Algebra.Graph.NonEmpty

Alga is a library for algebraic construction and manipulation of graphs in Haskell. See this paper for the motivation behind the library, the underlying theory, and implementation details.

This module defines the data type Graph for algebraic graphs that are known to be non-empty at compile time. To avoid name clashes with Algebra.Graph, this module can be imported qualified:

import qualified Algebra.Graph.NonEmpty as NonEmpty

The naming convention generally follows that of Data.List.NonEmpty: we use suffix 1 to indicate the functions whose interface must be changed compared to Algebra.Graph, e.g. vertices1.

Non-empty algebraic graphs

data Graph a

Non-empty algebraic graphs, which are constructed using three primitives: vertex, overlay and connect. See module Algebra.Graph for algebraic graphs that can be empty.

We define a Num instance as a convenient notation for working with graphs:

0           == vertex 0
1 + 2       == overlay (vertex 1) (vertex 2)
1 * 2       == connect (vertex 1) (vertex 2)
1 + 2 * 3   == overlay (vertex 1) (connect (vertex 2) (vertex 3))
1 * (2 + 3) == connect (vertex 1) (overlay (vertex 2) (vertex 3))

Note: the signum method of the type class Num cannot be implemented and will throw an error. Furthermore, the Num instance does not satisfy several "customary laws" of Num, which dictate that fromInteger 0 and fromInteger 1 should act as additive and multiplicative identities, and negate as additive inverse. Nevertheless, overloading fromInteger, + and * is very convenient when working with algebraic graphs; we hope that in future Haskell's Prelude will provide a more fine-grained class hierarchy for algebraic structures, which we would be able to utilise without violating any laws.

The Eq instance satisfies the following laws of non-empty algebraic graphs.

• overlay is commutative, associative and idempotent:

        x + y == y + x
  x + (y + z) == (x + y) + z
        x + x == x

• connect is associative:

  x * (y * z) == (x * y) * z

• connect distributes over overlay:

  x * (y + z) == x * y + x * z
  (x + y) * z == x * z + y * z

• connect can be decomposed:

  x * y * z == x * y + x * z + y * z

• connect satisfies absorption and saturation:

  x * y + x + y == x * y
      x * x * x == x * x

When specifying the time and memory complexity of graph algorithms, n will denote the number of vertices in the graph, m will denote the number of edges in the graph, and s will denote the size of the corresponding Graph expression, defined as the number of vertex leaves (note that n <= s). If g is a Graph, the corresponding n, m and s can be computed as follows:

n == vertexCount g
m == edgeCount g
s == size g

Converting a Graph to the corresponding AdjacencyMap takes O(s + m * log(m)) time and O(s + m) memory. This is also the complexity of the graph equality test, because it is currently implemented by converting graph expressions to canonical representations based on adjacency maps.

The total order Ord on graphs is defined using size-lexicographic comparison:

• Compare the number of vertices. In case of a tie, continue.
• Compare the sets of vertices. In case of a tie, continue.
• Compare the number of edges. In case of a tie, continue.
• Compare the sets of edges.

Here are a few examples:

vertex 1 < vertex 2
vertex 3 < edge 1 2
vertex 1 < edge 1 1
edge 1 1 < edge 1 2
edge 1 2 < edge 1 1 + edge 2 2
edge 1 2 < edge 1 3

Note that the resulting order refines the isSubgraphOf relation and is compatible with overlay and connect operations:

isSubgraphOf x y ==> x <= y

x     <= x + y
x + y <= x * y

Graph folding

foldg1 :: (a -> b) -> (b -> b -> b) -> (b -> b -> b) -> Graph a -> b

Complexity: O(s) applications of the given functions. As an example, the complexity of size is O(s), since const and + have constant costs.

simplify :: Ord a => Graph a -> Graph a

Simplify a graph expression. Semantically, this is the identity function, but it simplifies a given expression according to the laws of the algebra.

It is guaranteed that the size of the result does not exceed the size of the given expression.

sparsify :: Graph a -> Graph (Either Int a)

Sparsify a graph by adding intermediate Left Int vertices between the original vertices (wrapping the latter in Right) such that the resulting graph is sparse, i.e. contains only O(s) edges, but preserves the reachability relation between the original vertices. Sparsification is useful when working with dense graphs, as it can reduce the number of edges from O(n^2) down to O(n) by replacing cliques, bicliques and similar densely connected structures by sparse subgraphs built out of intermediate vertices. Complexity: O(s) time, memory and size.

sort . reachable x       == sort . rights . reachable (Right x) . sparsify
vertexCount (sparsify x) <= vertexCount x + size x + 1
edgeCount   (sparsify x) <= 3 * size x
size        (sparsify x) <= 3 * size x

sparsifyKL :: Int -> Graph Int -> Graph

Sparsify a graph whose vertices are integers in the range [1..n], where n is the first argument of the function, producing an array-based graph representation from Data.Graph (introduced by King and Launchbury, hence the name of the function). In the resulting graph, vertices [1..n] correspond to the original vertices, and all vertices greater than n are introduced by the sparsification procedure.

Complexity: O(s) time and memory. Note that thanks to sparsification, the resulting graph has a linear number of edges with respect to the size of the original algebraic representation even though the latter can potentially contain a quadratic O(s^2) number of edges.

sort . reachable k                 == sort . filter (<= n) . flip reachable k . sparsifyKL n
length (vertices $ sparsifyKL n x) <= vertexCount x + size x + 1
length (edges    $ sparsifyKL n x) <= 3 * size x

Graph composition

box :: Graph a -> Graph b -> Graph (a, b)

Compute the Cartesian product of graphs. Complexity: O(s1 * s2) time, memory and size, where s1 and s2 are the sizes of the given graphs.

box (path1 [0,1]) (path1 ['a','b']) == edges1 [ ((0,'a'), (0,'b'))
                                              , ((0,'a'), (1,'a'))
                                              , ((0,'b'), (1,'b'))
                                              , ((1,'a'), (1,'b')) ]

Up to isomorphism between the resulting vertex types, this operation is commutative, associative, distributes over overlay, and has singleton graphs as identities. Below ~~ stands for equality up to an isomorphism, e.g. (x, ()) ~~ x.

box x y               ~~ box y x
box x (box y z)       ~~ box (box x y) z
box x (overlay y z)   == overlay (box x y) (box x z)
box x (vertex ())     ~~ x
transpose   (box x y) == box (transpose x) (transpose y)
vertexCount (box x y) == vertexCount x * vertexCount y
edgeCount   (box x y) <= vertexCount x * edgeCount y + edgeCount x * vertexCount y
