flowG : NetworkX graph

|
Edges of the graph are expected to have an attribute called

considered to have infinite capacity.
|
||
|
|

||
|

attribute is not present, the edge is considered to have

infinite capacity. Default value: 'capacity'.
|
||
|
|
||
|
flow_func : function
|
||
|
A function for computing the maximum flow among a pair of nodes
|
||
|
in a capacitated graph. The function has to accept at least three
|
||
|
parameters: a Graph or Digraph, a source node, and a target node.
|
||
|
And return a residual network that follows NetworkX conventions
|
||
|
(see Notes). If flow_func is None, the default maximum
|
||
|
flow function (:meth:`preflow_push`) is used. See below for
|
||
|
alternative algorithms. The choice of the default function may change
|
||
|
from version to version and should not be relied on. Default value:

None.

Notes
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
The function used in the flow_func parameter has to return a residual
|
||
|
network that follows NetworkX conventions:
|
||
|
|
||
|
The residual network :samp:`R` from an input graph :samp:`G` has the
|
||
|
same nodes as :samp:`G`. :samp:`R` is a DiGraph that contains a pair
|
||
|
of edges :samp:`(u, v)` and :samp:`(v, u)` iff :samp:`(u, v)` is not a
|
||
|
self-loop, and at least one of :samp:`(u, v)` and :samp:`(v, u)` exists
|
||
|
in :samp:`G`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For each edge :samp:`(u, v)` in :samp:`R`, :samp:`R[u][v]['capacity']`
|
||
|
is equal to the capacity of :samp:`(u, v)` in :samp:`G` if it exists
|
||
|
in :samp:`G` or zero otherwise. If the capacity is infinite,
|
||
|
:samp:`R[u][v]['capacity']` will have a high arbitrary finite value
|
||
|
that does not affect the solution of the problem. This value is stored in
|
||
|
:samp:`R.graph['inf']`. For each edge :samp:`(u, v)` in :samp:`R`,
|
||
|
:samp:`R[u][v]['flow']` represents the flow function of :samp:`(u, v)` and
|
||
|
satisfies :samp:`R[u][v]['flow'] == -R[v][u]['flow']`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The flow value, defined as the total flow into :samp:`t`, the sink, is
|
||
|
stored in :samp:`R.graph['flow_value']`. Reachability to :samp:`t` using
|
||
|
only edges :samp:`(u, v)` such that
|
||
|
:samp:`R[u][v]['flow'] < R[u][v]['capacity']` induces a minimum
|
||
|
:samp:`s`-:samp:`t` cut.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Specific algorithms may store extra data in :samp:`R`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The function should supports an optional boolean parameter value_only. When
|
||
|
True, it can optionally terminate the algorithm as soon as the maximum flow
|
||
|
value and the minimum cut can be determined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Examples
|
||
|
--------
|
||
|
>>> import networkx as nx
|
||
|
>>> G = nx.DiGraph()
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('x','a', capacity=3.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('x','b', capacity=1.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('a','c', capacity=3.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('b','c', capacity=5.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('b','d', capacity=4.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('d','e', capacity=2.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('c','y', capacity=2.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('e','y', capacity=3.0)
|
||
|
|
||
|
maximum_flow returns both the value of the maximum flow and a
|
||
|
dictionary with all flows.
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> flow_value, flow_dict = nx.maximum_flow(G, 'x', 'y')

|

|
>>> print(flow_dict['x']['b'])

minimum_cut computes both the value of the
|
||
|
minimum cut and the node partition:
|

|
|

|
>>> cut_value, partition = nx.minimum_cut(G, 'x', 'y')
|
||
|
>>> reachable, non_reachable = partition
|
||
|
|
||
|
'partition' here is a tuple with the two sets of nodes that define
|
||
|
the minimum cut. You can compute the cut set of edges that induce
|
||
|
the minimum cut as follows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> cutset = set()
|
||
|
>>> for u, nbrs in ((n, G[n]) for n in reachable):
|
||
|
... cutset.update((u, v) for v in nbrs if v in non_reachable)
|
||
|
>>> print(sorted(cutset))
|
||
|
[('c', 'y'), ('x', 'b')]
|
||
|
>>> cut_value == sum(G.edges[u, v]['capacity'] for (u, v) in cutset)
|
||
|
True
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can also use alternative algorithms for computing the
|
||
|
minimum cut by using the flow_func parameter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> from networkx.algorithms.flow import shortest_augmenting_path

