Description
sage: G = Graph([(1,2),(2,3),(2,3),(3,4),(1,4),(1,4),(4,5),(5,6),(4,6),(6,7)],multiedges=True) sage: G.cycle_basis() getting [[1, 4], [1, 4]]
It should be
[[5, 6, 4], [2, 3, 4, 1]]

Problem is due to
sage: G = Graph([(1,2),(2,3),(2,3),(3,4),(1,4),(1,4),(4,5),(5,6),(4,6),(6,7)],multiedges=True) sage: w=G.subgraph(edges=[(1,4,None)]) sage: w Subgraph of (): Multi-graph on 7 vertices sage: w.edges() [(1, 4, None), (1, 4, None)]
Subgraph is returning with multiple edges instead it should have an edge 1 time(maybe).
Also I am not sure of the definition should the answer for this graph be
[[5, 6, 4], [2, 3, 4, 1]]
OR
[[5, 6, 4], [2, 3, 4, 1],[1,4],[2,3]]

Graphs should be simple and unweighted :P
Concerning .subgraph
, the result you get is what is documented
- ``vertices`` -- a single vertex or an iterable container of vertices, e.g. a list, set, graph, file or numeric array. If not passed (i.e., ``None``), defaults to the entire graph. - ``edges`` -- as with ``vertices``, edges can be a single edge or an iterable container of edges (e.g., a list, set, file, numeric array, etc.). By default (``edges=None``), all edges are assumed and the returned graph is an induced subgraph. In the case of multiple edges, specifying an edge as `(u,v)` means to keep all edges `(u,v)`, regardless of the label.
There is a mistake in the documentation. It is documented that output
can be 'vertex'
or 'edges'
, but
sage: G.cycle_basis(output='edges') --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-19-c82db06774e5> in <module>() ----> 1 G.cycle_basis(output='edges') /Users/dcoudert/sage/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/graphs/generic_graph.pyc in cycle_basis(self, output) 4556 """ 4557 if not output in ['vertex', 'edge']: -> 4558 raise ValueError('output must be either vertex or edge') 4559 4560 if self.allows_multiple_edges(): ValueError: output must be either vertex or edge sage: G.cycle_basis(output='edge') [[(1, 4, None), (4, 1, None)], [(1, 4, None), (4, 1, None)]]
I don't know how to fix the issue.

Replying to dcoudert:
Graphs should be simple and unweighted :P
but in the examples of cycle_basis following is given: here G is non simple
For undirected graphs with multiple edges: sage: G = Graph([(0, 2, 'a'), (0, 2, 'b'), (0, 1, 'c'), (1, 2, 'd')], multiedges=True) sage: G.cycle_basis() [[0, 2], [2, 1, 0]] sage: G.cycle_basis(output='edge') [[(0, 2, 'a'), (2, 0, 'b')], [(2, 1, 'd'), (1, 0, 'c'), (0, 2, 'a')]]
comment:5 Changed 3 years ago by
It was a joke. Our life would be much easier without multiedges...
comment:6 Changed 3 years ago by
Haha it really would be...
comment:7 Changed 3 years ago by
It will work fine if instead of this line in cycle_basis()
return [self.subgraph(edges=T + [e]).is_forest(certificate=True, output=output)[1] for e in self.edge_iterator() if not e in T]
we use
return [Graph(edges=T + [e]).is_forest(certificate=True, output=output)[1] for e in self.edge_iterator() if not e in T]
Since self.subgraph(e) includes multiple existing copies of e as mentioned above in comment and, if two copies of e = (x,y) are in graph and suppose e got included in T, then there is a cycle including (x,y) always in subgraph(T+[e]), which is returned. So, to avoid that we should use the above method. But it will require extra overhead of creating Graph multiple times, maybe we can use this method only when G has parameter multiedges=True.
comment:8 Changed 3 years ago by
For, example this works right.
sage: G = Graph([(1,2),(2,3),(2,3),(3,4),(1,4),(1,4),(4,5),(5,6),(4,6),(6,7)],multiedges=True) sage: T = G.min_spanning_tree() sage: [Graph(T + [e], multiedges=True).is_forest(certificate=True, output='vertex')[1] for e in G.edge_iterator() if not e in T] [[4, 3, 2, 1], [6, 5, 4]]
Though, it will not return some cycle of length 2(resulting from multiple edges between two vertices) when multiple edges e gets included in T because 'if not e in T' evaluates to False then.
comment:9 Changed 3 years ago by
I think the answer should be
[[5, 6, 4], [2, 3, 4, 1],[1,4],[2,3]]
according to definition of cycle_basis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_basis
comment:10 Changed 3 years ago by
Yes. I think it fixes this.
sage: G = Graph([(1,2),(2,3),(2,3),(3,4),(1,4),(1,4),(4,5),(5,6),(4,6),(6,7)],multiedges=True) sage: T = G.min_spanning_tree() sage: H = G.copy() sage: H.delete_edges(T) sage: [Graph(T + [e], multiedges=True).is_forest(certificate=True, output='vertex')[1] for e in H.edge_iterator()] [[1, 4], [2, 3], [4, 3, 2, 1], [6, 5, 4]]
comment:11 Changed 3 years ago by
I have sent diff #27563 for it by mistake instead of sending diff on this ticket.
Please review it.
I have imported Graph from sage.graphs.graph in cycle_basis() function to create instance of Graph.
comment:12 Changed 3 years ago by
I suggest to move the branch from #27563 to this ticket and mark #27563 as duplicate. The motivation for that is that the discussion is in this ticket.
Some comments on the branch:
- instead of calling
is_forest
, you should callis_tree
. Indeed, at this point of the code, you know that the graph is connected, so there is no need to check that again inis_forest
. Actually, methodis_tree
will also check if the graph is connected. - align
output=output
belowcertificate=True
- add a doctest with the example of this ticket

