pyx. When algorithm='networkx', this function calls the NetworkX function fast_gnp_random_graph, unless fast=False, then gnp_random_graph. Try them to know which algorithm is the best for you. The fast parameter is not taken into account by the ‘Sage’ algorithm so far.

static RandomHolmeKim(n, m, p, seed=None)#

Return a random graph generated by the Holme and Kim algorithm for graphs with power law degree distribution and approximate average clustering.

INPUT:

  • n – number of vertices

  • m – number of random edges to add for each new node

  • p – probability of adding a triangle after adding a random edge

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

From the NetworkX documentation: the average clustering has a hard time getting above a certain cutoff that depends on \(m\). This cutoff is often quite low. Note that the transitivity (fraction of triangles to possible triangles) seems to go down with network size. It is essentially the Barabasi-Albert growth model with an extra step that each random edge is followed by a chance of making an edge to one of its neighbors too (and thus a triangle). This algorithm improves on B-A in the sense that it enables a higher average clustering to be attained if desired. It seems possible to have a disconnected graph with this algorithm since the initial \(m\) nodes may not be all linked to a new node on the first iteration like the BA model.

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.RandomHolmeKim(12, 3, .3)                                      # needs networkx

static RandomIntervalGraph(n, seed=None)#

Returns a random interval graph.

An interval graph is built from a list \((a_i,b_i)_{1\leq i \leq n}\) of intervals : to each interval of the list is associated one vertex, two vertices being adjacent if the two corresponding intervals intersect.

A random interval graph of order \(n\) is generated by picking random values for the \((a_i,b_j)\), each of the two coordinates being generated from the uniform distribution on the interval \([0,1]\).

This definitions follows [BF2001].

Note

The vertices are named 0, 1, 2, and so on. The intervals used to create the graph are saved with the graph and can be recovered using get_vertex() or get_vertices().

INPUT:

static RandomKTree(n, k, seed=None)#

Return a random \(k\)-tree on \(n\) nodes numbered \(0\) through \(n-1\).

ALGORITHM:

The algorithm first generates a complete graph on \(k + 1\) vertices. Vertices are subsequently generated by randomly choosing one of the existing cliques in the graph, and creating a new clique by replacing one of the vertices in the selected clique with a newly created one.

INPUT:

  • n – number of vertices in the \(k\)-tree

  • k – within a clique each vertex is connected to \(k\) vertices. \(k\) also corresponds to the treewidth of the \(k\)-tree

static RandomNewmanWattsStrogatz(n, k, p, seed=None)#

Return a Newman-Watts-Strogatz small world random graph on \(n\) vertices.

From the NetworkX documentation: first create a ring over \(n\) nodes. Then each node in the ring is connected with its \(k\) nearest neighbors. Then shortcuts are created by adding new edges as follows: for each edge \(u-v\) in the underlying “\(n\)-ring with \(k\) nearest neighbors”; with probability \(p\) add a new edge \(u-w\) with randomly-chosen existing node \(w\). In contrast with networkx.watts_strogatz_graph(), no edges are removed.

static RandomRegularBipartite(n1, n2, d1, set_position=False, seed=None)#

Return a random regular bipartite graph on \(n1 + n2\) vertices.

The bipartite graph has \(n1 * d1\) edges. Hence, \(n2\) must divide \(n1 * d1\). Each vertex of the set of cardinality \(n1\) has degree \(d1\) (which can be at most \(n2\)) and each vertex in the set of cardinality \(n2\) has degree \((n1 * d1) / n2\). The bipartite graph has no multiple edges.

This generator implements an algorithm inspired by that of [MW1990] for the uniform generation of random regular bipartite graphs. It performs well when \(d1 = o(n2^{1/3})\) or (\(n2 - d1 = o(n2^{1/3})\)). In other cases, the running time can be huge. Note that the currently implemented algorithm does not generate uniformly random graphs.

INPUT:

  • n1, n2 – number of vertices in each side

  • d1 – degree of the vertices in the set of cardinality \(n1\).

  • set_position – boolean (default False); if set to True, we assign positions to the vertices so that the set of cardinality \(n1\) is on the line \(y=1\) and the set of cardinality \(n2\) is on the line \(y=0\).

sage: G = graphs.RandomShell([(10,20,0.8),(20,40,0.8)])                         # needs networkx
sage: G.order(), G.size()                                                       # needs networkx
(30, 52)
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs networkx sage.plot
static RandomToleranceGraph(n, seed=None)#

Return a random tolerance graph.

The random tolerance graph is built from a random tolerance representation by using the function \(ToleranceGraph\). This representation is a list \(((l_0,r_0,t_0), (l_1,r_1,t_1), ..., (l_k,r_k,t_k))\) where \(k = n-1\) and \(I_i = (l_i,r_i)\) denotes a random interval and \(t_i\) a random positive value. The width of the representation is limited to \(n^2 * 2^n\).

Note

The vertices are named 0, 1, …, n-1. The tolerance representation used to create the graph is saved with the graph and can be recovered using get_vertex() or get_vertices().

INPUT:

  • n – number of vertices of the random graph

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

EXAMPLES:

Every tolerance graph is perfect. Hence, the chromatic number is equal to the clique number

sage: g = graphs.RandomToleranceGraph(8)
sage: g.clique_number() == g.chromatic_number()
True
static RandomTree(n, seed=None)#

Returns a random tree on \(n\) nodes numbered \(0\) through \(n-1\).

By Cayley’s theorem, there are \(n^{n-2}\) trees with vertex set \(\{0,1,...,n-1\}\). This constructor chooses one of these uniformly at random.

ALGORITHM:

The algorithm works by generating an \((n-2)\)-long random sequence of numbers chosen independently and uniformly from \(\{0,1,\ldots,n-1\}\) and then applies an inverse Prufer transformation.

INPUT:

  • n – number of vertices in the tree

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.RandomTree(10)
sage: G.is_tree()
True
sage: G.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static RandomTreePowerlaw(n, gamma=3, tries=1000, seed=None)#

Return a tree with a power law degree distribution, or False on failure.

From the NetworkX documentation: a trial power law degree sequence is chosen and then elements are swapped with new elements from a power law distribution until the sequence makes a tree (size = order - 1).

INPUT:

  • n – number of vertices

  • gamma – exponent of power law distribution

  • tries – number of attempts to adjust sequence to make a tree

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

EXAMPLES:

We check that the generated graph is a tree:

sage: G = graphs.RandomTreePowerlaw(10, 3)                                      # needs networkx
sage: G.is_tree()                                                               # needs networkx
True
sage: G.order(), G.size()                                                       # needs networkx
(10, 9)
sage: G = graphs.RandomTreePowerlaw(15, 2)                                      # needs networkx
sage: if G:                             # random output         # long time, needs networkx sage.plot
....:     G.show()
static RandomTriangulation(n, set_position=False, k=3, seed=None)#

Return a random inner triangulation of an outer face of degree k with n vertices in total.

