1. Basic properties

1.1. igraph_are_connected — Decides whether two vertices are connected

int igraph_are_connected(const igraph_t *graph,
                         igraph_integer_t v1, igraph_integer_t v2,
                         igraph_bool_t *res);

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

v1:

The first vertex.

v2:

The second vertex.

res:

Boolean, TRUE if there is an edge from v1 to v2, FALSE otherwise.

Returns: 

The error code IGRAPH_EINVVID is returned if an invalid vertex ID is given.

The function is of course symmetric for undirected graphs.

Time complexity: O( min(log(d1), log(d2)) ), d1 is the (out-)degree of v1 and d2 is the (in-)degree of v2.

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

                                   igraph_neimode_t mode);

This function implements Dijkstra's algorithm to find the weighted shortest path lengths to all vertices from a single source. It is run independently for the given sources. It uses a binary heap for efficient implementation.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, can be directed.

res:

The result, a matrix. A pointer to an initialized matrix should be passed here. The matrix will be resized as needed. Each row contains the distances from a single source, to the vertices given in the to argument. Unreachable vertices has distance IGRAPH_INFINITY.

from:

to:

The target vertices. It is not allowed to include a vertex twice or more.

weights:

The edge weights. All edge weights must be non-negative for Dijkstra's algorithm to work. Additionally, no edge weight may be NaN. If either case does not hold, an error is returned. If this is a null pointer, then the unweighted version, igraph_shortest_paths() is called.

mode:

For directed graphs; whether to follow paths along edge directions (IGRAPH_OUT), or the opposite (IGRAPH_IN), or ignore edge directions completely (IGRAPH_ALL). It is ignored for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(s*|E|log|E|+|V|), where |V| is the number of vertices, |E| the number of edges and s the number of sources.

See also: 

igraph_shortest_paths() for a (slightly) faster unweighted version or igraph_shortest_paths_bellman_ford() for a weighted variant that works in the presence of negative edge weights (but no negative loops).

This function implements the Bellman-Ford algorithm to find the weighted shortest paths to all vertices from a single source, allowing negative weights. It is run independently for the given sources. If there are no negative weights, you are better off with igraph_shortest_paths_dijkstra() .

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, can be directed.

res:

The result, a matrix. A pointer to an initialized matrix should be passed here, the matrix will be resized if needed. Each row contains the distances from a single source, to all vertices in the graph, in the order of vertex ids. For unreachable vertices the matrix contains IGRAPH_INFINITY.

from:

The source vertices.

to:

The target vertices. It is not allowed to include a vertex twice or more.

weights:

The edge weights. There mustn't be any closed loop in the graph that has a negative total weight (since this would allow us to decrease the weight of any path containing at least a single vertex of this loop infinitely). Additionally, no edge weight may be NaN. If either case does not hold, an error is returned. If this is a null pointer, then the unweighted version, igraph_shortest_paths() is called.

mode:

For directed graphs; whether to follow paths along edge directions (IGRAPH_OUT), or the opposite (IGRAPH_IN), or ignore edge directions completely (IGRAPH_ALL). It is ignored for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(s*|E|*|V|), where |V| is the number of vertices, |E| the number of edges and s the number of sources.

See also: 

igraph_shortest_paths() for a faster unweighted version or igraph_shortest_paths_dijkstra() if you do not have negative edge weights.

2.4. igraph_shortest_paths_johnson — Weighted shortest path lengths between vertices, using Johnson's algorithm.

int igraph_shortest_paths_johnson(const igraph_t *graph,
                                  igraph_matrix_t *res,
                                  const igraph_vs_t from,
                                  const igraph_vs_t to,
                                  const igraph_vector_t *weights);

See Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson's_algorithm for Johnson's algorithm. This algorithm works even if the graph contains negative edge weights, and it is worth using it if we calculate the shortest paths from many sources.

If no edge weights are supplied, then the unweighted version, igraph_shortest_paths() is called.

If all the supplied edge weights are non-negative, then Dijkstra's algorithm is used by calling igraph_shortest_paths_dijkstra().

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. If negative weights are present, it should be directed.

res:

Pointer to an initialized matrix, the result will be stored here, one line for each source vertex, one column for each target vertex.

from:

The source vertices.

to:

The target vertices. It is not allowed to include a vertex twice or more.

weights:

Optional edge weights. If it is a null-pointer, then the unweighted breadth-first search based igraph_shortest_paths() will be called.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(s|V|log|V|+|V||E|), |V| and |E| are the number of vertices and edges, s is the number of source vertices.

See also: 

igraph_shortest_paths() for a faster unweighted version or igraph_shortest_paths_dijkstra() if you do not have negative edge weights, igraph_shortest_paths_bellman_ford() if you only need to calculate shortest paths from a couple of sources.

2.5. igraph_get_shortest_paths — Shortest paths from a vertex.

int igraph_get_shortest_paths(const igraph_t *graph,
                              igraph_vector_ptr_t *vertices,
                              igraph_vector_ptr_t *edges,
                              igraph_integer_t from, const igraph_vs_t to,
                              igraph_neimode_t mode,

                              igraph_vector_long_t *inbound_edges);

If there is more than one geodesic between two vertices, this function gives only one of them.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

vertices:

The result, the ids of the vertices along the paths. This is a pointer vector, each element points to a vector object. These should be initialized before passing them to the function, which will properly clear and/or resize them and fill the ids of the vertices along the geodesics from/to the vertices. Supply a null pointer here if you don't need these vectors.

edges:

The result, the ids of the edges along the paths. This is a pointer vector, each element points to a vector object. These should be initialized before passing them to the function, which will properly clear and/or resize them and fill the ids of the vertices along the geodesics from/to the vertices. Supply a null pointer here if you don't need these vectors.

from:

The id of the vertex from/to which the geodesics are calculated.

to:

Vertex sequence with the ids of the vertices to/from which the shortest paths will be calculated. A vertex might be given multiple times.

mode:

The type of shortest paths to be used for the calculation in directed graphs. Possible values:

IGRAPH_OUT

the outgoing paths are calculated.

IGRAPH_IN

the incoming paths are calculated.

IGRAPH_ALL

the directed graph is considered as an undirected one for the computation.

predecessors:

A pointer to an initialized igraph vector or null. If not null, a vector containing the predecessor of each vertex in the single source shortest path tree is returned here. The predecessor of vertex i in the tree is the vertex from which vertex i was reached. The predecessor of the start vertex (in the from argument) is itself by definition. If the predecessor is -1, it means that the given vertex was not reached from the source during the search. Note that the search terminates if all the vertices in to are reached.

inbound_edges:

A pointer to an initialized igraph vector or null. If not null, a vector containing the inbound edge of each vertex in the single source shortest path tree is returned here. The inbound edge of vertex i in the tree is the edge via which vertex i was reached. The start vertex and vertices that were not reached during the search will have -1 in the corresponding entry of the vector. Note that the search terminates if all the vertices in to are reached.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for temporary data.

IGRAPH_EINVVID

from is invalid vertex id, or the length of to is not the same as the length of res.

IGRAPH_EINVMODE

invalid mode argument.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), |V| is the number of vertices, |E| the number of edges in the graph.

2.6. igraph_get_shortest_path — Shortest path from one vertex to another one.

int igraph_get_shortest_path(const igraph_t *graph,
                             igraph_vector_t *vertices,
                             igraph_vector_t *edges,
                             igraph_integer_t from,

                             igraph_neimode_t mode);

Calculates and returns a single unweighted shortest path from a given vertex to another one. If there are more than one shortest paths between the two vertices, then an arbitrary one is returned.

This function is a wrapper to igraph_get_shortest_paths(), for the special case when only one target vertex is considered.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, it can be directed or undirected. Directed paths are considered in directed graphs.

vertices:

Pointer to an initialized vector or a null pointer. If not a null pointer, then the vertex ids along the path are stored here, including the source and target vertices.

edges:

Pointer to an uninitialized vector or a null pointer. If not a null pointer, then the edge ids along the path are stored here.

from:

The id of the source vertex.

to:

The id of the target vertex.

mode:

A constant specifying how edge directions are considered in directed graphs. Valid modes are: IGRAPH_OUT, follows edge directions; IGRAPH_IN, follows the opposite directions; and IGRAPH_ALL, ignores edge directions. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), linear in the number of vertices and edges in the graph.

See also: 

igraph_get_shortest_paths() for the version with more target vertices.

2.7. igraph_get_shortest_paths_dijkstra — Weighted shortest paths from a vertex.

int igraph_get_shortest_paths_dijkstra(const igraph_t *graph,
                                       igraph_vector_ptr_t *vertices,
                                       igraph_vector_ptr_t *edges,
                                       igraph_integer_t from,
                                       igraph_vs_t to,
                                       const igraph_vector_t *weights,
                                       igraph_neimode_t mode,
                                       igraph_vector_long_t *predecessors,
                                       igraph_vector_long_t *inbound_edges);

If there is more than one path with the smallest weight between two vertices, this function gives only one of them.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

vertices:

The result, the ids of the vertices along the paths. This is a pointer vector, each element points to a vector object. These should be initialized before passing them to the function, which will properly clear and/or resize them and fill the ids of the vertices along the geodesics from/to the vertices. Supply a null pointer here if you don't need these vectors. Normally, either this argument, or the edges should be non-null, but no error or warning is given if they are both null pointers.

edges:

The result, the ids of the edges along the paths. This is a pointer vector, each element points to a vector object. These should be initialized before passing them to the function, which will properly clear and/or resize them and fill the ids of the vertices along the geodesics from/to the vertices. Supply a null pointer here if you don't need these vectors. Normally, either this argument, or the vertices should be non-null, but no error or warning is given if they are both null pointers.

from:

The id of the vertex from/to which the geodesics are calculated.

to:

Vertex sequence with the ids of the vertices to/from which the shortest paths will be calculated. A vertex might be given multiple times. *

weights:

The edge weights. All edge weights must be non-negative for Dijkstra's algorithm to work. Additionally, no edge weight may be NaN. If either case does not hold, an error is returned. If this is a null pointer, then the unweighted version, igraph_get_shortest_paths() is called.

mode:

The type of shortest paths to be use for the calculation in directed graphs. Possible values:

IGRAPH_OUT

the outgoing paths are calculated.

IGRAPH_IN

the incoming paths are calculated.

IGRAPH_ALL

the directed graph is considered as an undirected one for the computation.

predecessors:

A pointer to an initialized igraph vector or null. If not null, a vector containing the predecessor of each vertex in the single source shortest path tree is returned here. The predecessor of vertex i in the tree is the vertex from which vertex i was reached. The predecessor of the start vertex (in the from argument) is itself by definition. If the predecessor is -1, it means that the given vertex was not reached from the source during the search. Note that the search terminates if all the vertices in to are reached.

inbound_edges:

A pointer to an initialized igraph vector or null. If not null, a vector containing the inbound edge of each vertex in the single source shortest path tree is returned here. The inbound edge of vertex i in the tree is the edge via which vertex i was reached. The start vertex and vertices that were not reached during the search will have -1 in the corresponding entry of the vector. Note that the search terminates if all the vertices in to are reached.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for temporary data.

IGRAPH_EINVVID

from is invalid vertex id, or the length of to is not the same as the length of res.

IGRAPH_EINVMODE

invalid mode argument.

Time complexity: O(|E|log|E|+|V|), where |V| is the number of vertices and |E| is the number of edges

See also: 

igraph_shortest_paths_dijkstra() if you only need the path length but not the paths themselves, igraph_get_shortest_paths() if all edge weights are equal.

                                      igraph_neimode_t mode);

Calculates a single (positively) weighted shortest path from a single vertex to another one, using Dijkstra's algorithm.

This function is a special case (and a wrapper) to igraph_get_shortest_paths_dijkstra().

