[docs]@not_implemented_for('directed') def k_components(G, flow_func=None): r"""Returns the k-component structure of a graph G. A `k`-component is a maximal subgraph of a graph G that has, at least, node connectivity `k`: we need to remove at least `k` nodes to break it into more components. `k`-components have an inherent hierarchical structure because they are nested in terms of connectivity: a connected graph can contain several 2-components, each of which can contain one or more 3-components, and so forth. Parameters ---------- G : NetworkX graph flow_func : function Function to perform the underlying flow computations. Default value :meth:`edmonds_karp`. This function performs better in sparse graphs with right tailed degree distributions. :meth:`shortest_augmenting_path` will perform better in denser graphs. Returns ------- k_components : dict Dictionary with all connectivity levels `k` in the input Graph as keys and a list of sets of nodes that form a k-component of level `k` as values. Raises ------ NetworkXNotImplemented: If the input graph is directed. Examples -------- >>> # Petersen graph has 10 nodes and it is triconnected, thus all >>> # nodes are in a single component on all three connectivity levels >>> G = nx.petersen_graph() >>> k_components = nx.k_components(G) Notes ----- Moody and White [1]_ (appendix A) provide an algorithm for identifying k-components in a graph, which is based on Kanevsky's algorithm [2]_ for finding all minimum-size node cut-sets of a graph (implemented in :meth:`all_node_cuts` function): 1. Compute node connectivity, k, of the input graph G. 2. Identify all k-cutsets at the current level of connectivity using Kanevsky's algorithm. 3. Generate new graph components based on the removal of these cutsets. Nodes in a cutset belong to both sides of the induced cut. 4. If the graph is neither complete nor trivial, return to 1; else end. This implementation also uses some heuristics (see [3]_ for details) to speed up the computation. See also -------- node_connectivity all_node_cuts biconnected_components : special case of this function when k=2 k_edge_components : similar to this function, but uses edge-connectivity instead of node-connectivity References ---------- ..