An inner triangulation is a plane graph all of whose faces (except the outer/unbounded face) are triangles (3-cycles).

INPUT:

  • n – the number of vertices of the graph

  • k – the size of the outer face

  • set_position – boolean (default False); if set to True, this will compute coordinates for a planar drawing of the graph.

  • seed – a random.Random seed or a Python int for the random number generator (default: None)

OUTPUT:

A random graph chosen uniformly among the inner triangulations of a rooted \(k\)-gon with \(n\) vertices (including the \(k\) vertices from the outer face). This is a planar graph and comes with a combinatorial embedding. The vertices of the root edge are labelled -1 and -2 and the outer face is the face returned by Graph.faces() in which -1 and -2 are consecutive vertices in this order.

Because some triangulations have nontrivial automorphism groups, this may not be equal to the uniform distribution among inner triangulations of unrooted \(k\)-gons.

ALGORITHM:

The algorithm is taken from [PS2006], Section 5.

Starting from a planar \(k\)-gonal forest (represented by its contour as a sequence of vertices), one performs local closures, until no one is possible. A local closure amounts to replace in the cyclic contour word a sequence in1, in2, in3, lf, in3 by in1, in3.

At every step of the algorithm, newly created edges are recorded in a graph, which will be returned at the end. The combinatorial embedding is also computed and recorded in the output graph.

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.RandomTriangulation(6, True); G
Graph on 6 vertices
sage: G.is_planar()
True
sage: G.girth()

sage: G.plot(vertex_size=0, vertex_labels=False)                                # needs sage.plot

sage: H = graphs.RandomTriangulation(7, k=5)

[3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 5]
static RandomUnitDiskGraph(n, radius=0.1, side=1, seed=None)#

Return a random unit disk graph of order \(n\).

A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of a family of unit disks in the Euclidean plane. That is a graph with one vertex per disk of the family and an edge between two vertices whenever they lie within a unit distance of each other. See the Wikipedia article Unit_disk_graph for more details.

INPUT:

  • n – number of nodes

  • radius – float (default: 0.1); two vertices at distance less than radius are connected by an edge

  • side – float (default: 1); indicate the side of the area in which the points are drawn

  • seed – seed of the random number generator

EXAMPLES:

When using twice the same seed, the vertices get the same positions:

sage: # needs scipy
sage: from sage.misc.randstate import current_randstate
sage: seed = current_randstate().seed()
sage: G = graphs.RandomUnitDiskGraph(20, radius=.5, side=1, seed=seed)
sage: H = graphs.RandomUnitDiskGraph(20, radius=.2, side=1, seed=seed)
sage: H.is_subgraph(G, induced=False)
True
sage: H.size() <= G.size()
True
sage: Gpos = G.get_pos()
sage: Hpos = H.get_pos()
sage: all(Gpos[u] == Hpos[u] for u in G)
True

When the radius is more than \(\sqrt{2 \text{side}}\), the graph is a clique:

sage: G = graphs.RandomUnitDiskGraph(10, radius=2, side=1)                      # needs scipy
sage: G.is_clique()                                                             # needs scipy
True
static RingedTree(k, vertex_labels=True)#

Return the ringed tree on k-levels.

A ringed tree of level \(k\) is a binary tree with \(k\) levels (counting the root as a level), in which all vertices at the same level are connected by a ring.

More precisely, in each layer of the binary tree (i.e. a layer is the set of vertices \([2^i...2^{i+1}-1]\)) two vertices \(u,v\) are adjacent if \(u=v+1\) or if \(u=2^i\) and \(v=`2^{i+1}-1\).

Ringed trees are defined in [CFHM2013].

INPUT:

  • k – the number of levels of the ringed tree.

  • vertex_labels (boolean) – whether to label vertices as binary words (default) or as integers.

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs networkx
sage: G = graphs.RingedTree(5)
sage: P = G.plot(vertex_labels=False, vertex_size=10)                           # needs sage.plot
sage: P.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

True
sage: g.is_vertex_transitive()

static RookGraph(dim_list, radius=None, relabel=False)#

Return the \(d\)-dimensional Rook’s Graph with prescribed dimensions.

The 2-dimensional Rook’s Graph of parameters \(n\) and \(m\) is a graph with \(nm\) vertices in which each vertex represents a square in an \(n \times m\) chessboard, and each edge corresponds to a legal move by a rook.

The \(d\)-dimensional Rook Graph with \(d >= 2\) has for vertex set the cells of a \(d\)-dimensional grid with prescribed dimensions, and each edge corresponds to a legal move by a rook in any of the dimensions.

The Rook’s Graph for an \(n\times m\) chessboard may also be defined as the Cartesian product of two complete graphs \(K_n \square K_m\).

INPUT:

  • dim_list – iterable (list, set, dict); provides the dimensions \(n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_d\), with \(n_i \geq 1\), of the chessboard

  • radius – integer (default: None); by setting the radius to a positive integer, one may decrease the power of the rook to at most radius steps. When the radius is 1, the resulting graph is a \(d\)-dimensional grid.

  • relabel – boolean (default: False); indicates whether the vertices must be relabeled as integers

EXAMPLES:

The \((n,m)\)-Rook’s Graph is isomorphic to the Cartesian product of two complete graphs:

sage: G = graphs.RookGraph( [3, 4] )
sage: H = ( graphs.CompleteGraph(3) ).cartesian_product( graphs.CompleteGraph(4) )
sage: G.is_isomorphic( H )
True

When the radius is 1, the Rook’s Graph is a grid:

sage: G = graphs.RookGraph( [3, 3, 4], radius=1 )
sage: H = graphs.GridGraph( [3, 4, 3] )
sage: G.is_isomorphic( H )
True
static RoseWindowGraph(n, a, r)#

Return a rose window graph with \(2n\) nodes.

The rose window graphs is a family of tetravalant graphs introduced in [Wilson2008]. The parameters \(n\), \(a\) and \(r\) are integers such that \(n > 2\), \(1 \leq a, r < n\), and \(r \neq n / 2\).

INPUT:

  • n – the number of nodes is \(2 * n\)

  • a – integer such that \(1 \leq a < n\) determining a-spoke edges

  • r – integer such that \(1 \leq r < n\) and \(r \neq n / 2\) determining how inner vertices are connected

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the rose window graphs are displayed as an inner and outer cycle pair, with the first n nodes drawn on the outer circle. The first (0) node is drawn at the top of the outer-circle, moving counterclockwise after that. The inner circle is drawn with the (n)th node at the top, then counterclockwise as well. Vertices in the outer circle are connected in the circular manner, vertices in the inner circle are connected when their label have difference \(r\) (mod n). Vertices on the outer rim are connected with the vertices on the inner rim when they are at the same position and when they are \(a\) apart.

EXAMPLES:

The vertices of a rose window graph have all degree 4:

sage: G = graphs.RoseWindowGraph(5, 1, 2)
sage: all(G.degree(u) == 4 for u in G)
True

For more information, see the MathWorld article on the Shrikhande graph or the Wikipedia article Shrikhande_graph.

