Connectivity¶

Connectivity and cut algorithms

Edge-augmentation¶

Algorithms for finding k-edge-augmentations

A k-edge-augmentation is a set of edges, that once added to a graph, ensures that the graph is k-edge-connected; i.e. the graph cannot be disconnected unless k or more edges are removed. Typically, the goal is to find the augmentation with minimum weight. In general, it is not guaranteed that a k-edge-augmentation exists.

K-edge-components¶

Algorithms for finding k-edge-connected components and subgraphs.

A k-edge-connected component (k-edge-cc) is a maximal set of nodes in G, such that all pairs of node have an edge-connectivity of at least k.

A k-edge-connected subgraph (k-edge-subgraph) is a maximal set of nodes in G, such that the subgraph of G defined by the nodes has an edge-connectivity at least k.

`k_edge_components`(G, k)	Generates nodes in each maximal k-edge-connected component in G.
`k_edge_subgraphs`(G, k)	Generates nodes in each maximal k-edge-connected subgraph in G.
`bridge_components`(G)	Finds all bridge-connected components G.
`EdgeComponentAuxGraph`()	A simple algorithm to find all k-edge-connected components in a graph.

K-node-components¶

Moody and White algorithm for k-components

k_components(G[, flow_func])

Returns the k-component structure of a graph G.

K-node-cutsets¶

Kanevsky all minimum node k cutsets algorithm.

all_node_cuts(G[, k, flow_func])

Returns all minimum k cutsets of an undirected graph G.

`edge_disjoint_paths`(G, s, t[, flow_func, …])	Returns the edges disjoint paths between source and target.
`node_disjoint_paths`(G, s, t[, flow_func, …])	Computes node disjoint paths between source and target.

Flow-based Connectivity¶

Flow based connectivity algorithms

`average_node_connectivity`(G[, flow_func])	Returns the average connectivity of a graph G.
`all_pairs_node_connectivity`(G[, nbunch, …])	Compute node connectivity between all pairs of nodes of G.

`local_node_connectivity`(G, s, t[, …])	Computes local node connectivity for nodes s and t.
`node_connectivity`(G[, s, t, flow_func])	Returns node connectivity for a graph or digraph G.

Flow-based Minimum Cuts¶

Flow based cut algorithms

`minimum_edge_cut`(G[, s, t, flow_func])	Returns a set of edges of minimum cardinality that disconnects G.
`minimum_node_cut`(G[, s, t, flow_func])	Returns a set of nodes of minimum cardinality that disconnects G.
`minimum_st_edge_cut`(G, s, t[, flow_func, …])	Returns the edges of the cut-set of a minimum (s, t)-cut.
`minimum_st_node_cut`(G, s, t[, flow_func, …])	Returns a set of nodes of minimum cardinality that disconnect source from target in G.