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, it can be directed or undirected.

vertices:

Pointer to an initialized vector or a null pointer. If not a null pointer, then the vertex ids along the path are stored here, including the source and target vertices.

edges:

Pointer to an uninitialized vector or a null pointer. If not a null pointer, then the edge ids along the path are stored here.

from:

The id of the source vertex.

to:

The id of the target vertex.

weights:

The edge weights. All edge weights must be non-negative for Dijkstra's algorithm to work. Additionally, no edge weight may be NaN. If either case does not hold, an error is returned. If this is a null pointer, then the unweighted version, igraph_get_shortest_paths() is called.

mode:

A constant specifying how edge directions are considered in directed graphs. IGRAPH_OUT follows edge directions, IGRAPH_IN follows the opposite directions, and IGRAPH_ALL ignores edge directions. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|E|log|E|+|V|), |V| is the number of vertices, |E| is the number of edges in the graph.

                                        igraph_vector_ptr_t *edges,
                                        igraph_integer_t from,
                                        igraph_vs_t to,

                                        igraph_vector_long_t *predecessors,
                                        igraph_vector_long_t *inbound_edges);

This function calculates weighted shortest paths from or to a single vertex, and allows negative weights. When there is more than one shortest path between two vertices, only one of them is returned. If there are no negative weights, you are better off with igraph_get_shortest_paths_dijkstra() .

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, can be directed.

vertices:

The result, the ids of the vertices along the paths. This is a pointer vector, each element points to a vector object. These should be initialized before passing them to the function, which will properly clear and/or resize them and fill the ids of the vertices along the geodesics from/to the vertices. Supply a null pointer here if you don't need these vectors. Normally, either this argument, or the edges should be non-null, but no error or warning is given if they are both null pointers.

edges:

The result, the ids of the edges along the paths. This is a pointer vector, each element points to a vector object. These should be initialized before passing them to the function, which will properly clear and/or resize them and fill the ids of the vertices along the geodesics from/to the vertices. Supply a null pointer here if you don't need these vectors. Normally, either this argument, or the vertices should be non-null, but no error or warning is given if they are both null pointers.

from:

The id of the vertex from/to which the geodesics are calculated.

to:

Vertex sequence with the ids of the vertices to/from which the shortest paths will be calculated. A vertex might be given multiple times.

weights:

The edge weights. There mustn't be any closed loop in the graph that has a negative total weight (since this would allow us to decrease the weight of any path containing at least a single vertex of this loop infinitely). If this is a null pointer, then the unweighted version, igraph_shortest_paths() is called.

mode:

For directed graphs; whether to follow paths along edge directions (IGRAPH_OUT), or the opposite (IGRAPH_IN), or ignore edge directions completely (IGRAPH_ALL). It is ignored for undirected graphs.

predecessors:

A pointer to an initialized igraph vector or null. If not null, a vector containing the predecessor of each vertex in the single source shortest path tree is returned here. The predecessor of vertex i in the tree is the vertex from which vertex i was reached. The predecessor of the start vertex (in the from argument) is itself by definition. If the predecessor is -1, it means that the given vertex was not reached from the source during the search. Note that the search terminates if all the vertices in to are reached.

inbound_edges:

A pointer to an initialized igraph vector or null. If not null, a vector containing the inbound edge of each vertex in the single source shortest path tree is returned here. The inbound edge of vertex i in the tree is the edge via which vertex i was reached. The start vertex and vertices that were not reached during the search will have -1 in the corresponding entry of the vector. Note that the search terminates if all the vertices in to are reached.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

Not enough memory for temporary data.

IGRAPH_EINVAL

The weight vector doesn't math the number of edges.

IGRAPH_EINVVID

from is invalid vertex id, or the length of to is not the same as the length of vertices or edges.

IGRAPH_ENEGLOOP

Bellman-ford algorithm encounted a negative loop.

Time complexity: O(|E|*|V|), where |V| is the number of vertices, |E| the number of edges.

nrgeo:

Pointer to an initialized igraph_vector_t object or NULL. If not NULL the number of shortest paths from from are stored here for every vertex in the graph. Note that the values will be accurate only for those vertices that are in the target vertex sequence (see to), since the search terminates as soon as all the target vertices have been found.

A path is simple if its vertices are unique, i.e. no vertex is visited more than once.

Note that potentially there are exponentially many paths between two vertices of a graph, and you may run out of memory when using this function, if your graph is lattice-like.

This function currently ignored multiple and loop edges.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph.

res:

Initialized integer vector, all paths are returned here, separated by -1 markers. The paths are included in arbitrary order, as they are found.

from:

The start vertex.

to:

The target vertices.

cutoff:

Maximum length of path that is considered. If negative, paths of all lengths are considered.

mode:

The type of the paths to consider, it is ignored for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(n!) in the worst case, n is the number of vertices.

                               igraph_real_t *res, igraph_real_t *unconn_pairs,
                               igraph_bool_t directed, igraph_bool_t unconn);

If no vertex pairs can be included in the calculation, for example because the graph has fewer than two vertices, or if the graph has no edges and unconn is set to TRUE, NaN is returned.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

res:

Pointer to a real number, this will contain the result.

unconn_pairs:

Pointer to a real number. If not a null pointer, the number of ordered vertex pairs where the second vertex is unreachable from the first one will be stored here.

directed:

Boolean, whether to consider directed paths. Ignored for undirected graphs.

unconn:

What to do if the graph is not connected. If TRUE, only those vertex pairs will be included in the calculation between which there is a path. If FALSE, IGRAPH_INFINITY is returned for disconnected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_ENOMEM, not enough memory for data structures

Time complexity: O(|V| |E|), the number of vertices times the number of edges.

See also: 

igraph_average_path_length_dijkstra() for the weighted version.

                                        igraph_bool_t directed, igraph_bool_t unconn);

If no vertex pairs can be included in the calculation, for example because the graph has fewer than two vertices, or if the graph has no edges and unconn is set to TRUE, NaN is returned.

All distinct ordered vertex pairs are taken into account.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

res:

Pointer to a real number, this will contain the result.

unconn_pairs:

Pointer to a real number. If not a null pointer, the number of ordered vertex pairs where the second vertex is unreachable from the first one will be stored here.

weights:

The edge weights. All edge weights must be non-negative for Dijkstra's algorithm to work. Additionally, no edge weight may be NaN. If either case does not hold, an error is returned. If this is a null pointer, then the unweighted version, igraph_average_path_length() is called.

directed:

Boolean, whether to consider directed paths. Ignored for undirected graphs.

unconn:

If TRUE, only those pairs are considered for the calculation between which there is a path. If FALSE, IGRAPH_INFINITY is returned for disconnected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for data structures

IGRAPH_EINVAL

invalid weight vector

Time complexity: O(|V| |E| log|E| + |V|), where |V| is the number of vertices and |E| is the number of edges.

                    igraph_bool_t directed, igraph_bool_t unconn);

The diameter of a graph is the length of the longest shortest path it has. This function computes both the diameter, as well as the corresponding path. The diameter of the null graph is considered be infinity by convention. If the graph has no vertices, IGRAPH_NAN is returned.

This function computes the weighted diameter of a graph. If the graph has no vertices, IGRAPH_NAN is returned.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, can be directed or undirected.

pres:

Pointer to a real number, if not NULL then it will contain the diameter (the actual distance).

Pointer to an integer, if not NULL it will be set to the source vertex of the diameter path. If the graph has no diameter path, it will be set to -1.

unconn:

2.19. igraph_girth — The girth of a graph is the length of the shortest cycle in it.

int igraph_girth(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_integer_t *girth,
                 igraph_vector_t *circle);

The current implementation works for undirected graphs only, directed graphs are treated as undirected graphs. Self-loops and multiple edges are ignored.

For graphs that contain no cycles, and only for such graphs, zero is returned. Note that in some applications, it is customary to define the girth of acyclic graphs to be infinity. However, infinity is not representable as an igraph_integer_t, therefore zero is used for this case.

This implementation is based on Alon Itai and Michael Rodeh: Finding a minimum circuit in a graph Proceedings of the ninth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing , 1-10, 1977. The first implementation of this function was done by Keith Briggs, thanks Keith.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph.

girth:

Pointer to an integer, if not NULL then the result will be stored here.

circle:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the vertex ids in the shortest circle will be stored here. If NULL then it is ignored.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O((|V|+|E|)^2), |V| is the number of vertices, |E| is the number of edges in the general case. If the graph has no cycles at all then the function needs O(|V|+|E|) time to realize this and then it stops.

3. Efficiency measures

3.1. igraph_global_efficiency — Calculates the global efficiency of a network.

int igraph_global_efficiency(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_real_t *res,
                             const igraph_vector_t *weights,
                             igraph_bool_t directed);

The global efficiency of a network is defined as the average of inverse distances between all pairs of vertices: E_g = 1/(N*(N-1)) sum_{i!=j} 1/d_ij, where N is the number of vertices. The inverse distance between pairs that are not reachable from each other is considered to be zero. For graphs with fewer than 2 vertices, NaN is returned.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

res:

Pointer to a real number, this will contain the result.

weights:

The edge weights. All edge weights must be non-negative for Dijkstra's algorithm to work. Additionally, no edge weight may be NaN. If either case does not hold, an error is returned. If this is a null pointer, then the unweighted version, igraph_average_path_length() is used in calculating the global efficiency.

directed:

Boolean, whether to consider directed paths. Ignored for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for data structures

IGRAPH_EINVAL

invalid weight vector

Time complexity: O(|V| |E| log|E| + |V|) for weighted graphs and O(|V| |E|) for unweighted ones. |V| denotes the number of vertices and |E| denotes the number of edges.

3.2. igraph_local_efficiency — Calculates the local efficiency around each vertex in a network.

int igraph_local_efficiency(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res,
                            const igraph_vs_t vids,
                            const igraph_vector_t *weights,
                            igraph_bool_t directed, igraph_neimode_t mode);

The local efficiency of a network around a vertex is defined as follows: We remove the vertex and compute the distances (shortest path lengths) between its neighbours through the rest of the network. The local efficiency around the removed vertex is the average of the inverse of these distances.

The inverse distance between two vertices which are not reachable from each other is considered to be zero. The local efficiency around a vertex with fewer than two neighbours is taken to be zero by convention.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

res:

Pointer to an initialized vector, this will contain the result.

vids:

The vertices around which the local efficiency will be calculated.

weights:

The edge weights. All edge weights must be non-negative. Additionally, no edge weight may be NaN. If either case does not hold, an error is returned. If this is a null pointer, then the unweighted version, igraph_average_path_length() is called.

directed:

Boolean, whether to consider directed paths. Ignored for undirected graphs.

mode:

How to determine the local neighborhood of each vertex in directed graphs. Ignored in undirected graphs.

IGRAPH_ALL

take both in- and out-neighbours; this is a reasonable default for high-level interfaces.

IGRAPH_OUT

take only out-neighbours

IGRAPH_IN

take only in-neighbours

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for data structures

IGRAPH_EINVAL

invalid weight vector

Time complexity: O(|E|^2 log|E|) for weighted graphs and O(|E|^2) for unweighted ones. |E| denotes the number of edges.

Boolean, whether to consider directed paths. Ignored for undirected graphs.

mode:

How to determine the local neighborhood of each vertex in directed graphs. Ignored in undirected graphs.

IGRAPH_ALL

IGRAPH_IN

take only in-neighbours

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for data structures

IGRAPH_EINVAL

4. Neighborhood of a vertex

4.1. igraph_neighborhood_size — Calculates the size of the neighborhood of a given vertex.

int igraph_neighborhood_size(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res,
                             igraph_vs_t vids, igraph_integer_t order,

                             igraph_integer_t mindist);

The neighborhood of a given order of a vertex includes all vertices which are closer to the vertex than the order. I.e., order 0 is always the vertex itself, order 1 is the vertex plus its immediate neighbors, order 2 is order 1 plus the immediate neighbors of the vertices in order 1, etc.

