Introduction

  • We are implementing graph objects and algorithms in ["SAGE"]. The main people working on this project are Emily Kirkman and Robert Miller.

Current Status

  • NetworkX base classes have been interfaced, and all functions are soon to follow.
  • Jason Grout's (Brigham Young) SQL lite graph database is almost finished, and when it is done, it will be interfaced by Emily.

  • Jim Morrow (UW) has expressed interest in using SAGE for his [http://www.math.washington.edu/~morrow/reu07/reu.html summer REU] on graphs. Robert is working on implementing electrical networks, which includes implementing edge weights and graphs with boundary.

  • Chris Godsil (Waterloo) has expressed interest in helping design a more general discrete math package in SAGE, including perhaps an open source version of nauty. Robert is working to fulfill his wish list.
  • Graph plotting has been implemented in two dimensions: 

C = graphs.CubeGraph(9)
color = {}
for v in C.vertices():
    b = v.count('1')/9
    g = 1 - b
    if color.has_key((0, g, b)): color[(0, g, b)].append(v)
    else: color[(0, g, b)] = [v]
C.show(vertex_labels=False, node_size=60, graph_border=True, color_dict=color, figsize=[9,8])

Talks

  • On Oct. 20, 2006, Robert gave a [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/rlmill/talk_2001-10-20/2006-10-20SAGE.pdf talk] about the state of affairs for existing software which shared a few benchmarks and discussed some implementation ideas.

  • On Feb. 15, 2007, Robert and Emily gave an Informal Introduction to the Graph Theory Package. This talk was essentially a review of newly available features.
