graphtheory package

Python implementation of graph data structures and algorithms is presented. The minimal graph interface is defined together with several classes implementing this interface. Graph nodes can be any hashable Python objects. Directed edges are instances of the Edge class. Graphs are instances of the Graph class (several versions). Multigraphs are instances of the MultiGraph class. Many algorithms are implemented using a unified approach. There are separate classes and modules devoted to different algorithms. The graphtheory package is written with Python 2.7 and Python 3.2.

Problems and algorithms

• Connectivity: connected components, strongly connected components, cut nodes, cut edges (bridges)
• Cycle detection, topological sorting (DFS, Kahn), transitive closure (matrix multiplication, Floyd-Warshall, BFS, DFS)
• Bipartiteness: bipartite graphs detection (BFS, DFS), maximum-cardinality matching (Hopcroft-Karp, Ford-Fulkerson)
• Matching: heuristics (greedy for a maximal cardinality matching, greedy for a minimum weight matching)
• Vertex coloring: sequential (US, RS, CS), Brooks' theorem (Delta colors), m-coloring (backtracking, exact), counter method (exact), LF, SLF, RLF, SL, GIS
• Edge coloring: with the line graph (using vertex coloring), sequential (US, RS, CS), NTL (using Delta or Delta+1 colors), complete graphs (exact), bipartite graphs (exact)
• Independent sets: backtracking (exact), US, RS, LL, SF
• Dominating sets: backtracking (exact), US, RS, LF
• Minimum spanning trees (weighted undirected graphs): Boruvka, Prim, Kruskal
• Single-source shortest paths (weighted directed graphs without negative cycles): Dijkstra (nonnegative weights), DAGs (using topological sorting), Bellman-Ford
• All-pairs shortest paths (weighted directed graphs without negative cycles): Floyd-Warshall, Johnson, Matrix multiplications
• Eulerian graphs: DFS, Fleury, Hierholzer
• Hamiltonian graphs: DFS, tournaments, TSP (DFS, with MST, NN, RNN, sorted edges)
• Forests (exact algorithms): iset, dset, vertex cover, matching, tree center, plotting
• Series-parallel graphs (exact algorithms): recognition, generators, iset, dset, vertex cover, matching, chordal completion (PEO), vertex coloring
• Halin graphs (exact algorithms): recognition, generators, vertex coloring, chordal completion (PEO), tree decomposition, plotting
• Chordal graphs: in progress ...
