    22Information System on Graph Classes and their Inclusions
    33
    4 This module deals with anything related to the ISGCI database in Sage.
     4This module implements an interface to the `ISGCI <http://www.graphclasses.org/>`_ database in Sage.
    55
    6 The ISGCI database gathers information on graph classes and their inclusions in
    7 each other. It also contains information on the complexity of several
    8 computational problems.

    16 The current support of the ISGCI database is elementary, and aims at
    17 implementing a pure Sage/Python interface which is easier to deal with than a
    18 XML file. I hope this code will be rewritten many times until it stabilizes :-)
     16The current limited aim of this module is to provide a pure

    2020Presently, it is possible to use this database through the variables and methods
    21 present in the ``graph_classes`` object. For instance ::
     21present in the :obj:`graph_classes <sage.graphs.isgci.GraphClasses>` object.
     22For instance::
    2223
    2324    sage: Trees = graph_classes.Tree
    2425    sage: Chordal = graph_classes.Chordal
    2526
    26 It is then possible to check the inclusion of classes inside of others, if the
    27 information is available in the db::
     27It is then possible to check the inclusion of classes inside of
     28others, if the information is available in the database::
    2829
    2930    sage: Trees <= Chordal
    3031    True
    3132
    32 And indeed, the trees are chordal graphs.
     33And indeed, trees are chordal graphs.

    3435.. WARNING::
    3536
    36     At the moment, only the *yes* answers can be assumed to be true !
     37    At the moment, only *positive* answers are guaranteed correct!
    3738
    38     ISGCI may not contain the information necessary to prove that a class A is a
    39     subset of a class B, but that does not mean that class A is **NOT** a subset
    40     of B. It just means ISGCI has no idea. Hence, no **NO** answer can be
    41     assumed to be true at the moment.
    42 
    43     When asked to compare Trees and Chordal graphs, though, the correct answer
    44     is returned (as ISGCI obviously does not contain any proof that all chordal
    45     graphs are trees, which would be a mistake)::
     39    A *negative* answer to ``A <= B`` only means that ISGCI can't
     40    deduce from the information in its database that ``A`` is a
     41    subclass of ``B`` nor that it is not. For the reverse inclusion
     42    between Trees and Chordal graphs the answer is correct though::
    4643
    4744        sage: Chordal <= Trees
    4845        False
    4946
     47    TODO: what about using a Troolean?
     48
     49    TODO: what about strict inclusion?

    5051Given a graph class, one can obtain its associated information in the
    5152ISGCI database with the :meth:`show

    92 This lets one find a class which does not appear in ``graph_classes`` (and
    93 should really be replaced by a proper search method). Given the ISGCI ID code
    94 corresponding to a classe, the :meth:`get_class_from_id
    95 <sage.graphs.isgci.GraphClasses.get_class_from_id>` method returns the
    96 corresponding graph class::
     93Until a proper search method is implemented, this lets one find
     94classes which are not listed in :obj:`graph_classes <sage.graphs.isgci.GraphClasses>`.
     95
     96TODO: get_class_from_id is currently a method of graph_classes whereas
     97show_all is a function of this module. Should show_all be moved to
     98graph_classes for consistency?
     99
     100To retrieve a class of graph from its ISGCI ID one may use
     101:meth:`graph_classes.get_class_from_id <GraphClasses.get_class_from_id>`::
    97102
    98103    sage: GC = graph_classes.get_class_from_id("gc_5")

     228  the developpers section?
     229
    219230  Though it represents inclusions of sets, this ``DiGraph`` is **NOT
    220   ACYCLIC**. Several entries exist in the ISGCI database whise represent the

    246261
    247 * Find a proper way to find a graph class which does not appear in
    248   ``graph_classes`` by can be listed by :meth:`show_all
    249   <sage.graphs.isgci.show_all>`.
     262    * Some of the graph classes appearing in :obj:`graph_classes
     263      <sage.graphs.isgci.GraphClasses>` already have a recognition
     264      algorithm implemented in Sage. It would be so nice to be able to
     265      write ``g in Trees``, ``g in Perfect``, ``g in Chordal``, ... `:-)`

     267    Long-term stuff:
    254268
    255 Long-term stuff :
     269    * Implement simple accessors for all the information in the ISGCI
     270      database (as can be done from the website)
    256271
    257 * To be able to ask questions to ISGCI from the inside of Sage, easily enough,
    258   related to any information it contains (for instance everything that can be
    259   done through the website)
     272    * Implement intersection of graph classes
    260273
    261 * Write generic recognition algorithms for specific classes (when a graph class
    262   is defined by the exclusion of subgraphs, one can write a generic algorithm
    263   checking the existence of each of the graphs, and this method already exists
    264   in Sage).
     274    * Write generic recognition algorithms for specific classes (when a graph class
     275      is defined by the exclusion of subgraphs, one can write a generic algorithm
     276      checking the existence of each of the graphs, and this method already exists
     277      in Sage).
    265278
    266 * Modify our algorithms so that they could use the properties of a graph class
    267   to improve their performances. Right now, the same algorithm is used to find
    268   an independent set in a tree, in a planar graph, or any other graph.
     279    * Improve the performance of Sage's graph library by letting it
     280      take advantage of the properties of graph classes. For example,
     281      :meth:`Graph.independent_set` could use the library to detect
     282      that a given graph is, say, a tree or a planar graph, and use a
     283      specialized algorithm for finding an independent set.