This function calculates the size of the neighborhood of the given order for the given vertices.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph.

res:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result will be stored here. It will be resized as needed.

vids:

The vertices for which the calculation is performed.

order:

Integer giving the order of the neighborhood.

mode:

Specifies how to use the direction of the edges if a directed graph is analyzed. For IGRAPH_OUT only the outgoing edges are followed, so all vertices reachable from the source vertex in at most order steps are counted. For IGRAPH_IN all vertices from which the source vertex is reachable in at most order steps are counted. IGRAPH_ALL ignores the direction of the edges. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.

mindist:

The minimum distance to include a vertex in the counting. Vertices reachable with a path shorter than this value are excluded. If this is one, then the starting vertex is not counted. If this is two, then its neighbors are not counted either, etc.

Returns: 

Error code.

See also:

This function calculates the vertices within the neighborhood of the specified vertices.

Arguments:

                    igraph_connectedness_t mode);

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to analyze.

membership:

First half of the result will be stored here. For every vertex the id of its component is given. The vector has to be preinitialized and will be resized. Alternatively this argument can be NULL, in which case it is ignored.

csize:

The second half of the result. For every component it gives its size, the order is defined by the component ids. The vector has to be preinitialized and will be resized. Alternatively this argument can be NULL, in which case it is ignored.

no:

Pointer to an integer, if not NULL then the number of clusters will be stored here.

int igraph_is_connected(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_bool_t *res,
                        igraph_connectedness_t mode);

A graph is considered connected when any of its vertices is reachable from any other. A directed graph with this property is called strongly connected. A directed graph that would be connected when ignoring the directions of its edges is called weakly connected.

A graph with zero vertices (i.e. the null graph) is not connected by definition. This behaviour changed in igraph 0.9; earlier versions assumed that the null graph is connected. See the following issue on Github for the argument that led us to change the definition: https://github.com/igraph/igraph/issues/1539

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to analyze.

res:

Pointer to a logical variable, the result will be stored here.

mode:

For a directed graph this specifies whether to calculate weak or strong connectedness. Possible values: IGRAPH_WEAK, IGRAPH_STRONG. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.

                     long int maxcompno, long int minelements);

Create separate graph for each component of a graph. Note that the vertex ids in the new graphs will be different than in the original graph. (Except if there is only one component in the original graph.)

Arguments: 

graph:

The original graph.

components:

This pointer vector will contain pointers to the subcomponent graphs. It should be initialized before calling this function and will be resized to hold the graphs. Don't forget to call igraph_destroy() and igraph_free() on the elements of this pointer vector to free unneeded memory. Alternatively, you can simply call igraph_decompose_destroy() that does this for you.

mode:

Either IGRAPH_WEAK or IGRAPH_STRONG for weakly and strongly connected components respectively.

maxcompno:

The maximum number of components to return. The first maxcompno components will be returned (which hold at least minelements vertices, see the next parameter), the others will be ignored. Supply -1 here if you don't want to limit the number of components.

minelements:

The minimum number of vertices a component should contain in order to place it in the components vector. Eg. supply 2 here to ignore isolated vertices.

Returns: 

Error code, IGRAPH_ENOMEM if there is not enough memory to perform the operation.

Added in version 0.2.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), the number of vertices plus the number of edges.

#include <igraph.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void free_complist(igraph_vector_ptr_t *complist) {
    long int i;
    for (i = 0; i < igraph_vector_ptr_size(complist); i++) {
        igraph_destroy(VECTOR(*complist)[i]);
        igraph_free(VECTOR(*complist)[i]);
    }
}

int main() {

    igraph_decompose(&g, &complist, IGRAPH_WEAK, -1, 20);
    if (igraph_vector_ptr_size(&complist) != 1) {
        return 1;
    }
    free_complist(&complist);
    igraph_destroy(&g);

    /* A toy graph, three components maximum, with at least 2 vertices each */
    igraph_create(&g,
                  igraph_vector_view(&v, edges, sizeof(edges) / sizeof(igraph_real_t)),
                  0, IGRAPH_DIRECTED);

    igraph_vector_ptr_destroy(&complist);

    return 0;
}


6.5. igraph_decompose_destroy — Free the memory allocated by igraph_decompose().

void igraph_decompose_destroy(igraph_vector_ptr_t *complist);

This function destroys and frees all igraph_t objects held in complist. However, it does not destroy complist itself, as it was not allocated by igraph_decompose(). Use igraph_vector_ptr_destroy() to destroy complist.

Arguments: 

complist:

The list of graph components, as returned by igraph_decompose().

Time complexity: O(c), c is the number of components.

6.6. igraph_biconnected_components — Calculate biconnected components

int igraph_biconnected_components(const igraph_t *graph,
                                  igraph_integer_t *no,
                                  igraph_vector_ptr_t *tree_edges,
                                  igraph_vector_ptr_t *component_edges,
                                  igraph_vector_ptr_t *components,
                                  igraph_vector_t *articulation_points);

A graph is biconnected if the removal of any single vertex (and its incident edges) does not disconnect it.

A biconnected component of a graph is a maximal biconnected subgraph of it. The biconnected components of a graph can be given by the partition of its edges: every edge is a member of exactly one biconnected component. Note that this is not true for vertices: the same vertex can be part of many biconnected components.

Somewhat arbitrarily, igraph does not consider components containing a single vertex only as being biconnected. Isolated vertices will not be part of any of the biconnected components.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph.

no:

The number of biconnected components will be stored here.

tree_edges:

If not a NULL pointer, then the found components are stored here, in a list of vectors. Every vector in the list is a biconnected component, represented by its edges. More precisely, a spanning tree of the biconnected component is returned. Note you'll have to destroy each vector first by calling igraph_vector_destroy() and then igraph_free() on it, plus you need to call igraph_vector_ptr_destroy() on the list to regain all allocated memory.

component_edges:

If not a NULL pointer, then the edges of the biconnected components are stored here, in the same form as for tree_edges.

components:

If not a NULL pointer, then the vertices of the biconnected components are stored here, in the same format as for the previous two arguments.

articulation_points:

If not a NULL pointer, then the articulation points of the graph are stored in this vector. A vertex is an articulation point if its removal increases the number of (weakly) connected components in the graph.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), linear in the number of vertices and edges, but only if you do not calculate components and component_edges. If you calculate components, then it is quadratic in the number of vertices. If you calculate component_edges as well, then it is cubic in the number of vertices.

7. Degree sequences

7.1. igraph_is_graphical — Is there a graph with the given degree sequence?

int igraph_is_graphical(const igraph_vector_t *out_degrees,
                        const igraph_vector_t *in_degrees,
                        const igraph_edge_type_sw_t allowed_edge_types,
                        igraph_bool_t *res);

Determines whether a sequence of integers can be the degree sequence of some graph. The classical concept of graphicality assumes simple graphs. This function can perform the check also when either self-loops, multi-edge, or both are allowed in the graph.

For simple undirected graphs, the Erdős-Gallai conditions are checked using the linear-time algorithm of Cloteaux. If both self-loops and multi-edges are allowed, it is sufficient to chek that that sum of degrees is even. If only multi-edges are allowed, but not self-loops, there is an additional condition that the sum of degrees be no smaller than twice the maximum degree. If at most one self-loop is allowed per vertex, but no multi-edges, a modified version of the Erdős-Gallai conditions are used (see Cairns & Mendan).

For simple directed graphs, the Fulkerson-Chen-Anstee theorem is used with the relaxation by Berger. If both self-loops and multi-edges are allowed, then it is sufficient to check that the sum of in- and out-degrees is the same. If only multi-edges are allowed, but not self loops, there is an additional condition that the sum of out-degrees (or equivalently, in-degrees) is no smaller than the maximum total degree. If single self-loops are allowed, but not multi-edges, the problem is equivalent to realizability as a simple bipartite graph, thus the Gale-Ryser theorem can be used; see igraph_is_bigraphical() for more information.

Determines whether two sequences of integers can be the degree sequences of a bipartite graph. Such a pair of degree sequence is called bigraphical.

When multi-edges are allowed, it is sufficient to check that the sum of degrees is the same in the two partitions. For simple graphs, the Gale-Ryser theorem is used with Berger's relaxation.

7.3. igraph_is_degree_sequence — Determines whether a degree sequence is valid.

int igraph_is_degree_sequence(const igraph_vector_t *out_degrees,
                              const igraph_vector_t *in_degrees, igraph_bool_t *res);

Warning

Deprecated since version 0.9. Please do not use this function in new code; use igraph_is_graphical() instead.

A sequence of n integers is a valid degree sequence if there exists some graph where the degree of the i-th vertex is equal to the i-th element of the sequence. Note that the graph may contain multiple or loop edges; if you are interested in whether the degrees of some simple graph may realize the given sequence, use igraph_is_graphical_degree_sequence.

In particular, the function checks whether all the degrees are non-negative. For undirected graphs, it also checks whether the sum of degrees is even. For directed graphs, the function checks whether the lengths of the two degree vectors are equal and whether their sums are also equal. These are known sufficient and necessary conditions for a degree sequence to be valid.

Arguments: 

out_degrees:

an integer vector specifying the degree sequence for undirected graphs or the out-degree sequence for directed graphs.

in_degrees:

an integer vector specifying the in-degrees of the vertices for directed graphs. For undirected graphs, this must be null.

res:

Returns: 

Error code.

8. Centrality measures

8.1. igraph_closeness — Closeness centrality calculations for some vertices.

int igraph_closeness(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res,
                     igraph_vector_t *reachable_count, igraph_bool_t *all_reachable,
                     const igraph_vs_t vids, igraph_neimode_t mode,
                     const igraph_vector_t *weights,
                     igraph_bool_t normalized);

The closeness centrality of a vertex measures how easily other vertices can be reached from it (or the other way: how easily it can be reached from the other vertices). It is defined as the inverse of the mean distance to (or from) all other vertices.

Closeness centrality is meaningful only for connected graphs. If the graph is not connected, igraph computes the inverse of the mean distance to (or from) all reachable vertices. In undirected graphs, this is equivalent to computing the closeness separately in each connected component. The optional all_reachable output parameter is provided to help detect when the graph is disconnected.

While there is no universally adopted definition of closeness centrality for disconnected graphs, there have been some attempts for generalizing the concept to the disconnected case. One type of approach considers the mean distance only to reachable vertices, then re-scales the obtained certrality score by a factor that depends on the number of reachable vertices (i.e. the size of the component in the undirected case). To facilitate computing these generalizations of closeness centrality, the number of reachable vertices (not including the starting vertex) is returned in reachable_count.

In disconnected graphs, consider using the harmonic centrality, computable using igraph_harmonic_centrality().

For isolated vertices, i.e. those having no associated paths, NaN is returned.

mode:

IGRAPH_ALL

weights:

An optional vector containing edge weights for weighted closeness. No edge weight may be NaN. Supply a null pointer here for traditional, unweighted closeness.

normalized:

If true, the inverse of the mean distance to reachable vetices is returned. If false, the inverse of the sum of distances is returned.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for temporary data.

IGRAPH_EINVVID

invalid vertex id passed.

IGRAPH_EINVMODE

invalid mode argument.

Time complexity: O(n|E|), n is the number of vertices for which the calculation is done and |E| is the number of edges in the graph.

                               igraph_bool_t normalized);

The harmonic centrality of a vertex is the mean inverse distance to all other vertices. The inverse distance to an unreachable vertex is considered to be zero.

8.5. igraph_pagerank_algo_t — PageRank algorithm implementation

typedef enum {
    IGRAPH_PAGERANK_ALGO_ARPACK = 1,
    IGRAPH_PAGERANK_ALGO_PRPACK = 2
} igraph_pagerank_algo_t;

Algorithms to calculate PageRank.

