graphs.graph_peripherality ========================== .. py:module:: graphs.graph_peripherality .. autoapi-nested-parse:: Graph Peripheral and Farness Algorithms for Determining Peripheral and Farthest Nodes in a Graph. This module provides functions to compute the peripheral and farthest nodes in a weighted graph based on graph-theoretical distance measures. The peripheral node maximizes the maximum shortest-path distance to all other reachable nodes (eccentricity), while the far node maximizes the sum of shortest-path distances to all other reachable nodes (farness). Problem Description: Given a weighted graph G = (V, E), where V is the set of vertices, and E is the set of edges with positive weights representing distances between nodes, determine: - Peripheral Node: The node with maximal eccentricity. The eccentricity of a node v is defined as the greatest distance between v and any other node reachable from v. - Far Node: The node with maximal farness. Farness of a node v is the sum of the shortest-path distances from v to all other reachable nodes. Algorithms Implemented: - Floyd-Warshall Algorithm for All-Pairs Shortest Paths. - Calculation of Eccentricity and Farness for identifying Peripheral and Far nodes. Algorithm Descriptions: Floyd-Warshall Algorithm (Pseudo-code): --------------------------------------- for k from 1 to N: for i from 1 to N: for j from 1 to N: if distance[i][j] > distance[i][k] + distance[k][j]: distance[i][j] = distance[i][k] + distance[k][j] Peripheral and Far Node Calculation: ------------------------------------ For each node i: - Eccentricity[i] = maximum distance from node i to any other reachable node. - Farness[i] = sum of distances from node i to all reachable nodes. Select: - Peripheral Node: node with maximal eccentricity. - Far Node: node with maximal farness. References: - Floyd-Warshall Algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd-Warshall_algorithm - Eccentricity and Farness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_(graph_theory) Example Application: These algorithms can be applied to network analysis, such as identifying the most distant nodes within a network, analyzing communication delays, or planning infrastructure at the boundaries of a network.
