Class AHUUnrootedTreeIsomorphismInspector<V,E>

java.lang.Object

org.jgrapht.alg.isomorphism.AHUUnrootedTreeIsomorphismInspector<V,E>

Type Parameters:

V - the type of the vertices

E - the type of the edges

All Implemented Interfaces:

IsomorphismInspector<V,E>

public class AHUUnrootedTreeIsomorphismInspector<V,E>
extends Object
implements IsomorphismInspector<V,E>

This is an implementation of the AHU algorithm for detecting an (unweighted) isomorphism between two unrooted trees. Please see mathworld.wolfram.com for a complete definition of the isomorphism problem for general graphs.

The original algorithm was first presented in "Alfred V. Aho and John E. Hopcroft. 1974. The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms (1st ed.). Addison-Wesley Longman Publishing Co., Inc., Boston, MA, USA."

This implementation runs in linear time (in the number of vertices of the input trees) while using a linear amount of memory.

For an implementation that supports rooted trees see AHURootedTreeIsomorphismInspector.
For an implementation that supports rooted forests see AHUForestIsomorphismInspector.

Note: This inspector only returns a single mapping (chosen arbitrarily) rather than all possible mappings.

Constructor Detail

AHUUnrootedTreeIsomorphismInspector

public AHUUnrootedTreeIsomorphismInspector(Graph<V,E> tree1,
                                           Graph<V,E> tree2)

Construct a new AHU unrooted tree isomorphism inspector. Note: The constructor does NOT check if the input trees are valid.

Parameters:

tree1 - the first tree

tree2 - the second tree

Throws:

NullPointerException - if tree1 or tree2 is null

IllegalArgumentException - if tree1 or tree2 is not undirected

IllegalArgumentException - if tree1 or tree2 is empty

Method Detail

getMappings

public Iterator<GraphMapping<V,E>> getMappings()

Get an iterator over all calculated (isomorphic) mappings between two graphs.

Specified by:

getMappings in interface IsomorphismInspector<V,E>

Returns:

an iterator over all calculated (isomorphic) mappings between two graphs

isomorphismExists

public boolean isomorphismExists()

Check if an isomorphism exists.

Specified by:

isomorphismExists in interface IsomorphismInspector<V,E>

Returns:

true if there is an isomorphism, false if there is no isomorphism

getMapping

public IsomorphicGraphMapping<V,E> getMapping()

Get an isomorphism between the input trees or null if none exists.

Returns:

isomorphic mapping, null is none exists