Values: 

IGRAPH_PAGERANK_ALGO_ARPACK:

Use the ARPACK library, this was the PageRank implementation in igraph from version 0.5, until version 0.7.

IGRAPH_PAGERANK_ALGO_PRPACK:

Use the PRPACK library. Currently this implementation is recommended.

8.6. igraph_pagerank — Calculates the Google PageRank for the specified vertices.

int igraph_pagerank(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_pagerank_algo_t algo,
                    igraph_vector_t *vector,
                    igraph_real_t *value, const igraph_vs_t vids,
                    igraph_bool_t directed, igraph_real_t damping,
                    const igraph_vector_t *weights, igraph_arpack_options_t *options);

The PageRank centrality of a vertex is the fraction of time a random walker traversing the graph would spend on that vertex. The walker follows the out-edges with probabilities proportional to their weights. Additionally, in each step, it restarts the walk from a random vertex with probability 1 - damping. If the random walker gets stuck in a sink vertex, it will also restart from a random vertex.

The PageRank centrality is mainly useful for directed graphs. In undirected graphs it converges to trivial values proportional to degrees as the damping factor approaches 1.

Starting from version 0.9, igraph has two PageRank implementations, and the user can choose between them. The first implementation is IGRAPH_PAGERANK_ALGO_ARPACK, based on the ARPACK library. This was the default before igraph version 0.7. The second and recommended implementation is IGRAPH_PAGERANK_ALGO_PRPACK. This is using the PRPACK package, see https://github.com/dgleich/prpack .

Note that the PageRank of a given vertex depends on the PageRank of all other vertices, so even if you want to calculate the PageRank for only some of the vertices, all of them must be calculated. Requesting the PageRank for only some of the vertices does not result in any performance increase at all.

vector:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result is stored here. It is resized as needed.

value:

Pointer to a real variable, the eigenvalue corresponding to the PageRank vector is stored here. It should be always exactly one.

The vertex ids for which the PageRank is returned.

directed:

Boolean, whether to consider the directedness of the edges. This is ignored for undirected graphs.

damping:

Optional edge weights. May be a NULL pointer, meaning unweighted edges, or a vector of non-negative values of the same length as the number of edges.

options:

Options for the ARPACK method. See igraph_arpack_options_t for details. Note that the function overwrites the n (number of vertices), nev (1), ncv (3) and which (LM) parameters and it always starts the calculation from a non-random vector calculated based on the degree of the vertices.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_ENOMEM, not enough memory for temporary data. IGRAPH_EINVVID, invalid vertex id in vids.

                                 igraph_arpack_options_t *options);

The personalized PageRank is similar to the original PageRank measure, but when the random walk is restarted, a new starting vertex is chosen non-uniformly, according to the distribution specified in reset (instead of the uniform distribution in the original PageRank measure). The reset distribution is used both when restarting randomly with probability 1 - damping, and when the walker is forced to restart due to being stuck in a sink vertex (a vertex with no outgoing edges).

Note that the personalized PageRank of a given vertex depends on the personalized PageRank of all other vertices, so even if you want to calculate the personalized PageRank for only some of the vertices, all of them must be calculated. Requesting the personalized PageRank for only some of the vertices does not result in any performance increase at all.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

algo:

The PageRank implementation to use. Possible values: IGRAPH_PAGERANK_ALGO_ARPACK, IGRAPH_PAGERANK_ALGO_PRPACK.

vector:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result is stored here. It is resized as needed.

value:

Pointer to a real variable, the eigenvalue corresponding to the PageRank vector is stored here. It should be always exactly one.

vids:

The vertex ids for which the PageRank is returned.

directed:

Boolean, whether to consider the directedness of the edges. This is ignored for undirected graphs.

damping:

The damping factor ("d" in the original paper). Must be a probability in the range [0, 1]. A commonly used value is 0.85.

reset:

The probability distribution over the vertices used when resetting the random walk. It is either a NULL pointer (denoting a uniform choice that results in the original PageRank measure) or a vector of the same length as the number of vertices.

weights:

Optional edge weights. May be a NULL pointer, meaning unweighted edges, or a vector of non-negative values of the same length as the number of edges.

options:

Options for the ARPACK method. See igraph_arpack_options_t for details. Note that the function overwrites the n (number of vertices), nev (1), ncv (3) and which (LM) parameters and it always starts the calculation from a non-random vector calculated based on the degree of the vertices.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_ENOMEM, not enough memory for temporary data. IGRAPH_EINVVID, invalid vertex id in vids or an invalid reset vector in reset.

Time complexity: depends on the input graph, usually it is O(|E|), the number of edges.

8.8. igraph_personalized_pagerank_vs — Calculates the personalized Google PageRank for the specified vertices.

int igraph_personalized_pagerank_vs(const igraph_t *graph,
                                    igraph_pagerank_algo_t algo, igraph_vector_t *vector,

                                    igraph_arpack_options_t *options);

The personalized PageRank is similar to the original PageRank measure, but when the random walk is restarted, a new starting vertex is chosen according to a specified distribution. This distribution is used both when restarting randomly with probability 1 - damping, and when the walker is forced to restart due to being stuck in a sink vertex (a vertex with no outgoing edges).

This simplified interface takes a vertex sequence and resets the random walk to one of the vertices in the specified vertex sequence, chosen uniformly. A typical application of personalized PageRank is when the random walk is reset to the same vertex every time - this can easily be achieved using igraph_vss_1() which generates a vertex sequence containing only a single vertex.

Note that the personalized PageRank of a given vertex depends on the personalized PageRank of all other vertices, so even if you want to calculate the personalized PageRank for only some of the vertices, all of them must be calculated. Requesting the personalized PageRank for only some of the vertices does not result in any performance increase at all.

directed:

Boolean, whether to consider the directedness of the edges. This is ignored for undirected graphs.

damping:

The damping factor ("d" in the original paper). Must be a probability in the range [0, 1]. A commonly used value is 0.85.

reset_vids:

IDs of the vertices used when resetting the random walk.

weights:

Optional edge weights, it is either a null pointer, then the edges are not weighted, or a vector of the same length as the number of edges.

options:

Options for the ARPACK method. See igraph_arpack_options_t for details. Note that the function overwrites the n (number of vertices), nev (1), ncv (3) and which (LM) parameters and it always starts the calculation from a non-random vector calculated based on the degree of the vertices.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_ENOMEM, not enough memory for temporary data. IGRAPH_EINVVID, invalid vertex id in vids or an empty reset vertex sequence in vids_reset.

Time complexity: depends on the input graph, usually it is O(|E|), the number of edges.

8.9. igraph_constraint — Burt's constraint scores.

int igraph_constraint(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res,
                      igraph_vs_t vids, const igraph_vector_t *weights);

This function calculates Burt's constraint scores for the given vertices, also known as structural holes.

Burt's constraint is higher if ego has less, or mutually stronger related (i.e. more redundant) contacts. Burt's measure of constraint, C[i], of vertex i's ego network V[i], is defined for directed and valued graphs,

C[i] = sum( sum( (p[i,q] p[q,j])^2, q in V[i], q != i,j ), j in V[], j != i)

for a graph of order (i.e. number of vertices) N, where proportional tie strengths are defined as

p[i,j]=(a[i,j]+a[j,i]) / sum(a[i,k]+a[k,i], k in V[i], k != i),

a[i,j] are elements of A and the latter being the graph adjacency matrix. For isolated vertices, constraint is undefined.

The first R version of this function was contributed by Jeroen Bruggeman.

Arguments: 

graph:

A graph object.

res:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result will be stored here. The vector will be resized to have the appropriate size for holding the result.

vids:

Vertex selector containing the vertices for which the constraint should be calculated.

weights:

Vector giving the weights of the edges. If it is NULL then each edge is supposed to have the same weight.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+E|+n*d^2), n is the number of vertices for which the constraint is calculated and d is the average degree, |V| is the number of vertices, |E| the number of edges in the graph. If the weights argument is NULL then the time complexity is O(|V|+n*d^2).

8.10. igraph_maxdegree — The maximum degree in a graph (or set of vertices).

                     igraph_bool_t loops);

The largest in-, out- or total degree of the specified vertices is calculated. If the graph has no vertices, or vids is empty, 0 is returned, as this is the smallest possible value for degrees.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph.

res:

Pointer to an integer (igraph_integer_t), the result will be stored here.

vids:

Vector giving the vertex IDs for which the maximum degree will be calculated.

mode:

Defines the type of the degree. IGRAPH_OUT, out-degree, IGRAPH_IN, in-degree, IGRAPH_ALL, total degree (sum of the in- and out-degree). This parameter is ignored for undirected graphs.

loops:

Boolean, gives whether the self-loops should be counted.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_EINVVID: invalid vertex id. IGRAPH_EINVMODE: invalid mode argument.

Time complexity: O(v) if loops is TRUE, and O(v*d) otherwise. v is the number of vertices for which the degree will be calculated, and d is their (average) degree.

8.11. igraph_strength — Strength of the vertices, weighted vertex degree in other words.

int igraph_strength(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res,
                    const igraph_vs_t vids, igraph_neimode_t mode,
                    igraph_bool_t loops, const igraph_vector_t *weights);

8.12. igraph_eigenvector_centrality — Eigenvector centrality of the vertices

int igraph_eigenvector_centrality(const igraph_t *graph,
                                  igraph_vector_t *vector,
                                  igraph_real_t *value,
                                  igraph_bool_t directed, igraph_bool_t scale,
                                  const igraph_vector_t *weights,
                                  igraph_arpack_options_t *options);

Eigenvector centrality is a measure of the importance of a node in a network. It assigns relative scores to all nodes in the network based on the principle that connections from high-scoring nodes contribute more to the score of the node in question than equal connections from low-scoring nodes. Specifically, the eigenvector centrality of each vertex is proportional to the sum of eigenvector centralities of its neighbors. In practice, the centralities are determined by calculating the eigenvector corresponding to the largest positive eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. In the undirected case, this function considers the diagonal entries of the adjacency matrix to be twice the number of self-loops on the corresponding vertex.

In the weighted case, the eigenvector centrality of a vertex is proportional to the weighted sum of centralities of its neighbours, i.e. c_i = sum_j w_ij c_j, where w_ij is the weight of the edge connecting vertices i and j. The weights of parallel edges are added up.

The centrality scores returned by igraph can be normalized (using the scale parameter) such that the largest eigenvector centrality score is 1 (with one exception, see below).

In the directed case, the left eigenvector of the adjacency matrix is calculated. In other words, the centrality of a vertex is proportional to the sum of centralities of vertices pointing to it.

Eigenvector centrality is meaningful only for connected graphs. Graphs that are not connected should be decomposed into connected components, and the eigenvector centrality calculated for each separately. This function does not verify that the graph is connected. If it is not, in the undirected case the scores of all but one component will be zeros.

Also note that the adjacency matrix of a directed acyclic graph or the adjacency matrix of an empty graph does not possess positive eigenvalues, therefore the eigenvector centrality is not defined for these graphs. igraph will return an eigenvalue of zero in such cases. The eigenvector centralities will all be equal for an empty graph and will all be zeros for a directed acyclic graph. Such pathological cases can be detected by asking igraph to calculate the eigenvalue as well (using the value parameter, see below) and checking whether the eigenvalue is very close to zero.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. It may be directed.

vector:

Pointer to an initialized vector, it will be resized as needed. The result of the computation is stored here. It can be a null pointer, then it is ignored.

value:

If not a null pointer, then the eigenvalue corresponding to the found eigenvector is stored here.

directed:

Boolean scalar, whether to consider edge directions in a directed graph. It is ignored for undirected graphs.

scale:

If not zero then the result will be scaled such that the absolute value of the maximum centrality is one.

weights:

A null pointer (= no edge weights), or a vector giving the weights of the edges. The algorithm might produce complex numbers when some weights are negative. In this case only the real part is reported.

options:

Options to ARPACK. See igraph_arpack_options_t for details. Note that the function overwrites the n (number of vertices) parameter and it always starts the calculation from a non-random vector calculated based on the degree of the vertices.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: depends on the input graph, usually it is O(|V|+|E|).

