Class Topological

  • public class Topological
extends Object
    The Topological class represents a data type for determining a topological order of a directed acyclic graph (DAG). A digraph has a topological order if and only if it is a DAG. The hasOrder operation determines whether the digraph has a topological order, and if so, the order operation returns one.

    This implementation uses depth-first search. The constructor takes Θ(V + E) time in the worst case, where V is the number of vertices and E is the number of edges. Each instance method takes Θ(1) time. It uses Θ(V) extra space (not including the digraph).

    See DirectedCycle, DirectedCycleX, and EdgeWeightedDirectedCycle for computing a directed cycle if the digraph is not a DAG. See TopologicalX for a nonrecursive queue-based algorithm for computing a topological order of a DAG.

    For additional documentation, see Section 4.2 of Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.

    • Constructor Detail

      • Topological

        public Topological​(Digraph G)
        Determines whether the digraph G has a topological order and, if so, finds such a topological order.
        Parameters:
        G - the digraph

      • Topological

        public Topological​(EdgeWeightedDigraph G)
        Determines whether the edge-weighted digraph G has a topological order and, if so, finds such an order.
        Parameters:
        G - the edge-weighted digraph

    • Method Detail

      • order

        public Iterable<Integer> order()
        Returns a topological order if the digraph has a topological order, and null otherwise.
        Returns:
        a topological order of the vertices (as an iterable) if the digraph has a topological order (or equivalently, if the digraph is a DAG), and null otherwise

      • hasOrder

        public boolean hasOrder()
        Does the digraph have a topological order?
        Returns:
        true if the digraph has a topological order (or equivalently, if the digraph is a DAG), and false otherwise

      • rank

        public int rank​(int v)
        The rank of vertex v in the topological order; -1 if the digraph is not a DAG
        Parameters:
        v - the vertex
        Returns:
        the position of vertex v in a topological order of the digraph; -1 if the digraph is not a DAG
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - unless 0 <= v < V

      • main

        public static void main​(String[] args)
        Unit tests the Topological data type.
        Parameters:
        args - the command-line arguments
