graph_tools - tools for graph theory and network science with many generation models

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents graph-tools module, a Python module that provides a number of features for handling directed/undirected graphs and complex networks. graph-tools was initially developed for networking researchers, who perform experiments in the field of graph theory and network science. graph-tools provides Graph class, which supports both directed and undirected graphs with multi-edges, vertex weights, edge weights, and graph attributes. A number of graph/network generation models and graph algorithms are supported.

Major features of graph-tools are:

  • directed/undirected graph with multi-edges, vertex weights, edge weights, and graph attributes

  • vertex operations (add, delete, degree, neighbors, random vertex, and set/get vertex attributes)

  • edge operations (add, delete, random edge, and set/get edge attributes)

  • graph operations (copy, adjacency matrix, diagonal matrix, Laplacian matrix)

  • major graph algorithms (exploration, connectivity, components, maximal component, Dijkstra, Floyd-Warshall, betweenness centrality)

  • spectral graph theory (spectral radius, spectral gap, natural connectivity, algebraic connectivity, effective_resistance, and spanning tree count)

  • a number of graph/network generation models (random graph, ER (Erdos Renyi), BA (Barabasi Albert), randomized BA, ring, tree, binary tree, BA tree, generalized BA, latent, lattice, Voronoi, DB (Degree Bounded), configuration model, random regular graph, Li-Miani graph)

  • graph import/export in DOT (GraphViz) format

HISTORY

The development of graph-tools started in 2007, which was initially an extension to Graph module in CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) by Jarkko Hietaniemi. Our Perl module has been called graphtools for long time and Perl module names were Graph::Util and Graph::Enhanced. graphtools in Perl has been developed until 2018. Python version of graph-tools was born in 2018 by porting graphtools in Perl to Python. Hence, the internal structure and the coding style receives significant influence from Graph module by Jarkko Hietaniemi.

EXAMPLE

from graph_tools import Graph

# create a graph with four nodes and two edges
g = Graph(directed=True)
g.add_edge(1, 2)
g.add_edge(2, 3)
g.add_vertex(4)
print(g)

# find the all shortest paths from vertex 1
dist, prev = g.dijkstra(1)
print(dist)

# generate BA graph with 100 vertices
g = Graph(directed=False).create_graph('barabasi', 100)

# check if all vertices are mutually connected
print(g.is_connected())

# compute the betweenness centrality of vertex 1
print(g.betweenness(1))
