DeBruijnGraph

DeBruijnGraph[m,n]

gives the n-dimensional De Bruijn graph with m symbols.

DeBruijnGraph[m,n,type]

gives the De Bruijn graph with connectivity given by type.

Details and Options

  • DeBruijnGraph[m,n] has mn vertices, consisting of all length-n sequences of m symbols. Given two vertices v={s1,,sn} and ={t1,,tn}, there is an edge from v to , provided s2==t1, s3==t2, , sn==tn-1.
  • DeBruijnGraph[m,n,type] specifies different connectivity types. The following types can be given:
  • "Noncyclic"s_(2)⩵t_(1), , s_(n)⩵t_(n-1)
    "LeftShift"s_(1)⩵t_(n), s2t1, , sn t_(n-1)
    "RightShift"s_1⩵t_(2), , s_(n-1)⩵t_(n), s_(n)⩵t_(1)
  • DeBruijnGraph[] is a directed graph.
  • DeBruijnGraph takes the same options as Graph.