See also

Graph.is_strongly_regular() – tests whether a graph is strongly regular and/or returns its parameters.

EXAMPLES:

The Shrikhande graph was defined by S. S. Shrikhande in 1959. It has \(16\) vertices and \(48\) edges, and is strongly regular of degree \(6\) with parameters \((2,2)\):

All vertices but 3 have valence 4.

INPUT:

OUTPUT:

All these graphs have a triangular shape, and three special vertices at top, bottom left and bottom right. These are the only vertices of valence 2, all the other ones having valence 4.

The graph \(S_1\) (generation \(1\)) is a triangle.

The graph \(S_{n+1}\) is obtained from the disjoint union of three copies A,B,C of \(S_n\) by identifying pairs of vertices: the top vertex of A with the bottom left vertex of B, the bottom right vertex of B with the top vertex of C, and the bottom left vertex of C with the bottom right vertex of A.

static StarGraph(n)#

Return a star graph with \(n + 1\) nodes.

A Star graph is a basic structure where one node is connected to all other nodes.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, each star graph will be displayed with the first (0) node in the center, the second node (1) at the top, with the rest following in a counterclockwise manner. (0) is the node connected to all other nodes.

The star graph is a good opportunity to compare efficiency of filling a position dictionary vs. using the spring-layout algorithm for plotting. As far as display, the spring-layout should push all other nodes away from the (0) node, and thus look very similar to this constructor’s positioning.

EXAMPLES:

sage: import networkx                                                           # needs networkx

Compare the plots:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: n = networkx.star_graph(23)
sage: spring23 = Graph(n)
sage: posdict23 = graphs.StarGraph(23)
sage: spring23.show()                   # long time
sage: posdict23.show()  # long time

sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time

Return the Symplectic Polar Graph \(Sp(d,q)\).

The Symplectic Polar Graph \(Sp(d,q)\) is built from a projective space of dimension \(d-1\) over a field \(F_q\), and a symplectic form \(f\). Two vertices \(u,v\) are made adjacent if \(f(u,v)=0\).

See the page on symplectic graphs on Andries Brouwer’s website.

INPUT:

  • d,q – integers; note that only even values of \(d\) are accepted by the function.

  • algorithm – string (default: None); if set to 'gap', then the computation is carried via GAP library interface, computing totally singular subspaces, which is faster for \(q>3\). Otherwise it is done directly.

EXAMPLES:

Computation of the spectrum of \(Sp(6,2)\):

sage: g = graphs.SymplecticPolarGraph(6, 2)
sage: g.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)
(63, 30, 13, 15)
sage: set(g.spectrum()) == {-5, 3, 30}                                          # needs sage.rings.number_field
True

The parameters of \(Sp(4,q)\) are the same as of \(O(5,q)\), but they are not isomorphic if \(q\) is odd:

sage: G = graphs.SymplecticPolarGraph(4, 3)
sage: G.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)

static T2starGeneralizedQuadrangleGraph(q, dual=False, hyperoval=None, field=None, check_hyperoval=True)#

Return the collinearity graph of the generalized quadrangle \(T_2^*(q)\), or of its dual

Let \(q=2^k\) and \(\Theta=PG(3,q)\). \(T_2^*(q)\) is a generalized quadrangle (Wikipedia article Generalized_quadrangle) of order \((q-1,q+1)\), see 3.1.3 in [PT2009]. Fix a plane \(\Pi \subset \Theta\) and a hyperoval \(O \subset \Pi\). The points of \(T_2^*(q):=T_2^*(O)\) are the points of \(\Theta\) outside \(\Pi\), and the lines are the lines of \(\Theta\) outside \(\Pi\) that meet \(\Pi\) in a point of \(O\).

INPUT:

  • q – a power of two

  • dual – boolean (default: False); whether to return the graph of \(T_2^*(O)\) or of the dual \(T_2^*(O)\) (when True)

  • hyperoval – a hyperoval (i.e. a complete 2-arc; a set of points in the plane meeting every line in 0 or 2 points) in the plane of points with 0th coordinate 0 in \(PG(3,q)\) over the field field. Each point of hyperoval must be a length 4 vector over field with 1st non-0 coordinate equal to 1. By default, hyperoval and field are not specified, and constructed on the fly. In particular, hyperoval we build is the classical one, i.e. a conic with the point of intersection of its tangent lines.

  • field – an instance of a finite field of order \(q\), must be provided if hyperoval is provided

  • check_hyperoval – boolean (default: True); whether to check hyperoval for correctness or not

EXAMPLES:

using the built-in construction:

sage: # needs sage.combinat sage.rings.finite_rings
sage: g = graphs.T2starGeneralizedQuadrangleGraph(4); g
T2*(O,4); GQ(3, 5): Graph on 64 vertices
sage: g.is_strongly_regular(parameters=True)

static TabacjnGraph(n, a, b, r)#

Return a Tabačjn graph with \(2n\) nodes.

The Tabačjn graphs is a family of pentavalent bicirculants graphs proposed in [AHKOS2014] as a generalization of generalized Petersen graphs. The parameters \(n\), \(a\), \(b\), \(r\) are integers such that \(n \geq 3\), \(1 \leq a, b, r \leq n - 1\), with \(a \neq b\) and \(r \neq n / 2\).

INPUT:

  • n – the number of nodes is \(2 * n\)

  • a – integer such that \(0 < a < n\) and \(a \neq b\), that determines a-spoke edges

  • b – integer such that \(0 < b < n\) and \(b \neq a\), that determines b-spoke edges

  • r – integer such that \(0 < r < n\) and \(r \neq n/2\) determining how inner vertices are connected

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the rose window graphs are displayed as an inner and outer cycle pair, with the first n nodes drawn on the outer circle. The first (0) node is drawn at the top of the outer-circle, moving counterclockwise after that. The inner circle is drawn with the (n)th node at the top, then counterclockwise as well. Vertices in the outer circle are connected in the circular manner, vertices in the inner circle are connected when their label have difference \(r\) (mod n). Vertices on the outer rim are connected with the vertices on the inner rim when they are at the same position and when they are \(a\) and \(b\) apart.

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.TabacjnGraph(3, 1, 2, 1)

static TadpoleGraph(n1, n2)#

Return a tadpole graph with n1+n2 nodes.

A tadpole graph is a path graph (order n2) connected to a cycle graph (order n1).

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, the cycle graph will be drawn in the lower-left corner with the (n1)th node at a 45 degree angle above the right horizontal center of the cycle graph, leading directly into the path graph.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a tadpole graph Cycle = 13, Stick = 4:

sage: g = graphs.TadpoleGraph(13, 4); g
Tadpole graph: Graph on 17 vertices
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot
static TaylorTwographDescendantSRG(q, clique_partition=False)#

Return the descendant graph of the Taylor’s two-graph for \(U_3(q)\), \(q\) odd.