Parameters
|
||
|
----------
|
||
|
flowG : NetworkX graph
|
||
|
Edges of the graph are expected to have an attribute called
|
||
|
'capacity'. If this attribute is not present, the edge is
|
||
|
considered to have infinite capacity.
|
||
|
|
||
|
_s : node
|
||
|
Source node for the flow.
|
||
|
|
||
|
_t : node
|
||
|
Sink node for the flow.
|
||
|
|
||
|
capacity : string
|
||
|
Edges of the graph G are expected to have an attribute capacity
|
||
|
that indicates how much flow the edge can support. If this
|
||
|
attribute is not present, the edge is considered to have
|
||
|
infinite capacity. Default value: 'capacity'.
|
||
|
|
||
|
flow_func : function
|
||
|
A function for computing the maximum flow among a pair of nodes
|
||
|
in a capacitated graph. The function has to accept at least three
|
||
|
parameters: a Graph or Digraph, a source node, and a target node.
|
||
|
And return a residual network that follows NetworkX conventions
|
||
|
(see Notes). If flow_func is None, the default maximum
|
||
|
flow function (:meth:`preflow_push`) is used. See below for
|
||
|
alternative algorithms. The choice of the default function may change
|
||
|
from version to version and should not be relied on. Default value:
|
||
|
None.
|
||
|
|
||
|
kwargs : Any other keyword parameter is passed to the function that
|
||
|
computes the maximum flow.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns
|
||
|
-------
|
||
|
cut_value : integer, float
|
||
|
Value of the minimum cut.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Raises
|
||
|
------
|
||
|
NetworkXUnbounded
|
||
|
If the graph has a path of infinite capacity, all cuts have
|
||
|
infinite capacity and the function raises a NetworkXError.

Notes
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
The function used in the flow_func parameter has to return a residual
|
||
|
network that follows NetworkX conventions:
|
||
|
|
||
|
The residual network :samp:`R` from an input graph :samp:`G` has the
|
||
|
same nodes as :samp:`G`. :samp:`R` is a DiGraph that contains a pair
|
||
|
of edges :samp:`(u, v)` and :samp:`(v, u)` iff :samp:`(u, v)` is not a
|
||
|
self-loop, and at least one of :samp:`(u, v)` and :samp:`(v, u)` exists
|
||
|
in :samp:`G`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For each edge :samp:`(u, v)` in :samp:`R`, :samp:`R[u][v]['capacity']`
|
||
|
is equal to the capacity of :samp:`(u, v)` in :samp:`G` if it exists
|
||
|
in :samp:`G` or zero otherwise. If the capacity is infinite,
|
||
|
:samp:`R[u][v]['capacity']` will have a high arbitrary finite value
|
||
|
that does not affect the solution of the problem. This value is stored in
|
||
|
:samp:`R.graph['inf']`. For each edge :samp:`(u, v)` in :samp:`R`,
|
||
|
:samp:`R[u][v]['flow']` represents the flow function of :samp:`(u, v)` and
|
||
|
satisfies :samp:`R[u][v]['flow'] == -R[v][u]['flow']`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The flow value, defined as the total flow into :samp:`t`, the sink, is
|
||
|
stored in :samp:`R.graph['flow_value']`. Reachability to :samp:`t` using
|
||
|
only edges :samp:`(u, v)` such that
|
||
|
:samp:`R[u][v]['flow'] < R[u][v]['capacity']` induces a minimum
|
||
|
:samp:`s`-:samp:`t` cut.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Specific algorithms may store extra data in :samp:`R`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The function should supports an optional boolean parameter value_only. When
|
||
|
True, it can optionally terminate the algorithm as soon as the maximum flow
|
||
|
value and the minimum cut can be determined.

||

Examples

|
--------
|

|
>>> import networkx as nx
|

>>> G = nx.DiGraph()
|

>>> G.add_edge('a','c', capacity = 3.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('b','c', capacity = 5.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('b','d', capacity = 4.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('d','e', capacity = 2.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('c','y', capacity = 2.0)
|
||
|
>>> G.add_edge('e','y', capacity = 3.0)
|
||
|
|
||
|
minimum_cut_value computes only the value of the
|
||
|
minimum cut:
|
||
|
|
||
|
>>> cut_value = nx.minimum_cut_value(G, 'x', 'y')
|
||
|
>>> cut_value
|
||
|
