A basis for cycles of a network is a minimal collection of cycles such that any cycle in the network can be written as a sum of cycles in the basis.

[docs] @nx._dispatch def simple_cycles(G, length_bound=None): """Find simple cycles (elementary circuits) of a graph. A `simple cycle`, or `elementary circuit`, is a closed path where no node appears twice. In a directed graph, two simple cycles are distinct if they are not cyclic permutations of each other. In an undirected graph, two simple cycles are distinct if they are not cyclic permutations of each other nor of the other's reversal. Optionally, the cycles are bounded in length. In the unbounded case, we use a nonrecursive, iterator/generator version of Johnson's algorithm [1]_. In the bounded case, we use a version of the algorithm of Gupta and Suzumura[2]_. There may be better algorithms for some cases [3]_ [4]_ [5]_. The algorithms of Johnson, and Gupta and Suzumura, are enhanced by some well-known preprocessing techniques. When G is directed, we restrict our attention to strongly connected components of G, generate all simple cycles containing a certain node, remove that node, and further decompose the remainder into strongly connected components. When G is undirected, we restrict our attention to biconnected components, generate all simple cycles containing a particular edge, remove that edge, and further decompose the remainder into biconnected components. Note that multigraphs are supported by this function -- and in undirected multigraphs, a pair of parallel edges is considered a cycle of length 2. Likewise, self-loops are considered to be cycles of length 1. We define cycles as sequences of nodes; so the presence of loops and parallel edges does not change the number of simple cycles in a graph. Parameters ---------- G : NetworkX DiGraph A directed graph length_bound : int or None, optional (default=None) If length_bound is an int, generate all simple cycles of G with length at most length_bound. Otherwise, generate all simple cycles of G. Yields ------ list of nodes Each cycle is represented by a list of nodes along the cycle. Examples -------- >>> edges = [(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 2), (2, 0), (2, 1), (2, 2)] >>> G = nx.DiGraph(edges) >>> sorted(nx.simple_cycles(G)) [[0], [0, 1, 2], [0, 2], [1, 2], [2]] To filter the cycles so that they don't include certain nodes or edges, copy your graph and eliminate those nodes or edges before calling. For example, to exclude self-loops from the above example: >>> H = G.copy() >>> H.remove_edges_from(nx.selfloop_edges(G)) >>> sorted(nx.simple_cycles(H)) [[0, 1, 2], [0, 2], [1, 2]] Notes ----- When length_bound is None, the time complexity is $O((n+e)(c+1))$ for $n$ nodes, $e$ edges and $c$ simple circuits. Otherwise, when length_bound > 1, the time complexity is $O((c+n)(k-1)d^k)$ where $d$ is the average degree of the nodes of G and $k$ = length_bound. Raises ------ ValueError when length_bound < 0.

[docs] @nx._dispatch def chordless_cycles(G, length_bound=None): """Find simple chordless cycles of a graph. A `simple cycle` is a closed path where no node appears twice. In a simple cycle, a `chord` is an additional edge between two nodes in the cycle. A `chordless cycle` is a simple cycle without chords. Said differently, a chordless cycle is a cycle C in a graph G where the number of edges in the induced graph G[C] is equal to the length of `C`. Note that some care must be taken in the case that G is not a simple graph nor a simple digraph. Some authors limit the definition of chordless cycles to have a prescribed minimum length; we do not. 1. We interpret self-loops to be chordless cycles, except in multigraphs with multiple loops in parallel. Likewise, in a chordless cycle of length greater than 1, there can be no nodes with self-loops. 2. We interpret directed two-cycles to be chordless cycles, except in multi-digraphs when any edge in a two-cycle has a parallel copy. 3. We interpret parallel pairs of undirected edges as two-cycles, except when a third (or more) parallel edge exists between the two nodes. 4. Generalizing the above, edges with parallel clones may not occur in chordless cycles. In a directed graph, two chordless cycles are distinct if they are not cyclic permutations of each other. In an undirected graph, two chordless cycles are distinct if they are not cyclic permutations of each other nor of the other's reversal. Optionally, the cycles are bounded in length. We use an algorithm strongly inspired by that of Dias et al [1]_. It has been modified in the following ways: 1. Recursion is avoided, per Python's limitations 2. The labeling function is not necessary, because the starting paths are chosen (and deleted from the host graph) to prevent multiple occurrences of the same path 3.

[docs] @nx._dispatch def find_cycle(G, source=None, orientation=None): """Returns a cycle found via depth-first traversal. The cycle is a list of edges indicating the cyclic path. Orientation of directed edges is controlled by `orientation`. Parameters ---------- G : graph A directed/undirected graph/multigraph. source : node, list of nodes The node from which the traversal begins. If None, then a source is chosen arbitrarily and repeatedly until all edges from each node in the graph are searched. orientation : None | 'original' | 'reverse' | 'ignore' (default: None) For directed graphs and directed multigraphs, edge traversals need not respect the original orientation of the edges. When set to 'reverse' every edge is traversed in the reverse direction. When set to 'ignore', every edge is treated as undirected. When set to 'original', every edge is treated as directed. In all three cases, the yielded edge tuples add a last entry to indicate the direction in which that edge was traversed. If orientation is None, the yielded edge has no direction indicated. The direction is respected, but not reported. Returns ------- edges : directed edges A list of directed edges indicating the path taken for the loop. If no cycle is found, then an exception is raised. For graphs, an edge is of the form `(u, v)` where `u` and `v` are the tail and head of the edge as determined by the traversal. For multigraphs, an edge is of the form `(u, v, key)`, where `key` is the key of the edge. When the graph is directed, then `u` and `v` are always in the order of the actual directed edge. If orientation is not None then the edge tuple is extended to include the direction of traversal ('forward' or 'reverse') on that edge. Raises ------ NetworkXNoCycle If no cycle was found. Examples -------- In this example, we construct a DAG and find, in the first call, that there are no directed cycles, and so an exception is raised. In the second call, we ignore edge orientations and find that there is an undirected cycle. Note that the second call finds a directed cycle while effectively traversing an undirected graph, and so, we found an "undirected cycle".