This is a strongly regular graph with parameters \((v,k,\lambda,\mu)=(q^3, (q^2+1)(q-1)/2, (q-1)^3/4-1, (q^2+1)(q-1)/4)\) obtained as a two-graph descendant of the Taylor's two-graph \(T\). This graph admits a partition into cliques of size \(q\), which are useful in TaylorTwographSRG(), a strongly regular graph on \(q^3+1\) vertices in the Seidel switching class of \(T\), for which we need \((q^2+1)/2\) cliques. The cliques are the \(q^2\) lines on \(v_0\) of the projective plane containing the unital for \(U_3(q)\), and intersecting the unital (i.e. the vertices of the graph and the point we remove) in \(q+1\) points. This is all taken from §7E of [BL1984].

INPUT:

  • q – a power of an odd prime number

  • clique_partition – boolean (default: False); when set to True, return \(q^2-1\) cliques of size \(q\) with empty pairwise intersection. (Removing all of them leaves a clique, too), and the point removed from the unital.

EXAMPLES:

static TetrahedralGraph()#

Return a tetrahedral graph (with 4 nodes).

A tetrahedron is a 4-sided triangular pyramid. The tetrahedral graph corresponds to the connectivity of the vertices of the tetrahedron. This graph is equivalent to a wheel graph with 4 nodes and also a complete graph on four nodes. (See examples below).

PLOTTING: The Tetrahedral graph should be viewed in 3 dimensions. We choose to use a planar embedding of the graph. We hope to add rotatable, 3-dimensional viewing in the future. In such a case, a argument will be added to select the desired layout.

EXAMPLES:

Construct and show a Tetrahedral graph:

sage: g = graphs.TetrahedralGraph()
sage: g.show()                          # long time                             # needs sage.plot

sage: import networkx as NX                                                     # needs networkx

Compare this Tetrahedral, Wheel(4), Complete(4), and the Tetrahedral plotted with the spring-layout algorithm below in a Sage graphics array:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: tetra_pos = graphs.TetrahedralGraph()
sage: tetra_spring = Graph(NX.tetrahedral_graph())

sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time
static ThomsenGraph()#

Return the Thomsen Graph.

The Thomsen Graph is actually a complete bipartite graph with \((n1, n2) = (3, 3)\). It is also called the Utility graph.

sage: T
Thomsen graph: Graph on 6 vertices
sage: T.graph6_string()

static ToleranceGraph(tolrep)#

The tolerance representation tolrep is described by the list \(((l_0,r_0,t_0), (l_1,r_1,t_1), \ldots, (l_k,r_k,t_k))\) where \(I_i = (l_i,r_i)\) denotes a closed interval on the real line with \(l_i < r_i\) and \(t_i\) a strictly positive value, called tolerance. This representation generates the tolerance graph with the vertex set \(\{0,1, \ldots, k\}\) and the edge set \(\{(i,j): |I_i \cap I_j| \ge \min\{t_i, t_j\}\}\) where \(|I_i \cap I_j|\) denotes the length of the intersection of \(I_i\) and \(I_j\).

INPUT:

  • tolrep – list of triples \((l_i,r_i,t_i)\) where \((l_i,r_i)\) denotes a closed interval on the real line and \(t_i\) a positive value.

Note

The vertices are named \(0, 1, \ldots, k\). The tolerance representation used to create the graph is saved with the graph and can be recovered using get_vertex() or get_vertices().

EXAMPLES:

The following code creates a tolerance representation tolrep, generates its tolerance graph g, and applies some checks:

sage: tolrep = [(1,4,3),(1,2,1),(2,3,1),(0,3,3)]
sage: g = graphs.ToleranceGraph(tolrep)

static ToroidalGrid2dGraph(p, q)#

static UnitaryDualPolarGraph(m, q)#

Return the Dual Unitary Polar Graph \(U(m,q)\).

For more information on Unitary Dual Polar graphs, see [BCN1989] and Sect. 2.3.1 of [Coh1981].

INPUT:

  • m,q – integers; \(q\) must be a prime power

EXAMPLES:

The point graph of a generalized quadrangle (see Wikipedia article Generalized_quadrangle, [PT2009]) of order (8,4):

sage: G = graphs.UnitaryDualPolarGraph(5,2); G  # long time                     # needs sage.libs.gap
Unitary Dual Polar Graph DU(5, 2); GQ(8, 4): Graph on 297 vertices

(297, 40, 7, 5)

Another way to get the generalized quadrangle of order (2,4):

sage: G = graphs.UnitaryDualPolarGraph(4,2); G                                  # needs sage.libs.gap
Unitary Dual Polar Graph DU(4, 2); GQ(2, 4): Graph on 27 vertices

static UnitaryPolarGraph(m, q, algorithm='gap')#

Return the Unitary Polar Graph \(U(m,q)\).

For more information on Unitary Polar graphs, see the page of Andries Brouwer’s website.

INPUT:

  • m,q – integers; \(q\) must be a prime power

  • algorithm – string (default: "gap"); if set to ‘gap’ then the computation is carried via GAP library interface, computing totally singular subspaces, which is faster for large examples (especially with \(q>2\)). Otherwise it is done directly.

This is the distance 1 or 2 graph of the dual polar graph \(C_{m-1}(q)\). The graph is distance-regular with classical with parameters \((d,q^2, qbinom(3,1,q) -1, qbinom(m+1,1,q) -1)\)

static WellsGraph()#

Return the Wells graph.

For more information on the Wells graph (also called Armanios-Wells graph), see this page.

The implementation follows the construction given on page 266 of [BCN1989]. This requires to create intermediate graphs and run a small isomorphism test, while everything could be replaced by a pre-computed list of edges. I believe that it is better to keep “the recipe” in the code, however, as it is quite unlikely that this could become the most time-consuming operation in any sensible algorithm, and …. “preserves knowledge”, which is what open-source software is meant to do.

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = graphs.WellsGraph(); g

static WheelGraph(n)#

Returns a Wheel graph with n nodes.

A Wheel graph is a basic structure where one node is connected to all other nodes and those (outer) nodes are connected cyclically.

PLOTTING: Upon construction, the position dictionary is filled to override the spring-layout algorithm. By convention, each wheel graph will be displayed with the first (0) node in the center, the second node at the top, and the rest following in a counterclockwise manner.

With the wheel graph, we see that it doesn’t take a very large n at all for the spring-layout to give a counter-intuitive display. (See Graphics Array examples below).

