graphcalc 1.2.4

A Python package for graph computation functions

GraphCalc

Overview

graphcalc is a Python package for performing a variety of graph computations, including maximum clique detection, chromatic number calculation, and vertex cover identification. It is built on top of networkx and provides efficient implementations of fundamental graph theory algorithms.

Features

• Maximum Clique: Finds the maximum clique in a given graph.
• Chromatic Number: Computes the minimum number of colors required for graph coloring.
• Vertex and Edge Cover: Determines vertex and edge covers.
• Matching and Independence: Calculates maximum matching and independent sets.
• Domination Number and its Variants: Calculates the domination number, total domination number, and many other domination variants.
• Degree Sequence Invariants: Calculates the residue, annihilaiton number, the slater number and more!
• Zero Forcing: Calculates the zero forcing number, the total zero forcing number, the positive semidefinite zero forcing number, and the power domination number.

Installation

To install graphcalc, make sure you have Python 3.7 or higher, then install it:

pip install graphcalc

Linear and Integer Programming Solvers

Many of the NP-hard graph invariant computations of GraphCalc depend on third-party solvers.At least one of the following is required if you intend to use solver-based functions (e.g., gc.maximum_independent_set(G)):

• CBC (recommended):

brew install cbc      # macOS
sudo apt install coinor-cbc  # Debian/Ubuntu

GraphCalc will attempt to automatically detect the solver if it is installed. You can also manually specify the solver in API calls.

Example Graph Usage

from graphcalc import (
    independence_number,
    domination_number,
    zero_forcing_number,
)
from graphcalc.generators import petersen_graph

# Calculate and print the independence number of the Petersen graph.
G = petersen_graph()
print(f"Petersen graph independence number = {independence_number(G)}")

# Calculate and print the domination number of the Petersen graph.
print(f"Petersen graph domination number = {domination_number(G)}")

# Calculate and print the zero forcing number of the Petersen graph.
print(f"Petersen graph zero forcing number = {zero_forcing_number(G)}")

Example Polytope Usage

import graphcalc as gc
from graphcalc.polytopes.generators import (
    cube_graph,
    octahedron_graph,
    dodecahedron_graph,
    tetrahedron_graph,
    icosahedron_graph,
    convex_polytopes_text_example,
)

# Generate polytope graphs (cubes, octahedra, etc.)
G1 = cube_graph()
G2 = octahedron_graph()
G3 = dodecahedron_graph()
G4 = tetrahedron_graph()
G5 = icosahedron_graph()
G6 = convex_polytopes_text_example(1)
G7 = convex_polytopes_text_example(2)


# Function names to compute
function_names = [
    "order", # number of vertices
    "size", # number of edges
    "p_vector",
    "independence_number",
    "vertex_cover_number",
    "maximum_degree",
    "average_degree",
    "minimum_degree",
    "spectral_radius",
    "diameter",
    "radius",
    "girth",
    "algebraic_connectivity",
    "largest_laplacian_eigenvalue",
    "second_largest_adjacency_eigenvalue",
    "smallest_adjacency_eigenvalue",
    "fullerene",
    ]

# Compute properties for multiple polytopes
graphs = [G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7]
df = gc.compute_knowledge_table(function_names, graphs)

Creating Simple Graphs, Polytope Graphs, and Simple Polytope Graphs

import graphcalc as gc

# Draw a simple graph
G = gc.SimpleGraph(name="Example Graph")
G.add_edges_from([(0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3)])
G.draw()
