Graph algorithms in lua

Features

The graph algorithms covered:

  • Graph data structure (directed / undirected / weighted / unweighted)
  • Depth first search
  • Breadth first search
  • Connected components
  • Strongly connected components
  • Topological sort
  • Minimum spanning tree (Kruskal)
  • Minimum spanning tree (Prim)
  • Max flow min cut
  • Dijkstra shortest paths
  • Topogical sort shortest paths
  • Bellman Ford shortest paths

Notes

For developers who have been using library 1.0.2, the main changes are:

  • graph.V is removed and replaced with graph:vertexCount() and graph:vertexAt(index) method for iterating all vertices: this change was introduced so that graph vertices do not need to start with vertex 0 and do not need to be consecutive integer (can be any label).
  • graph:addVertexIfNotExists: allows user to add vertices later after the graph is created
  • graph:removeVertex: allows user to delete a vertex and its edges
  • graph:addEdge: Now if the vertices on which the edge is to be added does not exists in the graph, they will be automatically added

Usage

Create an undirected unweighted graph

local g = require('luagraphs.data.graph').create(6)
g:addEdge(0, 5) -- bidirectional edge connecting 0 and 5
g:addEdge(2, 4)
g:addEdge(2, 3)
g:addEdge(1, 2)
g:addEdge(0, 1)
g:addEdge(3, 4)
g:addEdge(3, 5)
g:addEdge(0, 2)

print(g:vertexCount()) -- return 6

-- code below prints the adjacency list 
for k = 0, g:vertexCount() -1 do -- iterate through all the vertices in g
    local v = g:vertexAt(k)
    local adj_v = g:adj(v) -- adjacency list for vertex v
    local text = ''
    for i = 0, adj_v:size()-1 do
        text = text .. ', ' .. adj_v:get(i):other(v)
    end
    print(text)
end

Create an undirected unweighted graph and add / remove vertices later

local g = require('luagraphs.data.graph').create(6)
g:addEdge(0, 5) -- bidirectional edge connecting 0 and 5
g:addEdge(2, 4)
g:addEdge(2, 3)
g:addEdge(1, 2)
g:addEdge(0, 1)
g:addEdge(3, 4)
g:addEdge(3, 5)
g:addEdge(0, 2)

-- expand the graph by another 3 vertices: -1, 9, and 10
-- if you want to add a vertex without adding an edge, can just call g:addVertexIfNotExists(vertexId) instead
g:addEdge(-1, 10) 
g:addEdge(9, 2)
g:addEdge(-1, 0)

print(g:containsVertex(9)) -- return true
print(g:containsVertex(-1)) -- return true
print(g:containsVertex(8)) -- return false

print(g:vertexCount()) -- return 9

-- to remove a vertex, can just call g:removeVertex(vertexId)

-- code below prints the adjacency list 
for k = 0, g:vertexCount() -1 do -- iterate through all the vertices in g
    local v = g:vertexAt(k)
    local adj_v = g:adj(v) -- adjacency list for vertex v
    local text = ''
    for i = 0, adj_v:size()-1 do
        text = text .. ', ' .. adj_v:get(i):other(v)
    end
    print(text)
end

print(g:vertexCount()) -- return 4

g:addEdge(0, 5) -- add a new vertex 0 and a bidirectional edge connecting 0 and 5

print(g:vertexCount()) -- return 5

g:removeVertex(10)

print(g:vertexCount()) -- return 4


-- code below prints the adjacency list 
for k = 0, g:vertexCount() -1 do -- iterate through all the vertices in g
    local v = g:vertexAt(k)
    local adj_v = g:adj(v) -- adjacency list for vertex v
    local text = ''
    for i = 0, adj_v:size()-1 do
        text = text .. ', ' .. adj_v:get(i):other(v)
    end
    print(text)
end

local g = require('luagraphs.data.graph').create(6, true) -- true means it is directed

        text = text .. ', ' .. e:other(v)
    end
    print(text)