EXAMPLES:

We view many wheel graphs with a Sage Graphics Array, first with this constructor (i.e., the position dictionary filled):

sage: # needs sage.plot
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:  k = graphs.WheelGraph(i+3)
....:  g.append(k)
...
sage: for i in range(3):
....:  n = []
....:  for m in range(3):
....:      n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:  j.append(n)
...
sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time

Next, using the spring-layout algorithm:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: import networkx
sage: g = []
sage: j = []
sage: for i in range(9):
....:  spr = networkx.wheel_graph(i+3)
....:  k = Graph(spr)
....:  g.append(k)
...
sage: for i in range(3):
....:  n = []
....:  for m in range(3):
....:      n.append(g[3*i + m].plot(vertex_size=50, vertex_labels=False))
....:  j.append(n)
...
sage: G = graphics_array(j)
sage: G.show()                          # long time

Compare the plotting:

sage: # needs networkx sage.plot
sage: n = networkx.wheel_graph(23)
sage: spring23 = Graph(n)
sage: posdict23 = graphs.WheelGraph(23)
sage: spring23.show()                   # long time
sage: posdict23.show()  # long time
static WienerArayaGraph()#

Return the Wiener-Araya Graph.

The Wiener-Araya Graph is a planar hypohamiltonian graph on 42 vertices and 67 edges. For more information, see the Wolfram Page on the Wiener-Araya Graph or Wikipedia article Wiener-Araya_graph.

EXAMPLES:

True
static WindmillGraph(k, n)#

Return the Windmill graph \(Wd(k, n)\).

The windmill graph \(Wd(k, n)\) is an undirected graph constructed for \(k \geq 2\) and \(n \geq 2\) by joining \(n\) copies of the complete graph \(K_k\) at a shared vertex. It has \((k-1)n+1\) vertices and \(nk(k-1)/2\) edges, girth 3 (if \(k > 2\)), radius 1 and diameter 2. It has vertex connectivity 1 because its central vertex is an articulation point; however, like the complete graphs from which it is formed, it is \((k-1)\)-edge-connected. It is trivially perfect and a block graph.

EXAMPLES:

The Windmill graph \(Wd(2, n)\) is a star graph:

sage: n = 5
sage: W = graphs.WindmillGraph(2, n)
sage: W.is_isomorphic( graphs.StarGraph(n) )
True

The Windmill graph \(Wd(3, n)\) is the Friendship graph \(F_n\):

sage: n = 5
sage: W = graphs.WindmillGraph(3, n)
sage: W.is_isomorphic( graphs.FriendshipGraph(n) )
True

The Windmill graph \(Wd(3, 2)\) is the Butterfly graph:

sage: W = graphs.WindmillGraph(3, 2)
sage: W.is_isomorphic( graphs.ButterflyGraph() )
True

The Windmill graph \(Wd(k, n)\) has chromatic number \(k\):

sage: W = graphs.WindmillGraph(k, n)
sage: W.chromatic_number() == k
True

basic = <module 'sage.graphs.generators.basic' from '/home/user/sage-git/src/sage/graphs/generators/basic.py'>#
static chang_graphs()#

Return the three Chang graphs.

Three of the four strongly regular graphs of parameters \((28,12,6,4)\) are called the Chang graphs. The fourth is the line graph of \(K_8\). For more information about the Chang graphs, see the Wikipedia article Chang_graphs or https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/graphs/Chang.html.

EXAMPLES: check that we get 4 non-isomorphic s.r.g.’s with the same parameters:

sage: chang_graphs = graphs.chang_graphs()
sage: K8 = graphs.CompleteGraph(8)
sage: T8 = K8.line_graph()
sage: four_srg = chang_graphs + [T8]
sage: for g in four_srg:

cospectral_graphs(vertices, matrix_function=None, graphs=None)#

Find all sets of graphs on vertices vertices (with possible restrictions) which are cospectral with respect to a constructed matrix.

INPUT:

  • vertices - The number of vertices in the graphs to be tested

  • matrix_function - A function taking a graph and giving back a matrix. This defaults to the adjacency matrix. The spectra examined are the spectra of these matrices.

  • graphs - One of three things:

    • None (default) - test all graphs having vertices vertices

    • a function taking a graph and returning True or False - test only the graphs on vertices vertices for which the function returns True

    • a list of graphs (or other iterable object) - these graphs are tested for cospectral sets. In this case, vertices is ignored.

OUTPUT:

A list of lists of graphs. Each sublist will be a list of cospectral graphs (lists of cardinality 1 being omitted).

See also

Graph.is_strongly_regular() – tests whether a graph is strongly regular and/or returns its parameters.

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = graphs.cospectral_graphs(5)                                       # needs sage.modules
sage: sorted(sorted(g.graph6_string() for g in glist) for glist in g)       # needs sage.modules
[['Dr?', 'Ds_']]
sage: g[0][1].am().charpoly()==g[0][1].am().charpoly()                      # needs sage.modules
True

There are two sets of cospectral graphs on six vertices with no isolated vertices:

sage: # needs sage.modules
sage: g = graphs.cospectral_graphs(6, graphs=lambda x: min(x.degree())>0)
sage: sorted(sorted(g.graph6_string() for g in glist) for glist in g)
[['Ep__', 'Er?G'], ['ExGg', 'ExoG']]
sage: g[0][1].am().charpoly()==g[0][1].am().charpoly()
True
sage: g[1][1].am().charpoly()==g[1][1].am().charpoly()
True

There is one pair of cospectral trees on eight vertices:

sage: g = graphs.cospectral_graphs(6, graphs=graphs.trees(8))               # needs sage.modules
sage: sorted(sorted(g.graph6_string() for g in glist) for glist in g)       # needs sage.modules

sage: g[0][1].am().charpoly()==g[0][1].am().charpoly()                      # needs sage.modules
True

There are two sets of cospectral graphs (with respect to the Laplacian matrix) on six vertices:

sage: # needs sage.modules
sage: g = graphs.cospectral_graphs(6, matrix_function=lambda g: g.laplacian_matrix())
sage: sorted(sorted(g.graph6_string() for g in glist) for glist in g)

True
sage: g[1][1].laplacian_matrix().charpoly()==g[1][1].laplacian_matrix().charpoly()
True

To find cospectral graphs with respect to the normalized Laplacian, assuming the graphs do not have an isolated vertex, it is enough to check the spectrum of the matrix \(D^{-1}A\), where \(D\) is the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees, and A is the adjacency matrix. We find two such cospectral graphs (for the normalized Laplacian) on five vertices:

sage: def DinverseA(g):
....:   A = g.adjacency_matrix().change_ring(QQ)
....:   for i in range(g.order()):
....:       A.rescale_row(i, 1 / len(A.nonzero_positions_in_row(i)))
....:   return A
sage: g = graphs.cospectral_graphs(5, matrix_function=DinverseA,            # needs sage.libs.pari sage.modules

static distance_3_doubly_truncated_Golay_code_graph()#

Return a distance-regular graph with intersection array \([9, 8, 6, 3; 1, 1, 3, 8]\).

sage: G.is_distance_regular(True)       # long time (due to above)
([9, 8, 6, 3, None], [None, 1, 1, 3, 8])

ALGORITHM:

Compute the binary Golay code and truncate it twice. Compute its coset graph. Take a vertex and compute the set of vertices at distance 3 from the vertex chosen. This set constitutes the set of vertices of our distance-regular graph. Moreover we have an edge \((u,v)\) if the coset graph contains such edge.

static distance_regular_graph(arr, existence=False, check=True)#

Return a distance-regular graph with the intersection array given.