8.15. igraph_convergence_degree — Calculates the convergence degree of each edge in a graph.

int igraph_convergence_degree(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *result,
                              igraph_vector_t *ins, igraph_vector_t *outs);

Let us define the input set of an edge (i, j) as the set of vertices where the shortest paths passing through (i, j) originate, and similarly, let us defined the output set of an edge (i, j) as the set of vertices where the shortest paths passing through (i, j) terminate. The convergence degree of an edge is defined as the normalized value of the difference between the size of the input set and the output set, i.e. the difference of them divided by the sum of them. Convergence degrees are in the range (-1, 1); a positive value indicates that the edge is convergent since the shortest paths passing through it originate from a larger set and terminate in a smaller set, while a negative value indicates that the edge is divergent since the paths originate from a small set and terminate in a larger set.

Note that the convergence degree as defined above does not make sense in undirected graphs as there is no distinction between the input and output set. Therefore, for undirected graphs, the input and output sets of an edge are determined by orienting the edge arbitrarily while keeping the remaining edges undirected, and then taking the absolute value of the convergence degree.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, it can be either directed or undirected.

result:

Pointer to an initialized vector; the convergence degrees of each edge will be stored here. May be NULL if we are not interested in the exact convergence degrees.

ins:

Pointer to an initialized vector; the size of the input set of each edge will be stored here. May be NULL if we are not interested in the sizes of the input sets.

outs:

Pointer to an initialized vector; the size of the output set of each edge will be stored here. May be NULL if we are not interested in the sizes of the output sets.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V||E|), the number of vertices times the number of edges.

10. Centralization

10.1. igraph_centralization — Calculate the centralization score from the node level scores

igraph_real_t igraph_centralization(const igraph_vector_t *scores,
                                    igraph_real_t theoretical_max,
                                    igraph_bool_t normalized);

For a centrality score defined on the vertices of a graph, it is possible to define a graph level centralization index, by calculating the sum of the deviation from the maximum centrality score. Consequently, the higher the centralization index of the graph, the more centralized the structure is.

In order to make graphs of different sizes comparable, the centralization index is usually normalized to a number between zero and one, by dividing the (unnormalized) centralization score of the most centralized structure with the same number of vertices.

For most centrality indices the most centralized structure is the star graph, a single center connected to all other nodes in the network. There are some variation depending on whether the graph is directed or not, whether loop edges are allowed, etc.

This function simply calculates the graph level index, if the node level scores and the theoretical maximum are given. It is called by all the measure-specific centralization functions.

Arguments: 

scores:

A vector containing the node-level centrality scores.

theoretical_max:

The graph level centrality score of the most centralized graph with the same number of vertices. Only used if normalized set to true.

normalized:

Boolean, whether to normalize the centralization by dividing the supplied theoretical maximum.

Returns: 

The graph level index.

See also: 

Time complexity: O(n), the length of the score vector.

11.4. igraph_similarity_jaccard_pairs — Jaccard similarity coefficient for given vertex pairs.

int igraph_similarity_jaccard_pairs(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res,
                                    const igraph_vector_t *pairs, igraph_neimode_t mode, igraph_bool_t loops);

The Jaccard similarity coefficient of two vertices is the number of common neighbors divided by the number of vertices that are neighbors of at least one of the two vertices being considered. This function calculates the pairwise Jaccard similarities for a list of vertex pairs.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to analyze

res:

Pointer to a vector, the result of the calculation will be stored here. The number of elements is the same as the number of pairs in pairs.

pairs:

A vector that contains the pairs for which the similarity will be calculated. Each pair is defined by two consecutive elements, i.e. the first and second element of the vector specifies the first pair, the third and fourth element specifies the second pair and so on.

mode:

The type of neighbors to be used for the calculation in directed graphs. Possible values:

IGRAPH_OUT

the outgoing edges will be considered for each node.

IGRAPH_IN

the incoming edges will be considered for each node.

IGRAPH_ALL

the directed graph is considered as an undirected one for the computation.

loops:

Whether to include the vertices themselves in the neighbor sets.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for temporary data.

IGRAPH_EINVVID

invalid vertex id passed.

IGRAPH_EINVMODE

invalid mode argument.

Time complexity: O(nd), n is the number of pairs in the given vector, d is the (maximum) degree of the vertices in the graph.

See also: 

igraph_similarity_jaccard() to calculate the Jaccard similarity between all pairs of a vertex set, or igraph_similarity_dice() and igraph_similarity_dice_pairs() for a measure very similar to the Jaccard coefficient

11.5. igraph_similarity_jaccard_es — Jaccard similarity coefficient for a given edge selector.

int igraph_similarity_jaccard_es(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res,
                                 const igraph_es_t es, igraph_neimode_t mode, igraph_bool_t loops);

The Jaccard similarity coefficient of two vertices is the number of common neighbors divided by the number of vertices that are neighbors of at least one of the two vertices being considered. This function calculates the pairwise Jaccard similarities for the endpoints of edges in a given edge selector.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to analyze

res:

Pointer to a vector, the result of the calculation will be stored here. The number of elements is the same as the number of edges in es.

es:

An edge selector that specifies the edges to be included in the result.

mode:

The type of neighbors to be used for the calculation in directed graphs. Possible values:

IGRAPH_OUT

the outgoing edges will be considered for each node.

IGRAPH_IN

the incoming edges will be considered for each node.

IGRAPH_ALL

the directed graph is considered as an undirected one for the computation.

loops:

Whether to include the vertices themselves in the neighbor sets.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for temporary data.

IGRAPH_EINVVID

invalid vertex id passed.

IGRAPH_EINVMODE

invalid mode argument.

Time complexity: O(nd), n is the number of edges in the edge selector, d is the (maximum) degree of the vertices in the graph.

See also: 

igraph_similarity_jaccard() and igraph_similarity_jaccard_pairs() to calculate the Jaccard similarity between all pairs of a vertex set or some selected vertex pairs, or igraph_similarity_dice(), igraph_similarity_dice_pairs() and igraph_similarity_dice_es() for a measure very similar to the Jaccard coefficient

11.6. igraph_similarity_dice — Dice similarity coefficient.

int igraph_similarity_dice(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_matrix_t *res,
                           const igraph_vs_t vids, igraph_neimode_t mode, igraph_bool_t loops);

The Dice similarity coefficient of two vertices is twice the number of common neighbors divided by the sum of the degrees of the vertices. This function calculates the pairwise Dice similarities for some (or all) of the vertices.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to analyze

res:

Pointer to a matrix, the result of the calculation will be stored here. The number of its rows and columns is the same as the number of vertex ids in vids.

vids:

The vertex ids of the vertices for which the calculation will be done.

mode:

The type of neighbors to be used for the calculation in directed graphs. Possible values:

IGRAPH_OUT

the outgoing edges will be considered for each node.

IGRAPH_IN

the incoming edges will be considered for each node.

IGRAPH_ALL

the directed graph is considered as an undirected one for the computation.

loops:

Whether to include the vertices themselves as their own neighbors.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for temporary data.

IGRAPH_EINVVID

invalid vertex id passed.

IGRAPH_EINVMODE

invalid mode argument.

Time complexity: O(|V|^2 d), |V| is the number of vertices in the vertex iterator given, d is the (maximum) degree of the vertices in the graph.

11.7. igraph_similarity_dice_pairs — Dice similarity coefficient for given vertex pairs.

int igraph_similarity_dice_pairs(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res,
                                 const igraph_vector_t *pairs, igraph_neimode_t mode, igraph_bool_t loops);

The Dice similarity coefficient of two vertices is twice the number of common neighbors divided by the sum of the degrees of the vertices. This function calculates the pairwise Dice similarities for a list of vertex pairs.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to analyze

res:

Pointer to a vector, the result of the calculation will be stored here. The number of elements is the same as the number of pairs in pairs.

pairs:

A vector that contains the pairs for which the similarity will be calculated. Each pair is defined by two consecutive elements, i.e. the first and second element of the vector specifies the first pair, the third and fourth element specifies the second pair and so on.

mode:

The type of neighbors to be used for the calculation in directed graphs. Possible values:

IGRAPH_OUT

the outgoing edges will be considered for each node.

IGRAPH_IN

the incoming edges will be considered for each node.

IGRAPH_ALL

the directed graph is considered as an undirected one for the computation.

loops:

Whether to include the vertices themselves as their own neighbors.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

not enough memory for temporary data.

IGRAPH_EINVVID

invalid vertex id passed.

IGRAPH_EINVMODE

invalid mode argument.

Time complexity: O(nd), n is the number of pairs in the given vector, d is the (maximum) degree of the vertices in the graph.

See also: 

igraph_similarity_dice() to calculate the Dice similarity between all pairs of a vertex set, or igraph_similarity_jaccard(), igraph_similarity_jaccard_pairs() and igraph_similarity_jaccard_es() for a measure very similar to the Dice coefficient

11.9. igraph_similarity_inverse_log_weighted — Vertex similarity based on the inverse logarithm of vertex degrees.

int igraph_similarity_inverse_log_weighted(const igraph_t *graph,
        igraph_matrix_t *res, const igraph_vs_t vids, igraph_neimode_t mode);

The inverse log-weighted similarity of two vertices is the number of their common neighbors, weighted by the inverse logarithm of their degrees. It is based on the assumption that two vertices should be considered more similar if they share a low-degree common neighbor, since high-degree common neighbors are more likely to appear even by pure chance.

Isolated vertices will have zero similarity to any other vertex. Self-similarities are not calculated.

See the following paper for more details: Lada A. Adamic and Eytan Adar: Friends and neighbors on the Web. Social Networks, 25(3):211-230, 2003.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to analyze.

res:

Pointer to a matrix, the result of the calculation will be stored here. The number of its rows is the same as the number of vertex ids in vids, the number of columns is the number of vertices in the graph.

vids:

The vertex ids of the vertices for which the calculation will be done.

mode:

The type of neighbors to be used for the calculation in directed graphs. Possible values:

IGRAPH_OUT

the outgoing edges will be considered for each node. Nodes will be weighted according to their in-degree.

IGRAPH_IN

the incoming edges will be considered for each node. Nodes will be weighted according to their out-degree.

IGRAPH_ALL

the directed graph is considered as an undirected one for the computation. Every node is weighted according to its undirected degree.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_EINVVID: invalid vertex id.

Time complexity: O(|V|d^2), |V| is the number of vertices in the graph, d is the (maximum) degree of the vertices in the graph.

12. Trees

12.1. igraph_minimum_spanning_tree — Calculates one minimum spanning tree of a graph.

int igraph_minimum_spanning_tree(const igraph_t* graph,
                                 igraph_vector_t* res, const igraph_vector_t* weights);

If the graph has more minimum spanning trees (this is always the case, except if it is a forest) this implementation returns only the same one.

Directed graphs are considered as undirected for this computation.

If the graph is not connected then its minimum spanning forest is returned. This is the set of the minimum spanning trees of each component.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

res:

An initialized vector, the IDs of the edges that constitute a spanning tree will be returned here. Use igraph_subgraph_edges() to extract the spanning tree as a separate graph object.

weights:

A vector containing the weights of the edges in the same order as the simple edge iterator visits them (i.e. in increasing order of edge IDs).

