GraphTheory

Maple 2018 enhances the GraphTheory package with new functions, including:

• 

CliquePolynomial

• 

DistancePolynomial

• 

FindClique

• 

GraphIntersection

• 

IndependencePolynomial

• 

IsReachable

• 

Reachable

The ChromaticNumber function includes a new heuristic for graph coloring.

The SpecialGraphs subpackage also includes commands for eight new graphs.

Examples

FindClique

FindClique returns a list of vertices which comprise a clique in the graph G. The optional parameter size specifies a size for the clique.

GraphIntersection

GraphIntersection returns a graph G which is the intersection of the graphs G1,...,Gs, such that

ChromaticNumber

ChromaticNumber returns the minimum number of colours necessary to colour the vertices of a graph so that no adjacent vertices are coloured the same. Maple 2018 includes a new heuristic, method=sat, which transforms the graph into an instance of the Boolean satisfiability problem which it then solves using the Logic[Satisfy] command.
The new default heuristic, method=fastest, runs the two methods optimal and sat in parallel and returns the result of whichever method finishes first.
