Synopsis

genspecialg [-s|-g|-z|-d|-v] [-q] [graph options]... [outfile]

Description

Generate special graphs.

Options

General Options

-s : Write in sparse6 format (default)

-g : Write in graph6 format

-z : Make digraph versions and write in digraph6 format

-d : Write in dreadnaut format (can be used with -z)

-v : For each graph, report the size to stderr

-q : Suppress summary

Special Options

If defined, the digraph version is shown in <angle brackets>: # size parameter called n in the descriptoins.

-p#

: path <directed path> on n vertices

-c#

: cycle <directed cycle> on n vertices

-e#

: empty graph <digraph with loops only> on n vertices

-k#

: complete graph <with loops> on n vertices

-b#,#[,#] : complete bipartite graph <directed l->r> on n vertices

minus a matching of given size if present

-m#,#... : multipartite graph

-a#

: antiprism <directed antiprism> on 2n

-l#

: moebius ladder <directed cycle, undirected rungs> with # vertices

-D#,# : de Bruijn graph <digraph>. D(m,t) has order m^t

-w#

: wheel with # spokes <directed out from hub>

-f#

: flower snark on 4n vertices

-L#

: triangular graph, the linegraph of K_n

-P#,# : generalized Petersen graph; usual one is -P5,2

-Q#  -Q#,#

: hypercube on 2^n vertices. Q(n,t) has vertices {0,1}^n and edges for hamming distance t.  t=1 is default.

-A#

: connected antiregular graph on n vertices

-J#,# : Johnson graph J(n,k), args are n and k

-K#,# -K#,#,# : Generalized Kneser graph. K(n,k,t) is graph of k-subsets

of an n-set whose intersection is t. Default for t is 0.

-C[,#] : circulant <di>graph; first arg is the number of vertices

-T[,#] : theta <di>graph Theta(#,#,...), give path lengths

-G[,#] : <directed> grid, use negative values for open directions

-Y#

: Paley graph or digraph, depending on size. Nondeterministic.

-X# : produce a named graph, # can be an index or a partial name.

Use genspecialg --Xhelp for a list.

Any number of graphs can be generated at once.