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_ENOMEM, not enough memory for temporary data.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|) for the unweighted case, O(|E| log |V|) for the weighted case. |V| is the number of vertices, |E| the number of edges in the graph.

See also: 

igraph_minimum_spanning_tree_unweighted() and igraph_minimum_spanning_tree_prim() if you only need the tree as a separate graph object.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

mst:

The minimum spanning tree, another graph object. Do not initialize this object before passing it to this function, but be sure to call igraph_destroy() on it if you don't need it any more.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_ENOMEM, not enough memory for temporary data.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), |V| is the number of vertices, |E| the number of edges in the graph.

See also: 

igraph_minimum_spanning_tree_prim() for weighted graphs, igraph_minimum_spanning_tree() if you need the IDs of the edges that constitute the spanning tree.

12.3. igraph_minimum_spanning_tree_prim — Calculates one minimum spanning tree of a weighted graph.

                                      const igraph_vector_t *weights);

This function uses Prim's method for carrying out the computation, see Prim, R.C.: Shortest connection networks and some generalizations, Bell System Technical Journal, Vol. 36, 1957, 1389--1401.

If the graph has more than one minimum spanning tree, the current implementation returns always the same one.

Directed graphs are considered as undirected for this computation.

If the graph is not connected then its minimum spanning forest is returned. This is the set of the minimum spanning trees of each component.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

mst:

The result of the computation, a graph object containing the minimum spanning tree of the graph. Do not initialize this object before passing it to this function, but be sure to call igraph_destroy() on it if you don't need it any more.

weights:

A vector containing the weights of the edges in the same order as the simple edge iterator visits them (i.e. in increasing order of edge IDs).

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_ENOMEM, not enough memory. IGRAPH_EINVAL, length of weight vector does not match number of edges.

Time complexity: O(|E| log |V|), |V| is the number of vertices, |E| the number of edges in the graph.

12.4. igraph_random_spanning_tree — Uniformly sample the spanning trees of a graph

int igraph_random_spanning_tree(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res, igraph_integer_t vid);

Performs a loop-erased random walk on the graph to uniformly sample its spanning trees. Edge directions are ignored.

Multi-graphs are supported, and edge multiplicities will affect the sampling frequency. For example, consider the 3-cycle graph 1=2-3-1, with two edges between vertices 1 and 2. Due to these parallel edges, the trees 1-2-3 and 3-1-2 will be sampled with multiplicity 2, while the tree 2-3-1 will be sampled with multiplicity 1.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. Edge directions are ignored.

res:

An initialized vector, the IDs of the edges that constitute a spanning tree will be returned here. Use igraph_subgraph_edges() to extract the spanning tree as a separate graph object.

vid:

This parameter is relevant if the graph is not connected. If negative, a random spanning forest of all components will be generated. Otherwise, it should be the ID of a vertex. A random spanning tree of the component containing the vertex will be generated.

Returns: 

Error code.

12.5. igraph_is_tree — Decides whether the graph is a tree.

int igraph_is_tree(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_bool_t *res, igraph_integer_t *root, igraph_neimode_t mode);

An undirected graph is a tree if it is connected and has no cycles.

In the directed case, a possible additional requirement is that all edges are oriented away from a root (out-tree or arborescence) or all edges are oriented towards a root (in-tree or anti-arborescence). This test can be controlled using the mode parameter.

By convention, the null graph (i.e. the graph with no vertices) is considered not to be a tree.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to analyze.

res:

Pointer to a logical variable, the result will be stored here.

root:

If not NULL, the root node will be stored here. When mode is IGRAPH_ALL or the graph is undirected, any vertex can be the root and root is set to 0 (the first vertex). When mode is IGRAPH_OUT or IGRAPH_IN, the root is set to the vertex with zero in- or out-degree, respectively.

mode:

For a directed graph this specifies whether to test for an out-tree, an in-tree or ignore edge directions. The respective possible values are: IGRAPH_OUT, IGRAPH_IN, IGRAPH_ALL. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_EINVAL: invalid mode argument.

Time complexity: At most O(|V|+|E|), the number of vertices plus the number of edges in the graph.

12.6. igraph_to_prufer — Converts a tree to its Prüfer sequence

int igraph_to_prufer(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_int_t* prufer);

A Prüfer sequence is a unique sequence of integers associated with a labelled tree. A tree on n >= 2 vertices can be represented by a sequence of n-2 integers, each between 0 and n-1 (inclusive).

Arguments: 

graph:

Pointer to an initialized graph object which must be a tree on n >= 2 vertices.

prufer:

A pointer to the integer vector that should hold the Prüfer sequence; the vector must be initialized and will be resized to n - 2.

Returns: 

Error code:

IGRAPH_ENOMEM

13. Transitivity or clustering coefficient

13.1. igraph_transitivity_undirected — Calculates the transitivity (clustering coefficient) of a graph.

int igraph_transitivity_undirected(const igraph_t *graph,
                                   igraph_real_t *res,
                                   igraph_transitivity_mode_t mode);

The transitivity measures the probability that two neighbors of a vertex are connected. More precisely, this is the ratio of the triangles and connected triples in the graph, the result is a single real number. Directed graphs are considered as undirected ones and multi-edges are ignored.

Note that this measure is different from the local transitivity measure (see igraph_transitivity_local_undirected() ) as it calculates a single value for the whole graph.

Clustering coefficient is an alternative name for transitivity.

References:

S. Wasserman and K. Faust: Social Network Analysis: Methods and Applications. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object. Edge directions and multiplicites are ignored.

res:

Pointer to a real variable, the result will be stored here.

mode:

Defines how to treat graphs with no connected triples. IGRAPH_TRANSITIVITY_NAN returns NaN in this case, IGRAPH_TRANSITIVITY_ZERO returns zero.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_ENOMEM: not enough memory for temporary data.

See also: 

Time complexity: O(|V|*d^2), |V| is the number of vertices in the graph, d is the average node degree.

13.2. igraph_transitivity_local_undirected — Calculates the local transitivity (clustering coefficient) of a graph.

int igraph_transitivity_local_undirected(const igraph_t *graph,
        igraph_vector_t *res,
        const igraph_vs_t vids,
        igraph_transitivity_mode_t mode);

The transitivity measures the probability that two neighbors of a vertex are connected. In case of the local transitivity, this probability is calculated separately for each vertex.

Note that this measure is different from the global transitivity measure (see igraph_transitivity_undirected() ) as it calculates a transitivity value for each vertex individually.

Clustering coefficient is an alternative name for transitivity.

References:

D. J. Watts and S. Strogatz: Collective dynamics of small-world networks. Nature 393(6684):440-442 (1998).

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. Edge directions and multiplicities are ignored.

res:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result will be stored here. It will be resized as needed.

vids:

Vertex set, the vertices for which the local transitivity will be calculated.

mode:

Defines how to treat vertices with degree less than two. IGRAPH_TRANSITIVITY_NAN returns NaN for these vertices, IGRAPH_TRANSITIVITY_ZERO returns zero.

Returns: 

Error code.

See also: 

Time complexity: O(n*d^2), n is the number of vertices for which the transitivity is calculated, d is the average vertex degree.

13.3. igraph_transitivity_avglocal_undirected — Average local transitivity (clustering coefficient).

int igraph_transitivity_avglocal_undirected(const igraph_t *graph,
        igraph_real_t *res,
        igraph_transitivity_mode_t mode);

The transitivity measures the probability that two neighbors of a vertex are connected. In case of the average local transitivity, this probability is calculated for each vertex and then the average is taken. Vertices with less than two neighbors require special treatment, they will either be left out from the calculation or they will be considered as having zero transitivity, depending on the mode argument. Edge directions and edge multiplicities are ignored.

Note that this measure is different from the global transitivity measure (see igraph_transitivity_undirected() ) as it simply takes the average local transitivity across the whole network.

Clustering coefficient is an alternative name for transitivity.

References:

D. J. Watts and S. Strogatz: Collective dynamics of small-world networks. Nature 393(6684):440-442 (1998).

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. Edge directions and multiplicites are ignored.

res:

Pointer to a real variable, the result will be stored here.

mode:

Defines how to treat vertices with degree less than two. IGRAPH_TRANSITIVITY_NAN leaves them out from averaging, IGRAPH_TRANSITIVITY_ZERO includes them with zero transitivity. The result will be NaN if the mode is IGRAPH_TRANSITIVITY_NAN and there are no vertices with more than one neighbor.

Returns: 

Error code.

See also: 

Time complexity: O(|V|*d^2), |V| is the number of vertices in the graph and d is the average degree.

13.4. igraph_transitivity_barrat — Weighted transitivity, as defined by A. Barrat.

int igraph_transitivity_barrat(const igraph_t *graph,
                               igraph_vector_t *res,
                               const igraph_vs_t vids,
                               const igraph_vector_t *weights,
                               igraph_transitivity_mode_t mode);

This is a local transitivity, i.e. a vertex-level index. For a given vertex i, from all triangles in which it participates we consider the weight of the edges incident on i. The transitivity is the sum of these weights divided by twice the strength of the vertex (see igraph_strength()) and the degree of the vertex minus one. See Alain Barrat, Marc Barthelemy, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras, Alessandro Vespignani: The architecture of complex weighted networks, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101, 3747 (2004) at http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0311416 for the exact formula.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. Edge directions are ignored for directed graphs. Note that the function does not work for non-simple graphs.

res:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result will be stored here. It will be resized as needed.

vids:

The vertices for which the calculation is performed.

weights:

Edge weights. If this is a null pointer, then a warning is given and igraph_transitivity_local_undirected() is called.

mode:

Defines how to treat vertices with zero strength. IGRAPH_TRANSITIVITY_NAN says that the transitivity of these vertices is NaN, IGRAPH_TRANSITIVITY_ZERO says it is zero.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|*d^2), |V| is the number of vertices in the graph, d is the average node degree.

14. Directedness conversion

14.1. igraph_to_directed — Convert an undirected graph to a directed one

int igraph_to_directed(igraph_t *graph,
                       igraph_to_directed_t mode);

If the supplied graph is directed, this function does nothing.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to convert.

mode:

Constant, specifies the details of how exactly the conversion is done. Possible values:

IGRAPH_TO_DIRECTED_ARBITRARY

The number of edges in the graph stays the same, an arbitrarily directed edge is created for each undirected edge.

IGRAPH_TO_DIRECTED_MUTUAL

Two directed edges are created for each undirected edge, one in each direction.

IGRAPH_TO_DIRECTED_RANDOM

Each undirected edge is converted to a randomly oriented directed one.

IGRAPH_TO_DIRECTED_ACYCLIC

Each undirected edge is converted to a directed edge oriented from a lower index vertex to a higher index one. If no self-loops were present, then the result is a directed acyclic graph.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), the number of vertices plus the number of edges.

14.2. igraph_to_undirected — Convert a directed graph to an undirected one.

int igraph_to_undirected(igraph_t *graph,
                         igraph_to_undirected_t mode,
                         const igraph_attribute_combination_t *edge_comb);

If the supplied graph is undirected, this function does nothing.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object to convert.

mode:

Constant, specifies the details of how exactly the conversion is done. Possible values: IGRAPH_TO_UNDIRECTED_EACH: the number of edges remains constant, an undirected edge is created for each directed one, this version might create graphs with multiple edges; IGRAPH_TO_UNDIRECTED_COLLAPSE: one undirected edge will be created for each pair of vertices that are connected with at least one directed edge, no multiple edges will be created. IGRAPH_TO_UNDIRECTED_MUTUAL creates an undirected edge for each pair of mutual edges in the directed graph. Non-mutual edges are lost; loop edges are kept unconditionally. This mode might create multiple edges.

edge_comb:

What to do with the edge attributes. See the igraph manual section about attributes for details. NULL means that the edge attributes are lost during the conversion, except when mode is IGRAPH_TO_UNDIRECTED_EACH, in which case the edge attributes are kept intact.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), the number of vertices plus the number of edges.

