[docs]def quotient_graph(G, node_relation, edge_relation=None, create_using=None): """Returns the quotient graph of ``G`` under the specified equivalence relation on nodes. Parameters ---------- G : NetworkX graph The graph for which to return the quotient graph with the specified node relation. node_relation : Boolean function with two arguments This function must represent an equivalence relation on the nodes of ``G``. It must take two arguments *u* and *v* and return ``True`` exactly when *u* and *v* are in the same equivalence class. The equivalence classes form the nodes in the returned graph. edge_relation : Boolean function with two arguments This function must represent an edge relation on the *blocks* of ``G`` in the partition induced by ``node_relation``. It must take two arguments, *B* and *C*, each one a set of nodes, and return ``True`` exactly when there should be an edge joining block *B* to block *C* in the returned graph. If ``edge_relation`` is not specified, it is assumed to be the following relation. Block *B* is related to block *C* if and only if some node in *B* is adjacent to some node in *C*, according to the edge set of ``G``. create_using : NetworkX graph If specified, this must be an instance of a NetworkX graph class. The nodes and edges of the quotient graph will be added to this graph and returned. If not specified, the returned graph will have the same type as the input graph. Returns ------- NetworkX graph The quotient graph of ``G`` under the equivalence relation specified by ``node_relation``. Examples -------- The quotient graph of the complete bipartite graph under the "same neighbors" equivalence relation is `K_2`. Under this relation, two nodes are equivalent if they are not adjacent but have the same neighbor set:: >>> import networkx as nx >>> G = nx.complete_bipartite_graph(2, 3) >>> same_neighbors = lambda u, v: (u not in G[v] and v not in G[u] ... and G[u] == G[v]) >>> Q = nx.quotient_graph(G, same_neighbors) >>> K2 = nx.complete_graph(2) >>> nx.is_isomorphic(Q, K2) True The quotient graph of a directed graph under the "same strongly connected component" equivalence relation is the condensation of the graph (see :func:`condensation`). This example comes from the Wikipedia article *`Strongly connected component`_*:: >>> import networkx as nx >>> G = nx.DiGraph() >>> edges = ['ab', 'be', 'bf', 'bc', 'cg', 'cd', 'dc', 'dh', 'ea', ...
