Algebra.Graph.Relation

Alga is a library for algebraic construction and manipulation of graphs in Haskell. See this paper for the motivation behind the library, the underlying theory, and implementation details.

This module defines the Relation data type, as well as associated operations and algorithms. Relation is an instance of the Graph type class, which can be used for polymorphic graph construction and manipulation.

Data structure

data Relation a

The Relation data type represents a graph as a binary relation. We define a Num instance as a convenient notation for working with graphs:

0           == vertex 0
1 + 2       == overlay (vertex 1) (vertex 2)
1 * 2       == connect (vertex 1) (vertex 2)
1 + 2 * 3   == overlay (vertex 1) (connect (vertex 2) (vertex 3))
1 * (2 + 3) == connect (vertex 1) (overlay (vertex 2) (vertex 3))

Note: the Num instance does not satisfy several "customary laws" of Num, which dictate that fromInteger 0 and fromInteger 1 should act as additive and multiplicative identities, and negate as additive inverse. Nevertheless, overloading fromInteger, + and * is very convenient when working with algebraic graphs; we hope that in future Haskell's Prelude will provide a more fine-grained class hierarchy for algebraic structures, which we would be able to utilise without violating any laws.

The Show instance is defined using basic graph construction primitives:

show (empty     :: Relation Int) == "empty"
show (1         :: Relation Int) == "vertex 1"
show (1 + 2     :: Relation Int) == "vertices [1,2]"
show (1 * 2     :: Relation Int) == "edge 1 2"
show (1 * 2 * 3 :: Relation Int) == "edges [(1,2),(1,3),(2,3)]"
show (1 * 2 + 3 :: Relation Int) == "overlay (vertex 3) (edge 1 2)"

The Eq instance satisfies all axioms of algebraic graphs:

• overlay is commutative and associative:

        x + y == y + x
  x + (y + z) == (x + y) + z

• connect is associative and has empty as the identity:

    x * empty == x
    empty * x == x
  x * (y * z) == (x * y) * z

• connect distributes over overlay:

  x * (y + z) == x * y + x * z
  (x + y) * z == x * z + y * z

• connect can be decomposed:

  x * y * z == x * y + x * z + y * z

The following useful theorems can be proved from the above set of axioms.

• overlay has empty as the identity and is idempotent:

    x + empty == x
    empty + x == x
        x + x == x

• Absorption and saturation of connect:

  x * y + x + y == x * y
      x * x * x == x * x

When specifying the time and memory complexity of graph algorithms, n and m will denote the number of vertices and edges in the graph, respectively.

The total order on graphs is defined using size-lexicographic comparison:

• Compare the number of vertices. In case of a tie, continue.
• Compare the sets of vertices. In case of a tie, continue.
• Compare the number of edges. In case of a tie, continue.
• Compare the sets of edges.

Here are a few examples:

vertex 1 < vertex 2
vertex 3 < edge 1 2
vertex 1 < edge 1 1
edge 1 1 < edge 1 2
edge 1 2 < edge 1 1 + edge 2 2
edge 1 2 < edge 1 3

Note that the resulting order refines the isSubgraphOf relation and is compatible with overlay and connect operations:

isSubgraphOf x y ==> x <= y

empty <= x
x     <= x + y
x + y <= x * y

Complexity: O(n * m * log(m)) time and O(n + m) memory.

Miscellaneous

consistent :: Ord a => Relation a -> Bool

Check that the internal representation of a relation is consistent, i.e. if all pairs of elements in the relation refer to existing elements in the domain. It should be impossible to create an inconsistent Relation, and we use this function in testing.

consistent empty         == True
consistent (vertex x)    == True
consistent (overlay x y) == True
consistent (connect x y) == True