15. Spectral properties

15.1. igraph_laplacian — Returns the Laplacian matrix of a graph

int igraph_laplacian(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_matrix_t *res,
                     igraph_sparsemat_t *sparseres,
                     igraph_bool_t normalized,
                     const igraph_vector_t *weights);

The graph Laplacian matrix is similar to an adjacency matrix but contains -1's instead of 1's and the vertex degrees are included in the diagonal. So the result for edge i--j is -1 if i!=j and is equal to the degree of vertex i if i==j. igraph_laplacian will work on a directed graph; in this case, the diagonal will contain the out-degrees. Loop edges will be ignored.

The normalized version of the Laplacian matrix has 1 in the diagonal and -1/sqrt(d[i]d[j]) if there is an edge from i to j.

The first version of this function was written by Vincent Matossian.

Arguments: 

graph:

Pointer to the graph to convert.

res:

Pointer to an initialized matrix object, the result is stored here. It will be resized if needed. If it is a null pointer, then it is ignored. At least one of res and sparseres must be a non-null pointer.

sparseres:

Pointer to an initialized sparse matrix object, the result is stored here, if it is not a null pointer. At least one of res and sparseres must be a non-null pointer.

normalized:

Whether to create a normalized Laplacian matrix.

weights:

An optional vector containing edge weights, to calculate the weighted Laplacian matrix. Set it to a null pointer to calculate the unweighted Laplacian.

16.5. igraph_count_multiple — Count the number of appearances of the edges in a graph.

int igraph_count_multiple(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *res, igraph_es_t es);

If the graph has no multiple edges then the result vector will be filled with ones. (An edge is a multiple edge if there is another edge with the same head and tail vertices in the graph.)

Arguments: 

graph:

res:

Pointer to a vector, the result will be stored here. It will be resized as needed.

es:

The edges to check. Supply igraph_ess_all() if you want to check all edges.

Returns:

17. Mixing patterns

17.1. igraph_assortativity_nominal — Assortativity of a graph based on vertex categories

int igraph_assortativity_nominal(const igraph_t *graph,
                                 const igraph_vector_t *types,
                                 igraph_real_t *res,
                                 igraph_bool_t directed);

Assuming the vertices of the input graph belong to different categories, this function calculates the assortativity coefficient of the graph. The assortativity coefficient is between minus one and one and it is one if all connections stay within categories, it is minus one, if the network is perfectly disassortative. For a randomly connected network it is (asymptotically) zero.

See equation (2) in M. E. J. Newman: Mixing patterns in networks, Phys. Rev. E 67, 026126 (2003) (http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0209450) for the proper definition.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, it can be directed or undirected.

types:

Vector giving the vertex types. They are assumed to be integer numbers, starting with zero.

res:

Pointer to a real variable, the result is stored here.

directed:

Boolean, it gives whether to consider edge directions in a directed graph. It is ignored for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|E|+t), |E| is the number of edges, t is the number of vertex types.

See also: 

igraph_assortativity if the vertex types are defines by numeric values (e.g. vertex degree), instead of categories.

17.2. igraph_assortativity — Assortativity based on numeric properties of vertices

int igraph_assortativity(const igraph_t *graph,
                         const igraph_vector_t *types1,
                         const igraph_vector_t *types2,
                         igraph_real_t *res,
                         igraph_bool_t directed);

This function calculates the assortativity coefficient of the input graph. This coefficient is basically the correlation between the actual connectivity patterns of the vertices and the pattern expected from the distribution of the vertex types.

See equation (21) in M. E. J. Newman: Mixing patterns in networks, Phys. Rev. E 67, 026126 (2003) (http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0209450) for the proper definition. The actual calculation is performed using equation (26) in the same paper for directed graphs, and equation (4) in M. E. J. Newman: Assortative mixing in networks, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 208701 (2002) (http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0205405/) for undirected graphs.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, it can be directed or undirected.

types1:

The vertex values, these can be arbitrary numeric values.

types2:

A second value vector to be using for the incoming edges when calculating assortativity for a directed graph. Supply a null pointer here if you want to use the same values for outgoing and incoming edges. This argument is ignored (with a warning) if it is not a null pointer and undirected assortativity coefficient is being calculated.

res:

Pointer to a real variable, the result is stored here.

directed:

Boolean, whether to consider edge directions for directed graphs. It is ignored for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|E|), linear in the number of edges of the graph.

See also: 

igraph_assortativity_nominal() if you have discrete vertex categories instead of numeric labels, and igraph_assortativity_degree() for the special case of assortativity based on vertex degree.

17.3. igraph_assortativity_degree — Assortativity of a graph based on vertex degree

int igraph_assortativity_degree(const igraph_t *graph,
                                igraph_real_t *res,
                                igraph_bool_t directed);

Assortativity based on vertex degree, please see the discussion at the documentation of igraph_assortativity() for details.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, it can be directed or undirected.

res:

Pointer to a real variable, the result is stored here.

directed:

Boolean, whether to consider edge directions for directed graphs. This argument is ignored for undirected graphs. Supply 1 (=TRUE) here to do the natural thing, i.e. use directed version of the measure for directed graphs and the undirected version for undirected graphs.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|E|+|V|), |E| is the number of edges, |V| is the number of vertices.

See also: 

igraph_assortativity() for the general function calculating assortativity for any kind of numeric vertex values.

18. K-Cores

18.1. igraph_coreness — Finding the coreness of the vertices in a network.

int igraph_coreness(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_t *cores,
                    igraph_neimode_t mode);

The k-core of a graph is a maximal subgraph in which each vertex has at least degree k. (Degree here means the degree in the subgraph of course.). The coreness of a vertex is the highest order of a k-core containing the vertex.

This function implements the algorithm presented in Vladimir Batagelj, Matjaz Zaversnik: An O(m) Algorithm for Cores Decomposition of Networks.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph.

cores:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result of the computation will be stored here. It will be resized as needed. For each vertex it contains the highest order of a core containing the vertex.

mode:

For directed graph it specifies whether to calculate in-cores, out-cores or the undirected version. It is ignored for undirected graphs. Possible values: IGRAPH_ALL undirected version, IGRAPH_IN in-cores, IGRAPH_OUT out-cores.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|E|), the number of edges.

19. Topological sorting, directed acyclic graphs

19.1. igraph_is_dag — Checks whether a graph is a directed acyclic graph (DAG).

int igraph_is_dag(const igraph_t* graph, igraph_bool_t *res);

A directed acyclic graph (DAG) is a directed graph with no cycles.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph.

res:

Pointer to a boolean constant, the result is stored here.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), where |V| and |E| are the number of vertices and edges in the original input graph.

See also: 

igraph_topological_sorting() to get a possible topological sorting of a DAG.

19.2. igraph_topological_sorting — Calculate a possible topological sorting of the graph.

int igraph_topological_sorting(const igraph_t* graph, igraph_vector_t *res,
                               igraph_neimode_t mode);

A topological sorting of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) is a linear ordering of its vertices where each vertex comes before all nodes to which it has edges. Every DAG has at least one topological sort, and may have many. This function returns one possible topological sort among them. If the graph contains any cycles that are not self-loops, an error is raised.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph.

res:

Pointer to a vector, the result will be stored here. It will be resized if needed.

mode:

Specifies how to use the direction of the edges. For IGRAPH_OUT, the sorting order ensures that each vertex comes before all vertices to which it has edges, so vertices with no incoming edges go first. For IGRAPH_IN, it is quite the opposite: each vertex comes before all vertices from which it receives edges. Vertices with no outgoing edges go first.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), where |V| and |E| are the number of vertices and edges in the original input graph.

See also: 

igraph_is_dag() if you are only interested in whether a given graph is a DAG or not, or igraph_feedback_arc_set() to find a set of edges whose removal makes the graph acyclic.

19.3. igraph_feedback_arc_set — Calculates a feedback arc set of the graph using different

                            const igraph_vector_t *weights, igraph_fas_algorithm_t algo);

algorithms.

A feedback arc set is a set of edges whose removal makes the graph acyclic. We are usually interested in minimum feedback arc sets, i.e. sets of edges whose total weight is minimal among all the feedback arc sets.

For undirected graphs, the problem is simple: one has to find a maximum weight spanning tree and then remove all the edges not in the spanning tree. For directed graphs, this is an NP-hard problem, and various heuristics are usually used to find an approximate solution to the problem. This function implements a few of these heuristics.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

result:

An initialized vector, the result will be returned here.

weights:

Weight vector or NULL if no weights are specified.

algo:

The algorithm to use to solve the problem if the graph is directed. Possible values:

IGRAPH_FAS_EXACT_IP

Finds a minimum feedback arc set using integer programming (IP). The complexity of this algorithm is exponential of course.

IGRAPH_FAS_APPROX_EADES

Finds a feedback arc set using the heuristic of Eades, Lin and Smyth (1993). This is guaranteed to be smaller than |E|/2 - |V|/6, and it is linear in the number of edges (i.e. O(|E|)). For more details, see Eades P, Lin X and Smyth WF: A fast and effective heuristic for the feedback arc set problem. In: Proc Inf Process Lett 319-323, 1993.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_EINVAL if an unknown method was specified or the weight vector is invalid.

20. Maximum cardinality search and chordal graphs

20.1. igraph_maximum_cardinality_search — Maximum cardinality search.

int igraph_maximum_cardinality_search(const igraph_t *graph,
                                      igraph_vector_t *alpha,
                                      igraph_vector_t *alpham1);

This function implements the maximum cardinality search algorithm. It computes a rank alpha for each vertex, such that visiting vertices in decreasing rank order corresponds to always choosing the vertex with the most already visited neighbors as the next one to visit.

Maximum cardinality search is useful in deciding the chordality of a graph. A graph is chordal if and only if any two neighbors of a vertex which are higher in rank than it are connected to each other.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. Edge directions will be ignored.

alpha:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result is stored here. It will be resized, as needed. Upon return it contains the rank of the each vertex in the range 0 to n - 1, where n is the number of vertices.

alpham1:

Pointer to an initialized vector or a NULL pointer. If not NULL, then the inverse of alpha is stored here. In other words, the elements of alpham1 are vertex IDs in reverse maximum cardinality search order.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), linear in terms of the number of vertices and edges.

20.2. igraph_is_chordal — Decides whether a graph is chordal.

int igraph_is_chordal(const igraph_t *graph,
                      const igraph_vector_t *alpha,
                      const igraph_vector_t *alpham1,
                      igraph_bool_t *chordal,
                      igraph_vector_t *fill_in,
                      igraph_t *newgraph);

A graph is chordal if each of its cycles of four or more nodes has a chord, i.e. an edge joining two nodes that are not adjacent in the cycle. An equivalent definition is that any chordless cycles have at most three nodes. If either alpha or alpham1 is given, then the other is calculated by taking simply the inverse. If neither are given, then igraph_maximum_cardinality_search() is called to calculate them.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. Edge directions will be ignored.

alpha:

Either an alpha vector coming from igraph_maximum_cardinality_search() (on the same graph), or a NULL pointer.

alpham1:

Either an inverse alpha vector coming from igraph_maximum_cardinality_search() (on the same graph) or a NULL pointer.

chordal:

Pointer to a boolean. If not NULL the result is stored here.

fill_in:

Pointer to an initialized vector, or a NULL pointer. If not a NULL pointer, then the fill-in, also called the chordal completion of the graph is stored here. The chordal completion is a set of edges that are needed to make the graph chordal. The vector is resized as needed. Note that the chordal completion returned by this function may not be minimal, i.e. some of the returned fill-in edges may not be needed to make the graph chordal.

newgraph:

Pointer to an uninitialized graph, or a NULL pointer. If not a null pointer, then a new triangulated graph is created here. This essentially means adding the fill-in edges to the original graph.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(n).

