PgRouting wiki page for MST and Mincut

Contents of the Wiki

Brief Description

Graph connectivity is one of the classical subjects in graph theory and has many practical applications. A Minimum Spanning Tree in an undirected connected weighted graph is a spanning tree of minimum weight. For this I will implement two Functions that are Prim Algorithms and Kruskal Algorithms.

Finding the minimum cut of an edge weighted graph is a fundamental algorithmic problem. Stoer–Wagner algorithm is a recursive algorithm to solve the minimum cut problem in undirected weighted graphs with non-negative weights. The essential idea of this algorithm is to shrink the graph by merging the most intensive vertices, until the graph only contains two combined vertex sets. I will implement Min-Cut by Stoer Wagner function.

State of the project before GSOC

Current state of PgRouting do not support Minimum Spanning Tree And MinCut. My project goal is to implement Prim algotithm, Kruskal algorithms and mincut by Stoer Wagner.

Week 10

  1. What did you get done this week? Read about RandomSpanningTree

    RandomSpanningTree

    The random_spanning_tree() function generates a random spanning tree on a directed or undirected graph. The algorithm used is Wilson's algorithm. There must be a path from every non-root vertex of the graph to the root; the algorithm typically enters an infinite loop when given a graph that does not satisfy this property, but may also throw the exception loop_erased_random_walk_stuck if the search reaches a vertex with no outgoing edges. Both weighted and unweighted versions of random_spanning_tree() are implemented. In the unweighted version, all spanning trees are equally likely. In the weighted version, the probability of a particular spanning tree being selected is the product of its edge weights.

    References:

    Prepare Basic code of randomSpanningTree(). Detailed can be found here [1].

  2. What am I going to achieve for next week?

    • I'll implement random_spanning_tree() and write documentation.
