EdgeComponentAuxGraph
[source]¶ A simple algorithm to find all k-edge-connected components in a graph.
Constructing the AuxillaryGraph (which may take some time) allows for the k-edge-ccs to be found in linear time for arbitrary k.
Notes
This implementation is based on 1. The idea is to construct an auxiliary graph from which the k-edge-ccs can be extracted in linear time. The auxiliary graph is constructed in \(O(|V|\cdot F)\) operations, where F is the complexity of max flow. Querying the components takes an additional \(O(|V|)\) operations. This algorithm can be slow for large graphs, but it handles an arbitrary k and works for both directed and undirected inputs.
The undirected case for k=1 is exactly connected components. The undirected case for k=2 is exactly bridge connected components. The directed case for k=1 is exactly strongly connected components.

Example
>>> import itertools as it >>> from networkx.utils import pairwise >>> from networkx.algorithms.connectivity import EdgeComponentAuxGraph >>> # Build an interesting graph with multiple levels of k-edge-ccs >>> paths = [ ... (1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 3, 4, 2), # a 3-edge-cc (a 4 clique) ... (5, 6, 7, 5), # a 2-edge-cc (a 3 clique) ... (1, 5), # combine first two ccs into a 1-edge-cc ... (0,), # add an additional disconnected 1-edge-cc ... ] >>> G = nx.Graph() >>> G.add_nodes_from(it.chain(*paths)) >>> G.add_edges_from(it.chain(*[pairwise(path) for path in paths])) >>> # Constructing the AuxGraph takes about O(n ** 4) >>> aux_graph = EdgeComponentAuxGraph.construct(G) >>> # Once constructed, querying takes O(n) >>> sorted(map(sorted, aux_graph.k_edge_components(k=1))) [[0], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]] >>> sorted(map(sorted, aux_graph.k_edge_components(k=2))) [[0], [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7]] >>> sorted(map(sorted, aux_graph.k_edge_components(k=3))) [[0], [1, 2, 3, 4], [5], [6], [7]] >>> sorted(map(sorted, aux_graph.k_edge_components(k=4))) [[0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]]
