How to find those missing edges in a grid graph


I want to find a new method for this question.Suppose I have a such graph


graph = Graph[{1 <-> 2, 1 <-> 6, 2 <-> 3, 2 <-> 7, 3 <-> 4, 3 <-> 17, 
4 <-> 5, 4 <-> 9, 5 <-> 10, 6 <-> 7, 7 <-> 17, 7 <-> 12, 17 <-> 9,
17 <-> 13, 9 <-> 10, 9 <-> 14, 11 <-> 12, 11 <-> 16, 12 <-> 13,
12 <-> 8, 13 <-> 14, 13 <-> 18, 14 <-> 24, 14 <-> 19, 24 <-> 20,

16 <-> 8, 16 <-> 21, 8 <-> 18, 8 <-> 22, 18 <-> 19, 18 <-> 23,
19 <-> 20, 19 <-> 15, 20 <-> 25, 21 <-> 22, 21 <-> 26, 22 <-> 23,
22 <-> 27, 23 <-> 15, 23 <-> 28, 15 <-> 29, 25 <-> 30, 26 <-> 27,
27 <-> 28, 28 <-> 29, 29 <-> 30}, VertexLabels -> "Name"]

How to find those missing edges,such as {6<->11,10<->24,15<->25}?



Answer



If only edges are missing, you can first generate a list of candidate grid graphs with the same number of nodes as in graph, then see which one contains graph as a subgraph. IGraph/M has subgraph finding functionality.


It could be derived from any of these grids, as they all have the same number of nodes:



candidateGrids =
With[{vc = VertexCount[graph]},
GridGraph[{#, vc/#}] & /@ Select[Divisors[vc], # <= Sqrt[vc] &]
]

Mathematica graphics


Select the first one of these which contains graph as a subgraph:


<< IGraphM`
completeGrid = SelectFirst[candidateGrids, IGSubisomorphicQ[graph, #] &]


We can find one mapping between the vertices of graph and completeGrid using IGVF2GetSubisomorphism:


mapping = First@IGVF2GetSubisomorphism[graph, completeGrid]
(* <|1 -> 1, 2 -> 2, 6 -> 6, 3 -> 3, 7 -> 7, 4 -> 4, 17 -> 8,
5 -> 5, 9 -> 9, 10 -> 10, 12 -> 12, 13 -> 13, 14 -> 14, 11 -> 11,
16 -> 16, 8 -> 17, 18 -> 18, 24 -> 15, 19 -> 19, 20 -> 20, 21 -> 21,
22 -> 22, 23 -> 23, 15 -> 24, 25 -> 25, 26 -> 26, 27 -> 27, 28 -> 28,
29 -> 29, 30 -> 30|> *)

Then you can retrieve whatever you like: vertex coordinates, missing edges, etc.


coords = PropertyValue[{completeGrid, #}, VertexCoordinates] & /@ 

Lookup[mapping, VertexList[graph]]

SetProperty[
graph,
VertexCoordinates -> Thread[VertexList[graph] -> coords]
]

Mathematica graphics


Or missing edges:


reverseMapping = Reverse /@ Normal[mapping];


missing =
Block[{UndirectedEdge},
SetAttributes[UndirectedEdge, Orderless];
Complement[
EdgeList[completeGrid] /. reverseMapping,
EdgeList[graph]
]
]
(* {6 <-> 11, 10 <-> 24, 15 <-> 25} *)


(The Orderless attribute is temporarily set on UndirectedEdge to make sure that a <-> b is considered the same as b <-> a.)


HighlightGraph[
VertexReplace[completeGrid, reverseMapping],
missing,
GraphHighlightStyle -> "Dashed",
Options[completeGrid, GraphLayout]
]

Mathematica graphics





This will, of course, be quite slow due to the difficulty of finding subgraphs. It will only work well for small grids like the one in your example.


To get all possible mappings instead of just one, use IGVF2FindSubisomorphisms. There will always be at least 4 possible mapping due to the symmetries of grid graphs.

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
