Module type Std.Graph

Graph signature.

A graph is a set of relations between objects, defined as a pair of two sets

G = (V,E).

where $V$ is a set of vertices and E is a set of vertices, which is a subset of V x V, therefore a more precise definition is a 6-tuple, consisting of a set of nodes, edges, node labels, edge labels, and two functions that maps nodes and edges to their corresponding labels:

G = (N, E, N', E', ν : N -> N', ε : E -> E'),

where set E is a subset of N × N .

With this general framework an unlabeled graph can be represented as:

G = (N, E, N, E, ν = λx.x, ε = λx.x)

Another possible representation of an unlabeled graph would be:

G = (N, E, {u}, {v}, ν = λx.u, ε = λx.v).

Implementations are free to choose any suitable representation of graph data structure, if it conforms to the graph signature and all operations follows the described semantics and properties of a graph structure are preserved.

The axiomatic semantics of operations on a graph is described by a set of postconditions. To describe the semantics of an operation in terms of input and output arguments, we project graphs to its fields with the following notation <field>(<graph>), e.g., N(g) is a set of nodes of graph g.

type t

type of graph

type node

type of nodes

type edge

type of edges

module Node : Node with type graph = t and type t = node and type edge = edge

Graph nodes.

module Edge : Edge with type graph = t and type t = edge and type node = node

Graph edges

val empty : t

empty is an empty graph

val nodes : t -> node Regular.Std.seq

nodes g returns all nodes of graph g in an unspecified order

val edges : t -> edge Regular.Std.seq

edges g returns all edges of graph g in an unspecified order

val is_directed : bool

is_directed is true if graph is a directed graph.

val number_of_edges : t -> int

number_of_edges g returns the size of a graph g.

val number_of_nodes : t -> int

number_of_nodes g returns the order of a graph g

All graphs provides a common interface for any opaque data structure

All graphs are printable.

include Regular.Std.Printable.S with type t := t
val to_string : t -> string

to_string x returns a human-readable representation of x

val str : unit -> t -> string

str () t is formatted output function that matches "%a" conversion format specifier in functions, that prints to string, e.g., sprintf, failwithf, errorf and, surprisingly all Lwt printing function, including Lwt_io.printf and logging (or any other function with type ('a,unit,string,...) formatN`. Example:

Or_error.errorf "type %a is not valid for %a"
  Type.str ty Exp.str exp
val pps : unit -> t -> string

synonym for str

val ppo : Core_kernel.Out_channel.t -> t -> unit

will print to a standard output_channel, useful for using in printf, fprintf, etc.

val pp_seq : Stdlib.Format.formatter -> t Core_kernel.Sequence.t -> unit

prints a sequence of values of type t

this will include pp function from Core that has type t printer, and can be used in Format.printf family of functions

include Core_kernel.Pretty_printer.S with type t := t
val pp : Base__.Formatter.t -> t -> unit