21. Matchings

21.1. igraph_is_matching — Checks whether the given matching is valid for the given graph.

int igraph_is_matching(const igraph_t* graph,
                       const igraph_vector_bool_t* types, const igraph_vector_long_t* matching,
                       igraph_bool_t* result);

This function checks a matching vector and verifies whether its length matches the number of vertices in the given graph, its values are between -1 (inclusive) and the number of vertices (exclusive), and whether there exists a corresponding edge in the graph for every matched vertex pair. For bipartite graphs, it also verifies whether the matched vertices are in different parts of the graph.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. It can be directed but the edge directions will be ignored.

types:

If the graph is bipartite and you are interested in bipartite matchings only, pass the vertex types here. If the graph is non-bipartite, simply pass NULL.

matching:

The matching itself. It must be a vector where element i contains the ID of the vertex that vertex i is matched to, or -1 if vertex i is unmatched.

result:

Pointer to a boolean variable, the result will be returned here.

See also: 

igraph_is_maximal_matching() if you are also interested in whether the matching is maximal (i.e. non-extendable).

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|) where |V| is the number of vertices and |E| is the number of edges.

21.2. igraph_is_maximal_matching — Checks whether a matching in a graph is maximal.

int igraph_is_maximal_matching(const igraph_t* graph,
                               const igraph_vector_bool_t* types, const igraph_vector_long_t* matching,
                               igraph_bool_t* result);

A matching is maximal if and only if there exists no unmatched vertex in a graph such that one of its neighbors is also unmatched.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. It can be directed but the edge directions will be ignored.

types:

If the graph is bipartite and you are interested in bipartite matchings only, pass the vertex types here. If the graph is non-bipartite, simply pass NULL.

matching:

The matching itself. It must be a vector where element i contains the ID of the vertex that vertex i is matched to, or -1 if vertex i is unmatched.

result:

Pointer to a boolean variable, the result will be returned here.

See also: 

igraph_is_matching() if you are only interested in whether a matching vector is valid for a given graph.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|) where |V| is the number of vertices and |E| is the number of edges.

21.3. igraph_maximum_bipartite_matching — Calculates a maximum matching in a bipartite graph.

int igraph_maximum_bipartite_matching(const igraph_t* graph,
                                      const igraph_vector_bool_t* types, igraph_integer_t* matching_size,
                                      igraph_real_t* matching_weight, igraph_vector_long_t* matching,
                                      const igraph_vector_t* weights, igraph_real_t eps);

A matching in a bipartite graph is a partial assignment of vertices of the first kind to vertices of the second kind such that each vertex of the first kind is matched to at most one vertex of the second kind and vice versa, and matched vertices must be connected by an edge in the graph. The size (or cardinality) of a matching is the number of edges. A matching is a maximum matching if there exists no other matching with larger cardinality. For weighted graphs, a maximum matching is a matching whose edges have the largest possible total weight among all possible matchings.

Maximum matchings in bipartite graphs are found by the push-relabel algorithm with greedy initialization and a global relabeling after every n/2 steps where n is the number of vertices in the graph.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. It can be directed but the edge directions will be ignored.

types:

Boolean vector giving the vertex types of the graph.

matching_size:

The size of the matching (i.e. the number of matched vertex pairs will be returned here). It may be NULL if you don't need this.

matching_weight:

The weight of the matching if the edges are weighted, or the size of the matching again if the edges are unweighted. It may be NULL if you don't need this.

matching:

The matching itself. It must be a vector where element i contains the ID of the vertex that vertex i is matched to, or -1 if vertex i is unmatched.

weights:

A null pointer (=no edge weights), or a vector giving the weights of the edges. Note that the algorithm is stable only for integer weights.

eps:

A small real number used in equality tests in the weighted bipartite matching algorithm. Two real numbers are considered equal in the algorithm if their difference is smaller than eps. This is required to avoid the accumulation of numerical errors. It is advised to pass a value derived from the DBL_EPSILON constant in float.h here. If you are running the algorithm with no weights vector, this argument is ignored.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(sqrt(|V|) |E|) for unweighted graphs (according to the technical report referenced above), O(|V||E|) for weighted graphs.

22. Unfolding a graph into a tree

22.1. igraph_unfold_tree — Unfolding a graph into a tree, by possibly multiplicating its vertices.

int igraph_unfold_tree(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_t *tree,
                       igraph_neimode_t mode, const igraph_vector_t *roots,
                       igraph_vector_t *vertex_index);

A graph is converted into a tree (or forest, if it is unconnected), by performing a breadth-first search on it, and replicating vertices that were found a second, third, etc. time.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph, it can be either directed or undirected.

tree:

Pointer to an uninitialized graph object, the result is stored here.

mode:

For directed graphs; whether to follow paths along edge directions (IGRAPH_OUT), or the opposite (IGRAPH_IN), or ignore edge directions completely (IGRAPH_ALL). It is ignored for undirected graphs.

roots:

A numeric vector giving the root vertex, or vertices (if the graph is not connected), to start from.

vertex_index:

Pointer to an initialized vector, or a null pointer. If not a null pointer, then a mapping from the vertices in the new graph to the ones in the original is created here.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(n+m), linear in the number vertices and edges.

23. Other operations

23.1. igraph_density — Calculate the density of a graph.

int igraph_density(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_real_t *res,
                   igraph_bool_t loops);

The density of a graph is simply the ratio of the actual number of its edges and the largest possible number of edges it could have. The maximum number of edges depends on interpretation: are vertices allowed to have a connected to themselves? This is controlled by the loops parameter.

Note that density is ill-defined for graphs which have multiple edges between some pairs of vertices. Consider calling igraph_simplify() on such graphs.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph object.

res:

Pointer to a real number, the result will be stored here.

loops:

Logical constant, whether to include self-loops in the calculation. If this constant is TRUE then loop edges are thought to be possible in the graph (this does not necessarily mean that the graph really contains any loops). If this is FALSE then the result is only correct if the graph does not contain loops.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(1).

23.2. igraph_reciprocity — Calculates the reciprocity of a directed graph.

int igraph_reciprocity(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_real_t *res,
                       igraph_bool_t ignore_loops,
                       igraph_reciprocity_t mode);

The measure of reciprocity defines the proportion of mutual connections, in a directed graph. It is most commonly defined as the probability that the opposite counterpart of a directed edge is also included in the graph. In adjacency matrix notation: sum(i, j, (A.*A')ij) / sum(i, j, Aij), where A.*A' is the element-wise product of matrix A and its transpose. This measure is calculated if the mode argument is IGRAPH_RECIPROCITY_DEFAULT.

Prior to igraph version 0.6, another measure was implemented, defined as the probability of mutual connection between a vertex pair if we know that there is a (possibly non-mutual) connection between them. In other words, (unordered) vertex pairs are classified into three groups: (1) disconnected, (2) non-reciprocally connected, (3) reciprocally connected. The result is the size of group (3), divided by the sum of group sizes (2)+(3). This measure is calculated if mode is IGRAPH_RECIPROCITY_RATIO.

Arguments: 

graph:

The graph object.

res:

Pointer to an igraph_real_t which will contain the result.

ignore_loops:

Whether to ignore loop edges.

mode:

Type of reciprocity to calculate, possible values are IGRAPH_RECIPROCITY_DEFAULT and IGRAPH_RECIPROCITY_RATIO, please see their description above.

Returns: 

Error code: IGRAPH_EINVAL: graph has no edges IGRAPH_ENOMEM: not enough memory for temporary data.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), |V| is the number of vertices, |E| is the number of edges.

23.3. igraph_diversity — Structural diversity index of the vertices

int igraph_diversity(const igraph_t *graph, const igraph_vector_t *weights,
                     igraph_vector_t *res, const igraph_vs_t vids);

This measure was defined in Nathan Eagle, Michael Macy and Rob Claxton: Network Diversity and Economic Development, Science 328, 1029--1031, 2010.

It is simply the (normalized) Shannon entropy of the incident edges' weights. D(i)=H(i)/log(k[i]), and H(i) = -sum(p[i,j] log(p[i,j]), j=1..k[i]), where p[i,j]=w[i,j]/sum(w[i,l], l=1..k[i]), k[i] is the (total) degree of vertex i, and w[i,j] is the weight of the edge(s) between vertex i and j. The diversity of isolated vertices will be NaN (not-a-number), while that of vertices with a single connection will be zero.

The measure works only if the graph is undirected and has no multiple edges. If the graph has multiple edges, simplify it first using igraph_simplify(). If the graph is directed, convert it into an undirected graph with igraph_to_undirected() .

Arguments: 

graph:

The undirected input graph.

weights:

The edge weights, in the order of the edge ids, must have appropriate length. Weights must be non-negative.

res:

An initialized vector, the results are stored here.

vids:

Vertex selector that specifies the vertices which to calculate the measure.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), linear.

23.4. igraph_is_mutual — Check whether the edges of a directed graph are mutual.

int igraph_is_mutual(const igraph_t *graph, igraph_vector_bool_t *res, igraph_es_t es);

An (A,B) edge is mutual if the graph contains the (B,A) edge, too.

An undirected graph only has mutual edges, by definition.

Edge multiplicity is not considered here, e.g. if there are two (A,B) edges and one (B,A) edge, then all three are considered to be mutual.

Loops are always mutual.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph.

res:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result is stored here.

es:

The sequence of edges to check. Supply igraph_ess_all() for all edges, see igraph_ess_all().

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(n log(d)), n is the number of edges supplied, d is the maximum in-degree of the vertices that are targets of the supplied edges. An upper limit of the time complexity is O(n log(|E|)), |E| is the number of edges in the graph.

23.5. igraph_avg_nearest_neighbor_degree — Average neighbor degree.

int igraph_avg_nearest_neighbor_degree(const igraph_t *graph,
                                       igraph_vs_t vids,
                                       igraph_neimode_t mode,
                                       igraph_neimode_t neighbor_degree_mode,
                                       igraph_vector_t *knn,
                                       igraph_vector_t *knnk,
                                       const igraph_vector_t *weights);

Calculates the average degree of the neighbors for each vertex (knn), and optionally, the same quantity as a function of the vertex degree (knnk).

For isolated vertices knn is set to NaN. The same is done in knnk for vertex degrees that don't appear in the graph.

The weighted version computes a weighted average of the neighbor degrees as k_nn_u = 1/s_u sum_v w_uv k_v, where s_u = sum_v w_uv is the sum of the incident edge weights of vertex u, i.e. its strength. The sum runs over the neighbors v of vertex u as indicated by mode. w_uv denotes the weighted adjacency matrix and k_v is the neighbors' degree, specified by neighbor_degree_mode.

Arguments: 

graph:

The input graph. It may be directed.

vids:

The vertices for which the calculation is performed.

mode:

The type of neighbors to consider in directed graphs. IGRAPH_OUT considers out-neighbors, IGRAPH_IN in-neighbors and IGRAPH_ALL ignores edge directions.

neighbor_degree_mode:

The type of degree to average in directed graphs. IGRAPH_OUT averages out-degrees, IGRAPH_IN averages in-degrees and IGRAPH_ALL ignores edge directions for the degree calculation.

vids:

The vertices for which the calculation is performed.

knn:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the result will be stored here. It will be resized as needed. Supply a NULL pointer here, if you only want to calculate knnk.

knnk:

Pointer to an initialized vector, the average neighbor degree as a function of the vertex degree is stored here. The first (zeroth) element is for degree one vertices, etc. Supply a NULL pointer here if you don't want to calculate this.

weights:

Optional edge weights. Supply a null pointer here for the non-weighted version.

Returns: 

Error code.

Time complexity: O(|V|+|E|), linear in the number of vertices and edges.