INPUT:

  • arr – list; intersection array of the graph

  • existence – boolean (optional); instead of building the graph return:

    • True - if a graph with the given intersection array exists;

    • False - if there is no graph with the given intersection array;

    • Unknown - if Sage doesn’t know if such a graph exists.

  • check – boolean (optional); if True, then checks that the result of this function has the given intersection array. Default: True

fullerenes(order, ipr=False)#

Returns a generator which creates fullerene graphs using the buckygen generator (see [BGM2012]).

INPUT:

  • order - a positive even integer smaller than or equal to 254. This specifies the number of vertices in the generated fullerenes.

  • ipr - default: False - if True only fullerenes that satisfy the Isolated Pentagon Rule are generated. This means that no pentagonal faces share an edge.

OUTPUT:

A generator which will produce the fullerene graphs as Sage graphs with an embedding set. These will be simple graphs: no loops, no multiple edges, no directed edges.

EXAMPLES:

There are 1812 isomers of \(\textrm{C}_{60}\), i.e., 1812 fullerene graphs on 60 vertices:

sage: gen = graphs.fullerenes(60)  # optional - buckygen
sage: len(list(gen))               # optional - buckygen

fusenes(hexagon_count, benzenoids=False)#

Returns a generator which creates fusenes and benzenoids using the benzene generator (see [BCH2002]). Fusenes are planar polycyclic hydrocarbons with all bounded faces hexagons. Benzenoids are fusenes that are subgraphs of the hexagonal lattice.

INPUT:

  • hexagon_count - a positive integer smaller than or equal to 30. This specifies the number of hexagons in the generated benzenoids.

  • benzenoids - default: False - if True only benzenoids are generated.

OUTPUT:

A generator which will produce the fusenes as Sage graphs with an embedding set. These will be simple graphs: no loops, no multiple edges, no directed edges.

EXAMPLES:

There is a unique fusene with 2 hexagons:

sage: gen = graphs.fusenes(2)  # optional - benzene
sage: len(list(gen))           # optional - benzene
1

This fusene is naphthalene (\(\textrm{C}_{10}\textrm{H}_{8}\)). In the fusene graph the H-atoms are not stored, so this is a graph on just 10 vertices:

sage: gen = graphs.fusenes(2)  # optional - benzene

static locally_GQ42_distance_transitive_graph()#

Return the unique amply regular graph with \(\mu = 6\) which is locally a generalised quadrangle.

This graph is distance-regular with intersection array \([45, 32, 12, 1; 1, 6, 32, 45]\).

This graph is also distance-transitive.

EXAMPLES:

sage: G = graphs.locally_GQ42_distance_transitive_graph()       # optional - internet gap_package_atlasrep

nauty_genbg(options='', debug=False)#

Return a generator which creates bipartite graphs from nauty’s genbg program.

INPUT:

  • options – string (default: ""); a string passed to genbg as if it was run at a system command line. At a minimum, you must pass the number of vertices you desire in each side. Sage expects the bipartite graphs to be in nauty’s “graph6” format, do not set an option to change this default or results will be unpredictable.

  • debug – boolean (default: False); if True the first line of geng’s output to standard error is captured and the first call to the generator’s next() function will return this line as a string. A line leading with “>A” indicates a successful initiation of the program with some information on the arguments, while a line beginning with “>E” indicates an error with the input.

The possible options, obtained as output of genbg --help:

    n1       : the number of vertices in the first class.
               We must have n1=1..24.
    n2       : the number of vertices in the second class.
               We must have n2=0..32 and n1+n2=1..32.
mine:maxe    : <int>:<int> a range for the number of edges
                <int>:0 means '<int> or more' except in the case 0:0
  res/mod    : only generate subset res out of subsets 0..mod-1
    -c       : only write connected graphs
    -z       : all the vertices in the second class must have
               different neighbourhoods
    -F       : the vertices in the second class must have at least
               two neighbours of degree at least 2
    -L       : there is no vertex in the first class whose removal
               leaves the vertices in the second class unreachable
               from each other
    -Y<int>  : two vertices in the second class must have at least
               <int> common neighbours
    -Z<int>  : two vertices in the second class must have at most
               <int> common neighbours
    -A       : no vertex in the second class has a neighbourhood
               which is a subset of another vertex's neighbourhood
               in the second class
    -D<int>  : specify an upper bound for the maximum degree
               Example: -D6. You can also give separate maxima for
               the two parts, for example: -D5:6
    -d<int>  : specify a lower bound for the minimum degree
               Again, you can specify it separately for the two parts,
               for example -d1:2
    -v       : display counts by number of edges to stderr
    -l       : canonically label output graphs

Options which cause genbg to use an output format different than the graph6 format are not listed above (-s, -a) as they will confuse the creation of a Sage graph. Option -q which suppress auxiliary output (except from -v) should never be used as we are unable to recover the partition of the vertices of the bipartite graph without the auxiliary output. Hence the partition of the vertices of returned bipartite graphs might not respect the requirement.

The res/mod option can be useful when using the output in a routine run several times in parallel.

OUTPUT:

A generator which will produce the graphs as BipartiteGraph. These will be simple bipartite graphs: no loops, no multiple edges, no directed edges.

EXAMPLES:

The generator can be used to construct biparrtite graphs for testing, one at a time (usually inside a loop). Or it can be used to create an entire list all at once if there is sufficient memory to contain it:

sage: gen = graphs.nauty_genbg("1 1")
sage: next(gen)
Bipartite graph on 2 vertices
sage: next(gen)
Bipartite graph on 2 vertices
sage: next(gen)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
StopIteration

Connected bipartite graphs of order 6 with different number of vertices in each side:

sage: gen = graphs.nauty_genbg("1 5 -c")
sage: len(list(gen))
1
sage: gen = graphs.nauty_genbg("2 4 -c")
sage: len(list(gen))
6
sage: gen = graphs.nauty_genbg("3 3 -c")
sage: len(list(gen))
13

Use nauty_geng() instead if you want the list of all bipartite graphs of order \(n\). For instance, the list of all connected bipartite graphs of order 6, which agrees with OEIS sequence A005142:

sage: gen = graphs.nauty_geng("-b -c 6")
sage: len(list(gen))
17

The debug switch can be used to examine genbg’s reaction to the input in the options string. A message starting with “>A” indicates success and a message starting with “>E” indicates a failure:

sage: gen = graphs.nauty_genbg("2 3", debug=True)
sage: print(next(gen))
>A ...genbg n=2+3 e=0:6 d=0:0 D=3:2
sage: gen = graphs.nauty_genbg("-c2 3", debug=True)
sage: next(gen)
'>E Usage: ...genbg [-c -ugs -vq -lzF] [-Z#] [-D#] [-A] [-d#|-d#:#] [-D#|-D#:#] n1 n2...

