Constructor Detail

HawickJamesSimpleCycles

public HawickJamesSimpleCycles()

Create a simple cycle finder with an unspecified graph.

HawickJamesSimpleCycles

public HawickJamesSimpleCycles(Graph<V,E> graph)
                        throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Create a simple cycle finder for the specified graph.

Parameters:

graph - the DirectedGraph in which to find cycles.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the graph argument is null.

Method Detail

getGraph

public Graph<V,E> getGraph()

Get the graph

Returns:

graph

setGraph

public void setGraph(Graph<V,E> graph)

Set the graph

Parameters:

graph - graph

findSimpleCycles

public java.util.List<java.util.List<V>> findSimpleCycles()
                                                   throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Find the simple cycles of the graph.

Specified by:

findSimpleCycles in interface DirectedSimpleCycles<V,E>

Returns:

The list of all simple cycles. Possibly empty but never null.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

printSimpleCycles

public void printSimpleCycles()

Print to the standard output all simple cycles without building a list to keep them, thus avoiding high memory consumption when investigating large and much connected graphs.

countSimpleCycles

public long countSimpleCycles()

Count the number of simple cycles. It can count up to Long.MAX cycles in a graph.

Returns:

the number of simple cycles
