Package org.jgrapht.alg.clique

Class BronKerboschCliqueFinder<V,​E>

java.lang.Object
org.jgrapht.alg.clique.BronKerboschCliqueFinder<V,​E>
Type Parameters:
V - the graph vertex type
E - the graph edge type
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Iterable<java.util.Set<V>>, MaximalCliqueEnumerationAlgorithm<V,​E>
public class BronKerboschCliqueFinder<V,​E>
extends java.lang.Object
Bron-Kerbosch maximal clique enumeration algorithm.

Implementation of the Bron-Kerbosch clique enumeration algorithm as described in:

  • R. Samudrala and J. Moult. A graph-theoretic algorithm for comparative modeling of protein structure. Journal of Molecular Biology, 279(1):287--302, 1998.

The algorithm first computes all maximal cliques and then returns the result to the user. A timeout can be set using the constructor parameters.

  • Constructor Details

    • BronKerboschCliqueFinder

      public BronKerboschCliqueFinder​(Graph<V,​E> graph)
      Constructs a new clique finder.
      Parameters:
      graph - the input graph; must be simple

      Constructs a new clique finder.
      Parameters:
      graph - the input graph; must be simple
      timeout - the maximum time to wait, if zero no timeout
      unit - the time unit of the timeout argument

  • Method Details

    • lazyRun

      protected void lazyRun()
      Lazily execute the enumeration algorithm.

    • iterator

      public java.util.Iterator<java.util.Set<V>> iterator()
      Description copied from interface: MaximalCliqueEnumerationAlgorithm
      Returns an iterator over all maximal cliques.
      Specified by:
      iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<V>
      Specified by:
      iterator in interface MaximalCliqueEnumerationAlgorithm<V,​E>
      Returns:
      an iterator over all maximal cliques

    • maximumIterator

      public java.util.Iterator<java.util.Set<V>> maximumIterator()
      Create an iterator which returns only the maximum cliques of a graph. The iterator computes all maximal cliques and then filters them by the size of the maximum found clique.
      Returns:
      an iterator which returns only the maximum cliques of a graph

    • isTimeLimitReached

      public boolean isTimeLimitReached()
      Check the computation has stopped due to a time limit or due to computing all maximal cliques.
      Returns:
      true if the computation has stopped due to a time limit, false otherwise
