[docs]@not_implemented_for('directed') def gomory_hu_tree(G, capacity='capacity', flow_func=None): r"""Returns the Gomory-Hu tree of an undirected graph G. A Gomory-Hu tree of an undirected graph with capacities is a weighted tree that represents the minimum s-t cuts for all s-t pairs in the graph. It only requires `n-1` minimum cut computations instead of the obvious `n(n-1)/2`. The tree represents all s-t cuts as the minimum cut value among any pair of nodes is the minimum edge weight in the shortest path between the two nodes in the Gomory-Hu tree. The Gomory-Hu tree also has the property that removing the edge with the minimum weight in the shortest path between any two nodes leaves two connected components that form a partition of the nodes in G that defines the minimum s-t cut. See Examples section below for details. Parameters ---------- G : NetworkX graph Undirected graph capacity : string Edges of the graph G are expected to have an attribute capacity that indicates how much flow the edge can support. If this attribute is not present, the edge is considered to have infinite capacity. Default value: 'capacity'. flow_func : function Function to perform the underlying flow computations. Default value :func:`edmonds_karp`. This function performs better in sparse graphs with right tailed degree distributions. :func:`shortest_augmenting_path` will perform better in denser graphs. Returns ------- Tree : NetworkX graph A NetworkX graph representing the Gomory-Hu tree of the input graph. Raises ------ NetworkXNotImplemented : Exception Raised if the input graph is directed. NetworkXError: Exception Raised if the input graph is an empty Graph.
