How close to ready is sage for teaching undergrad/grad combinatorial courses

Graphs:

  • - Complete, except maybe chromatic number and Hamiltonian paths? - interface with graphviz: There is some functionality to interface NetworkX with graphviz and some algorithms that are implemented directly in Cython (like spring layout). We also have a way to interface with pygraphviz, but it's probably not as natural or as easy as it should be.

    - See CombinatoricaCompare for a comparison to the fairly comprehensive graph theory functionality of the Mathematica Combinatorica package.

Trees:

  • - spanning trees / ... are there
    • maybe they should return a Graph (could be made to return graph by creating an empty graph and adding the returned edges).
    - no specific data structure for trees (orderered, ...)
    • Parts could be taken from MuPAD-Combinat
    - basic decomposable objects / species

Posets:

  • - TODO: (integrate Stembridge + MuPAD-Combinat)

Linear programming:

  • - Should be there ... - Networks?

Coding theory:

  • - Link with Guava in GAP: sage.coding.guava

Automata

  • - There exist specialized things in pyrex

Classical combinatorial objects

  • - Should be complete enough: partitions / ...

Generating functions

  • - guess / ... (TODO: port Martin Rubey's implementation in Axiom)
