chordal_graph_treewidth

chordal_graph_treewidth(G)

Returns the treewidth of the chordal graph G.

Parameters :

G : graph

A NetworkX graph

Returns :

treewidth : int

The size of the largest clique in the graph minus one.

Raises :

NetworkXError :

The algorithm does not support DiGraph, MultiGraph and MultiDiGraph. If the input graph is an instance of one of these classes, a NetworkXError is raised. The algorithm can only be applied to chordal graphs. If the input graph is found to be non-chordal, a NetworkXError is raised.

Examples

>>> import networkx as nx
>>> e = [(1,2),(1,3),(2,3),(2,4),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,5),(4,6),(5,6),(7,8)]
>>> G = nx.Graph(e)
>>> G.add_node(9)