Check that the partition of the bipartite graph is consistent:

sage: gen = graphs.nauty_genbg("3 3")
sage: left = set(range(3))
sage: for g in gen:
....:     if g.left != left:
....:         raise ValueError('wrong partition')
nauty_geng(options='', debug=False)#

Return a generator which creates graphs from nauty’s geng program.

INPUT:

  • options – string (default: ""); a string passed to geng as if it was run at a system command line. At a minimum, you must pass the number of vertices you desire. Sage expects the graphs to be in nauty’s “graph6” format, do not set an option to change this default or results will be unpredictable.

  • debug – boolean (default: False); if True the first line of geng’s output to standard error is captured and the first call to the generator’s next() function will return this line as a string. A line leading with “>A” indicates a successful initiation of the program with some information on the arguments, while a line beginning with “>E” indicates an error with the input.

The possible options, obtained as output of geng --help:

                <int>:0 means '<int> or more' except in the case 0:0

    -t       : only generate triangle-free graphs
    -f       : only generate 4-cycle-free graphs
    -b       : only generate bipartite graphs
                  (-t, -f and -b can be used in any combination)
    -m       : save memory at the expense of time (only makes a
                  difference in the absence of -b, -t, -f and n <= 28).
    -d<int>  : a lower bound for the minimum degree
    -D<int>  : a upper bound for the maximum degree
    -v       : display counts by number of edges
    -l       : canonically label output graphs

    -q       : suppress auxiliary output (except from -v)

Options which cause geng to use an output format different than the graph6 format are not listed above (-u, -g, -s, -y, -h) as they will confuse the creation of a Sage graph. The res/mod option can be useful when using the output in a routine run several times in parallel.

OUTPUT:

A generator which will produce the graphs as Sage graphs. These will be simple graphs: no loops, no multiple edges, no directed edges.

The debug switch can be used to examine geng’s reaction to the input in the options string. We illustrate success. (A failure will be a string beginning with “>E”.) Passing the “-q” switch to geng will suppress the indicator of a successful initiation, and so the first returned value might be an empty string if debug is True:

nauty_genktreeg(options='', debug=False)#

Return a generator which creates all \(k\)-trees using nauty..

A \(k\)-tree is an undirected graph formed by starting with a complete graph on \(k + 1\) vertices and then repeatedly add vertices in such a way that each added vertex \(v\) has exactly \(k\) neighbors \(U\) such that, together, the \(k + 1\) vertices formed by \(v\) and \(U\) form a clique. See the Wikipedia article K-tree for more details.

INPUT:

  • options – string (default: ""); a string passed to genktreeg as if it was run at a system command line. At a minimum, you must pass the number of vertices you desire. Sage expects the graphs to be in nauty’s “graph6” format, do not set an option to change this default or results will be unpredictable.

  • debug – boolean (default: False); if True the first line of genktreeg’s output to standard error is captured and the first call to the generator’s next() function will return this line as a string. A line leading with “>A” indicates a successful initiation of the program with some information on the arguments, while a line beginning with “>E” indicates an error with the input.

Options which cause genktreeg to use an output format different than the graph6 format are not listed above (-u, -s, -h) as they will confuse the creation of a Sage graph. The res/mod option can be useful when using the output in a routine run several times in parallel.

OUTPUT:

Return a generator which creates non-isomorphic trees from nauty’s gentreeg program.

INPUT:

Sage expects the graphs to be in nauty’s “sparse6” format, do not set an option to change this default or results will be unpredictable.

  • debug – boolean (default: False); if True the first line of gentreeg’s output to standard error is captured and the first call to the generator’s next() function will return this line as a string.

static petersen_family(generate=False)#

Returns the Petersen family

The Petersen family is a collection of 7 graphs which are the forbidden minors of the linklessly embeddable graphs. For more information see the Wikipedia article Petersen_family.

INPUT:

  • generate (boolean) – whether to generate the family from the \(\Delta-Y\) transformations. When set to False (default) a hardcoded version of the graphs (with a prettier layout) is returned.

EXAMPLES:

planar_graphs(order, minimum_degree=None, minimum_connectivity=None, exact_connectivity=False, minimum_edges=None, maximum_edges=None, maximum_face_size=None, only_bipartite=False, dual=False)#

An iterator over connected planar graphs using the plantri generator.

This uses the plantri generator (see [BM2007]) which is available through the optional package plantri.

Note

The non-3-connected graphs will be returned several times, with all its possible embeddings.

INPUT:

  • order - a positive integer smaller than or equal to 64. This specifies the number of vertices in the generated graphs.

  • minimum_degree - default: None - a value \(\geq 1\) and \(\leq 5\), or None. This specifies the minimum degree of the generated graphs. If this is None and the order is 1, then this is set to 0. If this is None and the minimum connectivity is specified, then this is set to the same value as the minimum connectivity. If the minimum connectivity is also equal to None, then this is set to 1.

  • minimum_connectivity - default: None - a value \(\geq 1\) and \(\leq 3\), or None. This specifies the minimum connectivity of the generated graphs. If this is None and the minimum degree is specified, then this is set to the minimum of the minimum degree and 3. If the minimum degree is also equal to None, then this is set to 1.

  • exact_connectivity - default: False - if True only graphs with exactly the specified connectivity will be generated. This option cannot be used with minimum_connectivity=3, or if the minimum connectivity is not explicitly set.

  • minimum_edges – integer (default: None); lower bound on the number of edges

  • maximum_edges – integer (default: None); upper bound on the number of edges

  • maximum_face_size – integer (default: None); upper bound on the size of a face and so on the maximum degree of the dual graph

  • only_bipartite - default: False - if True only bipartite graphs will be generated. This option cannot be used for graphs with a minimum degree larger than 3.

  • dual - default: False - if True return instead the planar duals of the generated graphs.

OUTPUT:

An iterator which will produce all planar graphs with the given number of vertices as Sage graphs with an embedding set. These will be simple graphs (no loops, no multiple edges, no directed edges) unless the option dual=True is used.

1
sage: len(list(graphs.planar_graphs(4, maximum_face_size=4)))  # optional - plantri
3
plantri_gen(options='')#

Iterator over planar graphs created using the plantri generator.

plantri is a (optional) program that generates certain types of graphs that are embedded on the sphere. It outputs exactly one member of each isomorphism class, using an amount of memory almost independent of the number of graphs produced. Isomorphisms are defined with respect to the embeddings, so in some cases outputs may be isomorphic as abstract graphs.

This method allows for passing command directly to plantry, similarly to method nauty_geng(), provide that the output format is not changed.

INPUT:

  • options – string (default: ""); a string passed to plantri as if it was run at a system command line. At a minimum, you must pass the number of vertices you desire. Sage expects the output of plantri to be in “planar code” format, so do not set an option to change this default or results will be unpredictable.

