[docs]def quotient_graph(G, partition, edge_relation=None, node_data=None, edge_data=None, relabel=False, 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. partition : function or list of sets If a function, 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. If a list of sets, the list must form a valid partition of the nodes of the graph. That is, each node must be in exactly one block of the partition. 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`. edge_data : function This function takes two arguments, *B* and *C*, each one a set of nodes, and must return a dictionary representing the edge data attributes to set on the edge joining *B* and *C*, should there be an edge joining *B* and *C* in the quotient graph (if no such edge occurs in the quotient graph as determined by `edge_relation`, then the output of this function is ignored). If the quotient graph would be a multigraph, this function is not applied, since the edge data from each edge in the graph `G` appears in the edges of the quotient graph. node_data : function This function takes one argument, *B*, a set of nodes in `G`, and must return a dictionary representing the node data attributes to set on the node representing *B* in the quotient graph. If None, the following node attributes will be set: * 'graph', the subgraph of the graph `G` that this block represents, * 'nnodes', the number of nodes in this block, * 'nedges', the number of edges within this block, * 'density', the density of the subgraph of `G` that this block represents. relabel : bool If True, relabel the nodes of the quotient graph to be nonnegative integers. Otherwise, the nodes are identified with :class:`frozenset` instances representing the blocks given in `partition`. create_using : NetworkX graph constructor, optional (default=nx.Graph) Graph type to create. If graph instance, then cleared before populated. Returns ------- NetworkX graph The quotient graph of `G` under the equivalence relation specified by `partition`. If the partition were given as a list of :class:`set` instances and `relabel` is False, each node will be a :class:`frozenset` corresponding to the same :class:`set`. Raises ------ NetworkXException If the given partition is not a valid partition of the nodes of `G`. 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', ... 'ef', 'fg', 'gf', 'hd', 'hf'] >>> G.add_edges_from(tuple(x) for x in edges) >>> components = list(nx.strongly_connected_components(G)) >>> sorted(sorted(component) for component in components) [['a', 'b', 'e'], ['c', 'd', 'h'], ['f', 'g']] >>> >>> C = nx.condensation(G, components) >>> component_of = C.graph['mapping'] >>> same_component = lambda u, v: component_of[u] == component_of[v] >>> Q = nx.quotient_graph(G, same_component) >>> nx.is_isomorphic(C, Q) True Node identification can be represented as the quotient of a graph under the equivalence relation that places the two nodes in one block and each other node in its own singleton block:: >>> import networkx as nx >>> K24 = nx.complete_bipartite_graph(2, 4) >>> K34 = nx.complete_bipartite_graph(3, 4) >>> C = nx.contracted_nodes(K34, 1, 2) >>> nodes = {1, 2} >>> is_contracted = lambda u, v: u in nodes and v in nodes >>> Q = nx.quotient_graph(K34, is_contracted) >>> nx.is_isomorphic(Q, C) True >>> nx.is_isomorphic(Q, K24) True The blockmodeling technique described in [1]_ can be implemented as a quotient graph:: >>> G = nx.path_graph(6) >>> partition = [{0, 1}, {2, 3}, {4, 5}] >>> M = nx.quotient_graph(G, partition, relabel=True) >>> list(M.edges()) [(0, 1), (1, 2)] .. _Strongly connected component: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strongly_connected_component References ---------- ..