In sage we follow pep8 style: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
- sage: H = Graph([(1,2),(2,3),(2,3),(3,4),(1,4),(1,4),(4,5),(5,6),(4,6),(6,7)],multiedges=True) - sage: H.cycle_basis() - [[1, 4], [2, 3], [4, 3, 2, 1], [6, 5, 4]] + sage: H = Graph([(1, 2), (2, 3), (2, 3), (3, 4), (1, 4), (1, 4), (4, 5), (5, 6), (4, 6), (6, 7)], multiedges=True) + sage: H.cycle_basis() + [[1, 4], [2, 3], [4, 3, 2, 1], [6, 5, 4]]
Also you can add a Wikipedia reference explaining cycle_basis just after its definition
+ See the :wikipedia:`Cycle_basis` for more information.

return [Graph(T + [e], multiedges=True).is_tree(certificate=True, output=output)[1] for e in H.edge_iterator()]
instead of creating a new graph again and again you can create a single graph from T and then you may add and delete edge e in H.edge_iterator to that graph.
comment:22 Changed 3 years ago by
That's right, you can do something like:
from sage.graphs.graph import Graph T = Graph(self.min_spanning_tree(), multiedges=True, format='list_of_edges') H = self.copy() H.delete_edges(T.edge_iterator()) L = [] for e in H.edge_iterator(): T.add_edge(e) L.append(T.is_tree(certificate=True, output=output)[1]) T.delete_edge(e) return L

comment:24 Changed 3 years ago by
Note that T is a list. So you can't use add_edge in that. You need to construct a graph from T first
T = Graph(self.min_spanning_tree(), multiedges=True, format='list_of_edges')

Yeah. I missed that. I don't get why tests went silent. Maybe, I didn't do ./sage -br?

I usually do ./sage -btp --long src/sage/graphs/generic_graph.py

For me this patch is now good to go. Thanks.

comment:28 Changed 3 years ago by
A few improvements:
- Note that Networkx implementation of cycle_basis also does not work for directed graphs so we can check that at the start of the code and return the appropriate error there only.
- A small grammatical error ;)
- a dictionary associating an unique vector to each undirected edge:: + a dictionary associating a unique vector to each undirected edge::
- Since the copy parameter of Networkx graph has been deprecated(ticket:27491) you may remove it:
- cycle_basis_v = networkx.cycle_basis(self.networkx_graph(copy=False)) + cycle_basis_v = networkx.cycle_basis(self.networkx_graph())

I think this discrepency is due to the is_forest function which in turn is calling is_tree function and in it following lines of code is written to return the found cycle:
