Modular Decomposition#

This module implements the function for computing the modular decomposition of undirected graphs.

class sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition.Node(node_type)#

Bases: object

Node class stores information about the node type, node split and index of the node in the parent tree.

Node type can be PRIME, SERIES, PARALLEL, NORMAL or FOREST. Node split can be NO_SPLIT, LEFT_SPLIT, RIGHT_SPLIT or BOTH_SPLIT. A node is split in the refinement phase and the split used is propagated to the ancestors.

  • node_type – is of type NodeType and specifies the type of node

  • node_split – is of type NodeSplit and specifies the type of splits which have occurred in the node and its descendants

  • index_in_root – specifies the index of the node in the forest obtained after promotion phase

  • comp_num – specifies the number given to nodes in a (co)component before refinement

  • is_separated – specifies whether a split has occurred with the node as the root

has_left_split()#

Check whether self has LEFT_SPLIT.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition import *
sage: node = Node(NodeType.PRIME)
sage: node.set_node_split(NodeSplit.LEFT_SPLIT)
sage: node.has_left_split()

sage: node = Node(NodeType.PRIME)
sage: node.set_node_split(NodeSplit.RIGHT_SPLIT)
sage: node.has_right_split()
True
sage: node = Node(NodeType.PRIME)
sage: node.set_node_split(NodeSplit.BOTH_SPLIT)
sage: node.has_right_split()

class sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition.NodeSplit(value)#

Bases: Enum

Enumeration class used to specify the split that has occurred at the node or at any of its descendants.

NodeSplit is defined for every node in modular decomposition tree and is required during the refinement and promotion phase of modular decomposition tree computation. Various node splits defined are

  • LEFT_SPLIT – indicates a left split has occurred

sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition.equivalent_trees(root1, root2)#

Check that two modular decomposition trees are the same.

Verify that the structure of the trees is the same.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition import *
sage: t1 = nested_tuple_to_tree((NodeType.SERIES, 1, 2,
....:             (NodeType.PARALLEL, 3, 4)))
sage: t2 = nested_tuple_to_tree((NodeType.SERIES,

sage: equivalent_trees(t1, t2)
True
sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition.form_module(index, other_index, tree_root, graph)#

Forms a module out of the modules in the module pair.

Let \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) be the input modules. Let \(V\) be the set of vertices in these modules. Suppose \(x\) is a neighbor of subset of the vertices in \(V\) but not all the vertices and \(x\) does not belong to \(V\). Then the set of modules also include the module which contains \(x\). This process is repeated until a module is formed and the formed module if subset of \(V\) is returned.

  • other_index – second module in the module pair

  • tree_root – modular decomposition tree which contains the modules in the module pair

sage: g = graphs.HexahedralGraph()

[False, {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}]
sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition.gamma_classes(graph)#

Partition the edges of the graph into Gamma classes.

Two distinct edges are Gamma related if they share a vertex but are not part of a triangle. A Gamma class of edges is a collection of edges such that any edge in the class can be reached from any other by a chain of Gamma related edges (that are also in the class).

The two important properties of the Gamma class

  • The vertex set corresponding to a Gamma class is a module

  • If the graph is not fragile (neither it or its complement is disconnected) then there is exactly one class that visits all the vertices of the graph, and this class consists of just the edges that connect the maximal strong modules of that graph.

EXAMPLES:

The gamma_classes of the octahedral graph are the three 4-cycles corresponding to the slices through the center of the octahedron:

sage: from sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition import gamma_classes
sage: g = graphs.OctahedralGraph()
sage: sorted(gamma_classes(g), key=str)

sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition.habib_maurer_algorithm(graph, g_classes=None)#

Compute the modular decomposition by the algorithm of Habib and Maurer

Compute the modular decomposition of the given graph by the algorithm of Habib and Maurer [HM1979] . If the graph is disconnected or its complement is disconnected return a tree with a PARALLEL or SERIES node at the root and children being the modular decomposition of the subgraphs induced by the components. Otherwise, the root is PRIME and the modules are identified by having identical neighborhoods in the gamma class that spans the vertices of the subgraph (exactly one is guaranteed to exist). The gamma classes only need to be computed once, as the algorithm computes the the classes for the current root and each of the submodules. See also [BM1983] for an equivalent algorithm described in greater detail.

INPUT:

  • graph – the graph for which modular decomposition tree needs to be computed

  • g_classes – dictionary (default: None); a dictionary whose values are the gamma classes of the graph, and whose keys are a frozenset of the vertices corresponding to the class. Used internally.

Test the input modular decomposition tree using recursion.

INPUT:

  • tree_root – root of the modular decomposition tree to be tested

  • graph – graph whose modular decomposition tree needs to be tested

OUTPUT:

True if input tree is a modular decomposition else False

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition import *
sage: g = graphs.HexahedralGraph()
sage: test_modular_decomposition(modular_decomposition(g), g)
True
sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition.test_module(module, graph)#

Test whether input module is actually a module

INPUT:

  • module – module which needs to be tested

  • graph – input sage graph which contains the module

OUTPUT:

True if input module is a module by definition else False

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition import *
sage: g = graphs.HexahedralGraph()
sage: tree_root = modular_decomposition(g)
sage: test_module(tree_root, g)
True
sage: test_module(tree_root.children[0], g)
True
sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition.tree_to_nested_tuple(root)#

Convert a modular decomposition tree to a nested tuple.

INPUT:

  • root – the root of the modular decomposition tree

OUTPUT:

A tuple whose first element is the type of the root of the tree and whose subsequent nodes are either vertex labels in the case of leaves or tuples representing the child subtrees.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.graphs.graph_decompositions.modular_decomposition import *
sage: g = graphs.OctahedralGraph()
sage: tree_to_nested_tuple(modular_decomposition(g))
