Class DirectedHyperedge

Description

This class represents directed hyperedges in a Hypergraph-class. A directed hyperedge consists of two disjount sets of nodes, those in the tail and those in the head of the hyperedge. Directed hyperedges are sometimes called hyperarcs.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("DirectedHyperedge", head, tail, label). You can also use the convenience function DirectedHyperedge.

Slots

tail:

Character vector of nodes in the tail of the hyperedge

head:

Character vector of nodes in the head of the hyperege

label:

Character string describing the directed hyperedge

Extends

Class "Hyperedge", directly.

Methods

head

signature(x = "DirectedHyperedge"): Return a vector containing the nodes in the head of the hyperedge

tail

signature(x = "DirectedHyperedge"): Return a vector containing the nodes in the tail of the hyperedge

initialize

signature(.Object = "DirectedHyperedge"): Create a new instance.

nodes

signature(object = "DirectedHyperedge"): Return a vector containing all nodes present in the hyperedge.

show

signature(object = "DirectedHyperedge"): Print me

toUndirected

signature(.Object = "DirectedHyperedge"): Return a Hyperedge-class object that results from coercing to an undirected hyperedge.

A convenience constructor for Hyperedge-class objects

Character vector of nodes that are part of the hyperedge

Class Hyperedge

Description

A Hyperedge object represents a hyperedge in a hypergraph, that is, a subset of the nodes of a hypergraph.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("Hyperedge", nodes, label). You can also use the convenience function Hyperedge to create instances. This is especially useful for creating a list of Hyperedge instances using lapply.

Slots

head:

A vector of mode "character" containing the node labels that are a part of the hyperedge

label:

An arbitrary "character" string describing this hyperedge

Methods

initialize

signature(.Object = "Hyperedge"): Create an instance

label

signature(object = "Hyperedge"): Return the value of the label slot

label<-

signature(object = "Hyperedge", value = "character"): Set the label slot.

nodes

signature(object = "Hyperedge"): Return a vector containing the nodes in the hyperedge

show

signature(object = "Hyperedge"): Print a textual summary of the hyperedge

Class Hypergraph

Description

A hypergraph consists of a set of nodes and a set of hyperedges. Each hyperedge is a subset of the node set. This class provides a representation of a hypergraph that is (hopefully) useful for computing.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("Hypergraph", nodes, hyperedges). You can also use the convenience function Hypergraph. The nodes argument should be a character vector of distinct labels representing the nodes of the hypergraph. The hyperedges argument must be a list of Hyperedge-class objects.

Slots

nodes:

A "character" vector specifying the nodes

hyperedges:

A "list" of Hyperedge-class objects

Methods

hyperedges

signature(.Object = "Hypergraph"): Return the list of Hyperedge objects

hyperedgeLabels

signature(.Object = "Hypergraph"): Return a character vector of labels for the Hyperedge objects in the hypergraph.

inciMat

signature(.Object = "Hypergraph"): Return the incidence matrix representation of this hypergraph

inciMat2HG

signature(.Object = "matrix"): Return the hypergraph representation of this incidence matrix

initialize

signature(.Object = "Hypergraph"): Create an instance

nodes

signature(object = "Hypergraph"): Return the vector of nodes (character vector)

numNodes

signature(object = "Hypergraph"): Return the number of nodes in the hypergraph

toGraphNEL

signature(.Object = "Hypergraph"): Return the graphNEL representation of the hypergraph (a bipartite graph)

Find all the k-cores in a hypergraph

Description

Find all the k-cores in a hypergraph

Usage

kCoresHypergraph(hg)

Arguments

hg

an instance of the Hypergraph class

Details

A k-core in a hypergraph is a maximal subhypergraph where (a) no hyperedge is contained in another, and (b) each node is adjacent to at least k hyperedges in the subgraph.

The implementation is based on the algorithm by E. Ramadan, A. Tarafdar, A. Pothen, 2004.

Value

A vector of the core numbers for all the nodes in g.

Create lists of Hyperedge objects

Description

Conveniently create lists of Hyperedge-class instances.

Usage

l2hel(e)

Arguments

e

A list of character vectors. Each element of the list represents a hyperedge and the character vector value specifies the nodes of the hypergraph that are part of the hyperedge. The names of the list elements, if found, will be used as the label for the corresponding Hyperedge object.

Value

A list of Hyperedge-class objects. If the list e did not have names, the labels of the Hyperedges will be set to its index in the list coerced to character.

Approximate minimum weight vertex cover in a hypergraph

Description

Approximate minimum weight vertex cover in a hypergraph

Usage

vCoverHypergraph(hg, vW=rep(1, numNodes(hg)))

Arguments

hg

an instance of the Hypergraph class

vW

vertex weights

Details

Hypergraph g has non-negative weights on its vertices. The minimum weight vertex cover problem is to find a subset of vertices C such that C includes at least one vertex from each hyperedge and the sum of the weights of the vertices in C is minimum. This problem is NP-hard.

We implement the greedy algorithm to approximate near-optimal solution, proposed by E. Ramadan, A. Tarafdar, A. Pothen, 2004.

Value

A list of vertices from hypergraph g.
