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:

Iterable<Set<V>>, MaximalCliqueEnumerationAlgorithm<V,E>

public class BronKerboschCliqueFinder<V,E>
extends 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 Detail

BronKerboschCliqueFinder

public BronKerboschCliqueFinder(Graph<V,E> graph)

Constructs a new clique finder.

Parameters:

graph - the input graph; must be simple

BronKerboschCliqueFinder

public BronKerboschCliqueFinder(Graph<V,E> graph,
                                long timeout,
                                TimeUnit unit)

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 Detail

lazyRun

protected void lazyRun()

Lazily execute the enumeration algorithm.

iterator

public Iterator<Set<V>> iterator()

Description copied from interface: MaximalCliqueEnumerationAlgorithm

Returns an iterator over all maximal cliques.

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<V>

Specified by:

iterator in interface MaximalCliqueEnumerationAlgorithm<V,E>

Returns:

an iterator over all maximal cliques

maximumIterator

public Iterator<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
