Common Digraphs¶

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

sage: g = digraphs.Circuit(15)

To get a circulant graph on 10 vertices in which a vertex $i$ has $i+2$ and $i+3$ as outneighbors:

sage: p = digraphs.Circulant(10,[2,3])

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

Functions and methods¶

class sage.graphs.digraph_generators.DiGraphGenerators¶

A class consisting of constructors for several common digraphs, including orderly generation of isomorphism class representatives.

A list of all graphs and graph structures in this database is available via tab completion. Type “digraphs.” and then hit tab to see which graphs are available.

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

The constructors currently in this class include:

Random Directed Graphs:
    - RandomDirectedGN
    - RandomDirectedGNC
    - RandomDirectedGNP
    - RandomDirectedGNM
    - RandomDirectedGNR
    - RandomTournament
    - RandomSemiComplete

Families of Graphs:
    - Complete
    - DeBruijn
    - GeneralizedDeBruijn
    - Kautz
    - Path
    - ImaseItoh
    - RandomTournament
    - TransitiveTournament
    - tournaments_nauty

ORDERLY GENERATION: digraphs(vertices, property=lambda x: True, augment=’edges’, size=None)

Accesses the generator of isomorphism class representatives. Iterates over distinct, exhaustive representatives.

INPUT:

vertices - natural number
property - any property to be tested on digraphs before generation.
augment - choices:
'vertices' - augments by adding a vertex, and edges incident to that vertex. In this case, all digraphs on up to n=vertices are generated. If for any digraph 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 digraphs with that property. If this does not hold, then all the digraphs generated will satisfy the property, but there will be some missing.
'edges' - augments a fixed number of vertices by adding one edge In this case, all digraphs 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 digraphs with that property. If this does not hold, then all the digraphs generated will satisfy the property, but there will be some missing.
implementation - which underlying implementation to use (see DiGraph?)
sparse - ignored if implementation is not c_graph

EXAMPLES: Print digraphs on 2 or less vertices.

sage: for D in digraphs(2, augment='vertices'):
....:     print(D)
Digraph on 0 vertices
Digraph on 1 vertex
Digraph on 2 vertices
Digraph on 2 vertices
Digraph on 2 vertices

Note that we can also get digraphs with underlying Cython implementation:

sage: for D in digraphs(2, augment='vertices', implementation='c_graph'):
....:     print(D)
Digraph on 0 vertices
Digraph on 1 vertex
Digraph on 2 vertices
Digraph on 2 vertices
Digraph on 2 vertices

Print digraphs on 3 vertices.

sage: for D in digraphs(3):
....:     print(D)
Digraph on 3 vertices
Digraph on 3 vertices
...
Digraph on 3 vertices
Digraph on 3 vertices

Generate all digraphs with 4 vertices and 3 edges.

sage: L = digraphs(4, size=3)
sage: len(list(L))
13

Generate all digraphs with 4 vertices and up to 3 edges.

sage: L = list(digraphs(4, lambda G: G.size() <= 3))
sage: len(L)
20
sage: graphs_list.show_graphs(L)  # long time

Generate all digraphs with degree at most 2, up to 5 vertices.

sage: property = lambda G: ( max([G.degree(v) for v in G] + [0]) <= 2 )
sage: L = list(digraphs(5, property, augment='vertices'))
sage: len(L)
75

Generate digraphs on the fly: (see http://oeis.org/classic/A000273)

sage: for i in range(0, 5):
....:     print(len(list(digraphs(i))))

ButterflyGraph(n, vertices='strings')¶

Returns a n-dimensional butterfly graph. The vertices consist of pairs (v,i), where v is an n-dimensional tuple (vector) with binary entries (or a string representation of such) and i is an integer in [0..n]. A directed edge goes from (v,i) to (w,i+1) if v and w are identical except for possibly v[i] != w[i].

A butterfly graph has $(2^n)(n+1)$ vertices and $n2^{n+1}$ edges.

INPUT:

DeBruijn(k, n, vertices='strings')¶

Returns the De Bruijn digraph with parameters $k,n$ .

The De Bruijn digraph with parameters $k,n$ is built upon a set of vertices equal to the set of words of length $n$ from a dictionary of $k$ letters.

In this digraph, there is an arc $w_1w_2$ if $w_2$ can be obtained from $w_1$ by removing the leftmost letter and adding a new letter at its right end. For more information, see the Wikipedia article on De Bruijn graph.

RandomDirectedGN(n, kernel=<function <lambda>>, seed=None)¶

Returns a random GN (growing network) digraph with n vertices.

The digraph is constructed by adding vertices with a link to one previously added vertex.

The digraph is always a tree, so in particular it is a directed acyclic graph.

The digraph is constructed by adding vertices with a link to one previously added vertex. The vertex to link to is chosen uniformly. With probability p, the arc is instead redirected to the successor vertex. The digraph is always a tree.