The possible options are:

n       : the number of vertices (the only compulsory parameter).
          This number must be in range `3\cdots 64`.
          It can also be given as "nd", where the suffix "d" means
          "dual", in which case it is converted by adding 4 then
          dividing by 2, i.e., `(28+4)/2 = 16`. In the case of
          triangulations, this calculation yields the number of
          faces, which is the number of vertices in the dual cubic
          graph.

-d      : output the dual instead of the original graph.
          Note that it is applied only at the output stage. All
          other switches refer to the original graph before the dual
          is taken.

-o      : Normally, one member of each isomorphism class is written.
          If this switch is given, one member of each O-P
          isomorphism class is written.

-V      : output only graphs with non-trivial group. If -o is
          given the O-P group is used, the full group otherwise.

-m<int> : lower bound on the minimum degree. The default is -m3.
          In the dual graph, this means a lower bound on the minimum
          face size.

-c<int> : lower bound on the connectivity. The default is -c3.

-x      : when used in combination with -cN, the connectivity must
          be exactly N rather than at least N.

-e      : used to specify bounds on the number of edges.
          There are four possible forms:
              -e<int>        exactly <int> edges
              -e:<int>       at most <int> edges
              -e<int>:       at least <int> edges
              -e<int>:<int>  between <int> and <int> edges

-f<int> : upper bound on the size of a face, and so on the maximum
          degree of the dual.

-b but not -p : select eulerian triangulations, where "eulerian"
                means that every vertex has even degree.
                This parameter can be used in combination with
                parameters -c and -x.

-p but not -b : select general planar simple graphs.
                This parameter can be used in combination with
                parameters -m, -c, -x, -e and -f.

-bp or -pb    : select general planar simple bipartite graphs.
                This parameter can be used in combination with
                parameters -m, -c, -x, -e and -f, except -c4, -m4,
                -m5 and -f3.

-P<int> : select triangulations of a disk. These are embedded simple
          graphs with a distinguished "outer" face. The outer face
          can be of any size (here called the disk size) but the
          other faces must be triangles.  The argument <int> to -P
          is the disk size. If no argument (or 0) is given, all disk
          sizes are permitted.
          This parameter can be used in combination with
          parameters -m, -c, and -x.

-q      : select simple quadrangulations. These are planar simple
          graphs for which every face has length 4.
          This parameter can be used in combination with parameters
          -c and -m.

-A      : select Appolonian networks. These are simple planar
          triangulations that can be formed starting with `K_4` then
          repeatedly dividing a face into three by addition of a new
          vertex. They all have minimum degree and connectivity
          equal to 3.

res/mod : only generate subset res out of subsets 0..mod-1.
          The set of objects is divided into mod disjoint classes
          and only the res-th class is generated.

If -b, -q, -p, -P and -A are absent, the graphs found are triangulations only restricted by connectivity and minimum degree. In this case, there is the possibility of connectivity lower than 3.

Other options listed in the plantri guide might cause unpredictable behavior, in particular those changing the output format of plantri as they will confuse the creation of a Sage graph.

OUTPUT:

An iterator which yields the graphs generated by plantri as Sage Graph.

quadrangulations(order, minimum_degree=None, minimum_connectivity=None, no_nonfacial_quadrangles=False, dual=False)#

An iterator over planar quadrangulations using the plantri generator.

This uses the plantri generator (see [BM2007]) which is available through the optional package plantri.

INPUT:

  • order - a positive integer smaller than or equal to 64. This specifies the number of vertices in the generated quadrangulations.

  • minimum_degree - default: None - a value \(\geq 2\) and \(\leq 3\), or None. This specifies the minimum degree of the generated quadrangulations. If this is None and the minimum connectivity is specified, then this is set to the same value as the minimum connectivity. If the minimum connectivity is also equal to None, then this is set to 2.

  • minimum_connectivity - default: None - a value \(\geq 2\) and \(\leq 3\), or None. This specifies the minimum connectivity of the generated quadrangulations. If this is None and the option no_nonfacial_quadrangles is set to True, then this is set to 3. Otherwise if this is None and the minimum degree is specified, then this is set to the minimum degree. If the minimum degree is also equal to None, then this is set to 3.

  • no_nonfacial_quadrangles - default: False - if True only quadrangulations with no non-facial quadrangles are generated. This option cannot be used if minimum_connectivity is set to 2.

  • dual - default: False - if True return instead the planar duals of the generated graphs.

OUTPUT:

An iterator which will produce all planar quadrangulations with the given number of vertices as Sage graphs with an embedding set. These will be simple graphs (no loops, no multiple edges, no directed edges).

static strongly_regular_graph(v, k, l, mu=-1, existence=False, check=True)#

Return a \((v,k,\lambda,\mu)\)-strongly regular graph.

This function relies partly on Andries Brouwer’s database of strongly regular graphs. See the documentation of sage.graphs.strongly_regular_db for more information.

INPUT:

  • v,k,l,mu (integers) – note that mu, if unspecified, is automatically determined from v,k,l.

  • existence (boolean;``False``) – instead of building the graph, return:

    • True – meaning that a \((v,k,\lambda,\mu)\)-strongly regular graph exists.

    • Unknown – meaning that Sage does not know if such a strongly regular graph exists (see sage.misc.unknown).

    • False – meaning that no such strongly regular graph exists.

  • check – (boolean) Whether to check that output is correct before returning it. As this is expected to be useless (but we are cautious guys), you may want to disable it whenever you want speed. Set to True by default.

triangulations(order, minimum_degree=None, minimum_connectivity=None, exact_connectivity=False, only_eulerian=False, dual=False)#

An iterator over connected planar triangulations using the plantri generator.

This uses the plantri generator (see [BM2007]) which is available through the optional package plantri.

INPUT:

  • order - a positive integer smaller than or equal to 64. This specifies the number of vertices in the generated triangulations.

  • minimum_degree - default: None - a value \(\geq 3\) and \(\leq 5\), or None. This specifies the minimum degree of the generated triangulations. If this is None and the minimum connectivity is specified, then this is set to the same value as the minimum connectivity. If the minimum connectivity is also equal to None, then this is set to 3.

  • minimum_connectivity - default: None - a value \(\geq 3\) and \(\leq 5\), or None. This specifies the minimum connectivity of the generated triangulations. If this is None and the minimum degree is specified, then this is set to the minimum of the minimum degree and 3. If the minimum degree is also equal to None, then this is set to 3.

  • exact_connectivity - default: False - if True only triangulations with exactly the specified connectivity will be generated. This option cannot be used with minimum_connectivity=3, or if the minimum connectivity is not explicitly set.

  • only_eulerian - default: False - if True only Eulerian triangulations will be generated. This option cannot be used if the minimum degree is explicitly set to anything else than 4.

  • dual - default: False - if True return instead the planar duals of the generated graphs.

OUTPUT:

An iterator which will produce all planar triangulations with the given number of vertices as Sage graphs with an embedding set. These will be simple graphs (no loops, no multiple edges, no directed edges).
