functions - Vertex descendants subgraph


Keywords: vertex, ancestors, descendants, subgraph, directed graph, flow subtree




So let's say we have a TreeGraph:


opts = Sequence[
   EdgeShapeFunction -> GraphElementData["FilledArrow", "ArrowSize" -> 0.02], 
   VertexLabels      -> "Name"
];

data = RandomInteger[#] -> # + 1 & /@ Range[0, 10];

g = TreeGraph[data, opts]

Question


What's the proper/functional way to get subgraph containing only successors of given node with respect to the flow.


I'm not very familiar with graphs so I have a solution (bottom) but I suppose I'm missing some basic graph related functions.


Example


for 0 it would be the whole graph


for 4 it would be {4->5, 5->8, 8->9}


Problem


I can't find appriopriate function and AdjacencyList/IncidenceList don't respect the direction of the flow:


topV = 4;

HighlightGraph[g, 
  {Style[topV, Blue], AdjacencyList[g, topV, 2], IncidenceList[g, topV, 2]}
]

enter image description here


My brute force but not so stupid solution:


let's cut the inflow! so the AdjacencyList won't leave this way :)


subTreeWF[g, 4] // TreeGraph[#, opts] &

enter image description here



I'm assuming here that the topNode is not the final one, in such case additional check is needed.


subTreeWF[treeGraph_, topNode_] := Module[{edges},
  edges = EdgeList @ treeGraph;
  edges = DeleteCases[  edges, 
     (Rule | DirectedEdge | UndirectedEdge)[_, topNode]
  ];

  IncidenceList[Graph @ edges, topNode, \[Infinity]]

]



g = Graph[RandomInteger[#] -> # + 1 & /@ Range[0, 30], opts];

topV = 5;

HighlightGraph[g, {Style[topV, Blue], subTreeWF[g, topV]}]

enter image description here



Answer




You are looking for VertexOutComponent.


VertexOutComponent[g, 4]

gives you the successors of 4. Use Subgraph to get an actual graph out of those. With HighlightGraph, you can also use a subgraph, it will highlight both vertices and edges: HighlightGraph[g, Subgraph[g, VertexOutComponent[g, 4]]].


For visualizing the graph, use GraphLayout -> "LayeredDigraphEmbedding", which will place the root at the topmost position. Some other tree layouts have a "RootVertex" suboptions to achieve this (e.g. for undirected where anything can be the "root").

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