INPUT:

n - number of vertices.
p - redirection probability
seed - for the random number generator.

EXAMPLE:

sage: D = digraphs.RandomDirectedGNR(25, .2)
sage: D.edges(labels=False)
[(1, 0), (2, 0), (2, 1), (3, 0), (4, 0), (4, 1), (5, 0), (5, 1), (5, 2), (6, 0), (6, 1), (7, 0), (7, 1), (7, 4), (8, 0), (9, 0), (9, 8), (10, 0), (10, 1), (10, 2), (10, 5), (11, 0), (11, 8), (11, 9), (12, 0), (12, 8), (12, 9), (13, 0), (13, 1), (14, 0), (14, 8), (14, 9), (14, 12), (15, 0), (15, 8), (15, 9), (15, 12), (16, 0), (16, 1), (16, 4), (16, 7), (17, 0), (17, 8), (17, 9), (17, 12), (18, 0), (18, 8), (19, 0), (19, 1), (19, 4), (19, 7), (20, 0), (20, 1), (20, 4), (20, 7), (20, 16), (21, 0), (21, 8), (22, 0), (22, 1), (22, 4), (22, 7), (22, 19), (23, 0), (23, 8), (23, 9), (23, 12), (23, 14), (24, 0), (24, 8), (24, 9), (24, 12), (24, 15)]

RandomSemiComplete(n)¶

Return a random semi-complete digraph on $n$ vertices.

A directed graph $G=(V,E)$ is semi-complete if for any pair of vertices $u$ and $v$ , there is at least one arc between them.

To generate randomly a semi-complete digraph, we have to ensure, for any pair of distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ , that with probability $1/3$ we have only arc $uv$ , with probability $1/3$ we have only arc $vu$ , and with probability $1/3$ we have both arc $uv$ and arc $vu$ . We do so by selecting a random integer $coin$ in $[1,3]$ . When $coin==1$ we select only arc $uv$ , when $coin==3$ we select only arc $vu$ , and when $coin==2$ we select both arcs. In other words, we select arc $uv$ when $coin\leq 2$ and arc $vu$ when $coin\geq 2$ .

INPUT:

n (integer) – the number of nodes

EXAMPLES:

sage: SC = digraphs.RandomSemiComplete(10); SC
Random Semi-Complete digraph: Digraph on 10 vertices
sage: SC.size() >= binomial(10, 2)
True
sage: digraphs.RandomSemiComplete(-1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: The number of vertices cannot be strictly negative!

RandomTournament(n)¶

Returns a random tournament on $n$ vertices.

For every pair of vertices, the tournament has an edge from $i$ to $j$ with probability $1/2$ , otherwise it has an edge from $j$ to $i$ .

See Wikipedia article Tournament_(graph_theory)

INPUT:

n (integer) – number of vertices.

ValueError: The number of vertices cannot be strictly negative!

TransitiveTournament(n)¶

Returns a transitive tournament on $n$ vertices.

In this tournament there is an edge from $i$ to $j$ if $i<j$ .

See Wikipedia article Tournament_(graph_theory)

INPUT:

n (integer) – number of vertices in the tournament.

EXAMPLES:

sage: g = digraphs.TransitiveTournament(5)
sage: g.vertices()
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
sage: g.size()
10
sage: g.automorphism_group().cardinality()
1

TESTS:

sage: digraphs.TransitiveTournament(-1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: The number of vertices cannot be strictly negative!

tournaments_nauty(n, min_out_degree=None, max_out_degree=None, strongly_connected=False, debug=False, options='')¶

Returns all tournaments on $n$ vertices using Nauty.

INPUT:

n (integer) – number of vertices.
min_out_degree, max_out_degree (integers) – if set to None (default), then the min/max out-degree is not constrained.
debug (boolean) – if True the first line of genbg’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 (string) – anything else that should be forwarded as input to Nauty’s genbg. See its documentation for more information : http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/nauty/.

Note

To use this method you must first install the Nauty spkg.

EXAMPLES:

sage: for g in digraphs.tournaments_nauty(4):
....:     print(g.edges(labels = False))
[(1, 0), (2, 0), (2, 1), (3, 0), (3, 1), (3, 2)]
[(1, 0), (1, 3), (2, 0), (2, 1), (3, 0), (3, 2)]
[(0, 2), (1, 0), (2, 1), (3, 0), (3, 1), (3, 2)]
[(0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 0), (2, 1), (3, 1), (3, 2)]
sage: tournaments = digraphs.tournaments_nauty
sage: [len(list(tournaments(x))) for x in range(1,8)]
[1, 1, 2, 4, 12, 56, 456]
sage: [len(list(tournaments(x, strongly_connected = True))) for x in range(1,9)]
[1, 0, 1, 1, 6, 35, 353, 6008]
