Welcome to the pgrouting wiki for contraction!

##Brief Description

In big graphs, like the road graphs, or electric networks, graph contraction can be used to speed up some graph algorithms. Contraction reduces the size of the graph by removing some of the vertices and edges and, for example, might add edges that represent a sequence of original edges decreasing the total time and space used in graph algorithms.

This implementation gives a flexible framework for adding contraction algorithms in the future, currently, it supports two algorithms:

  • Dead end contraction
  • Linear contraction

Allowing the user to:

  • Forbid contraction on a set of nodes.
  • Decide the order of the contraction algorithms and set the maximum number of times they are to be executed.

##State of the project before GSoC Previously there is no contraction functionality in the library.

##Addition that my project brought to the software I implemented the following during the GSoC program

  • A framework which supports the addition of new contraction algorithms.
  • Implementation of Dead end contraction.
  • Implementation of Linear contraction which will be used to refine the framework.
  • Additional characteristics where:
    • The user can forbid to contract a particular set of nodes or edges.
    • The user can decide how many times the cycle can be done.
    • The user can decide the order of the operations on a cycle.
  • Proper documentation and tests for the above ­mentioned components.

Message posted from the mentor on July 26

Message from Virginia Vergara:

Documentation can be updated after I make the alpha, but signature can not, so this is urgent:

  • put the underscore to _pgr_contractGraph
  • write the pgr_contractGaph (whith out the underscore) with the different order but all the columns
    • So the only pgtap tests that will fail are the ones that test the types of the results, all the documentation tests will fail and the generated documentation will change
tools/testers/algorithm-tester.pl -documentation -alg contraction
  • vi test.conf and put all tests in the nontested section and except "sampleData"
  • vi sampleData.result and delete everything
tools/testers/algorithm-tester.pl -alg contraction
  • copy/paste the results into sampleData.result and :s%/> // to remove the "> "
  • then you put another test in the tests section and do the same until you finish all tests

please before you work on the documentation stuff, make the changes of the signature & the changes of the tests & the documentation queries

  • Identified a bug in the base graph class implementation.
  • Designed the vertex structure for contraction.
  • Designed the edge structure for contraction.
  • Designed a structure for performing set operations(Identifers class) which is used for contraction.
  • Wrote unit tests for the Identifiers class .
  • Implemented a pl/pgsql function to return results of contraction query.

##What will I be working on next week?

  • Design a generic template model for contraction, which supports the addition of new contraction techniques.

##Did I meet with any stumbling blocks?

  • I had a problem in writing functions for the vertex class which had to be passed to the base graph as a template. My mentor Vicky Vergara helped me to solve it.
  • At the moment I’m not blocked.
