The AdjacencyMap data type represents a graph by a map of vertices to their adjacency sets. We define a law-abiding Num instance as a convenient notation for working with graphs:

0           == vertex 0
1 + 2       == overlay (vertex 1) (vertex 2)
1 * 2       == connect (vertex 1) (vertex 2)
1 + 2 * 3   == overlay (vertex 1) (connect (vertex 2) (vertex 3))
1 * (2 + 3) == connect (vertex 1) (overlay (vertex 2) (vertex 3))

The Show instance is defined using basic graph construction primitives:

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

The Eq instance satisfies all axioms of algebraic graphs:

• overlay is commutative and associative:

        x + y == y + x
  x + (y + z) == (x + y) + z

• connect is associative and has empty as the identity:

    x * empty == x
    empty * x == x
  x * (y * z) == (x * y) * z

• connect distributes over overlay:

  x * (y + z) == x * y + x * z
  (x + y) * z == x * z + y * z

• connect can be decomposed:

  x * y * z == x * y + x * z + y * z

The following useful theorems can be proved from the above set of axioms.

• overlay has empty as the identity and is idempotent:

    x + empty == x
    empty + x == x
        x + x == x

• Absorption and saturation of connect:

  x * y + x + y == x * y
      x * x * x == x * x

When specifying the time and memory complexity of graph algorithms, n and m will denote the number of vertices and edges in the graph, respectively.

Check if the internal graph representation is consistent, i.e. that all edges refer to existing vertices. It should be impossible to create an inconsistent adjacency map, and we use this function in testing.

consistent empty                  == True
consistent (vertex x)             == True
consistent (overlay x y)          == True
consistent (connect x y)          == True
consistent (edge x y)             == True
consistent (edges xs)             == True
consistent (graph xs ys)          == True
consistent (fromAdjacencyList xs) == True

Construct the empty graph. Complexity: O(1) time and memory.

isEmpty     empty == True

Overlay two graphs. This is an idempotent, commutative and associative operation with the identity empty. Complexity: O((n + m) * log(n)) time and O(n + m) memory.

Connect two graphs. This is an associative operation with the identity empty, which distributes over the overlay and obeys the decomposition axiom. Complexity: O((n + m) * log(n)) time and O(n + m) memory. Note that the number of edges in the resulting graph is quadratic with respect to the number of vertices of the arguments: m = O(m1 + m2 + n1 * n2).

isEmpty     (connect x y) == isEmpty   x   && isEmpty   y
hasVertex z (connect x y) == hasVertex z x || hasVertex z y
vertexCount (connect x y) >= vertexCount x
vertexCount (connect x y) <= vertexCount x + vertexCount y
edgeCount   (connect x y) >= edgeCount x
edgeCount   (connect x y) >= edgeCount y
edgeCount   (connect x y) >= vertexCount x * vertexCount y
edgeCount   (connect x y) <= vertexCount x * vertexCount y + edgeCount x + edgeCount y
vertexCount (connect 1 2) == 2
edgeCount   (connect 1 2) == 1

removeEdge x y . removeEdge x y == removeEdge x y
removeEdge x y . removeVertex x == removeVertex x
