Description

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 Fold data type -- the Boehm-Berarducci encoding of algebraic graphs, which is used for generalised graph folding and for the implementation of polymorphic graph construction and transformation algorithms. Fold is an instance of type classes defined in modules Algebra.Graph.Class and Algebra.Graph.HigherKinded.Class, which can be used for polymorphic graph construction and manipulation.

Synopsis

Boehm-Berarducci encoding of algebraic graphs

data Fold a Source #

The Fold data type is the Boehm-Berarducci encoding of the core graph construction primitives empty, vertex, overlay and connect. 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))

The Show instance is defined using basic graph construction primitives:

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

The Eq instance is currently implemented using the AdjacencyMap as the canonical graph representation and 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 will denote the number of vertices in the graph, m will denote the number of edges in the graph, and s will denote the size of the corresponding graph expression. For example, if g is a Fold then n, m and s can be computed as follows:

n == vertexCount g
m == edgeCount g
s == size g

Note that size is slightly different from the length method of the Foldable type class, as the latter does not count empty leaves of the expression:

length empty           == 0
size   empty           == 1
length (vertex x)      == 1
size   (vertex x)      == 1
length (empty + empty) == 0
size   (empty + empty) == 2

The size of any graph is positive, and the difference (size g - length g) corresponds to the number of occurrences of empty in an expression g.

Converting a Fold to the corresponding AdjacencyMap takes O(s + m * log(m)) time and O(s + m) memory. This is also the complexity of the graph equality test, because it is currently implemented by converting graph expressions to canonical representations based on adjacency maps.
