Graph partitions

This module provides an interface for dealing with partitions on simple graphs. A partition of a graph G, with vertices V, is a set P of disjoint nonempty subsets of V such that:

• The union of the subsets in P is V.

• Each element of P is an independent set. (Each subset contains no pair of adjacent vertices.)

Graph partitions are graph colorings that do not name their colors. They are adjoint in the following sense. Given a graph coloring, there is an associated partition from the set of color classes, and given a partition, there is an associated graph coloring from using the partition's subsets as colors. Going from graph colorings to partitions and back makes a coloring "canonical": all colors are given a canonical name and unused colors are removed. Going from partitions to graph colorings and back is the identity.

Main definitions

• SimpleGraph.Partition is a structure to represent a partition of a simple graph

• SimpleGraph.Partition.PartsCardLe is whether a given partition is an n-partition. (a partition with at most n parts).

• SimpleGraph.Partitionable n is whether a given graph is n-partite

• SimpleGraph.Partition.toColoring creates colorings from partitions

• SimpleGraph.Coloring.toPartition creates partitions from colorings

Main statements

• SimpleGraph.partitionable_iff_colorable is that n-partitionability and n-colorability are equivalent.

structure SimpleGraph.Partition {V : Type u} (G : SimpleGraph V) : Type u

A Partition of a simple graph G is a structure constituted by

• parts: a set of subsets of the vertices V of G
• isPartition: a proof that parts is a proper partition of V
• independent: a proof that each element of parts doesn't have a pair of adjacent vertices

• parts : Set (Set V)

  parts: a set of subsets of the vertices V of G.

• isPartition : Setoid.IsPartition self.parts

  isPartition: a proof that parts is a proper partition of V.

• independent : ∀ s ∈ self.parts, IsAntichain G.Adj s

  independent: a proof that each element of parts doesn't have a pair of adjacent vertices.

def SimpleGraph.Partition.PartsCardLe {V : Type u} {G : SimpleGraph V} (P : G.Partition) (n : ℕ) : Prop

Whether a partition P has at most n parts. A graph with a partition satisfying this predicate called n-partite. (See SimpleGraph.Partitionable.)

Equations

• P.PartsCardLe n = ∃ (h : P.parts.Finite), h.toFinset.card ≤ n

def SimpleGraph.Partitionable {V : Type u} (G : SimpleGraph V) (n : ℕ) : Prop

Whether a graph is n-partite, which is whether its vertex set can be partitioned in at most n independent sets.

Equations

• G.Partitionable n = ∃ (P : G.Partition), P.PartsCardLe n

def SimpleGraph.Partition.partOfVertex {V : Type u} {G : SimpleGraph V} (P : G.Partition) (v : V) : Set V

The part in the partition that v belongs to

Equations

def SimpleGraph.Partition.toColoring {V : Type u} {G : SimpleGraph V} (P : G.Partition) : G.Coloring ↑P.parts

Create a coloring using the parts themselves as the colors. Each vertex is colored by the part it's contained in.

Equations

• P.toColoring = SimpleGraph.Coloring.mk (fun (v : V) => ⟨P.partOfVertex v, ⋯⟩) ⋯

def SimpleGraph.Partition.toColoring' {V : Type u} {G : SimpleGraph V} (P : G.Partition) : G.Coloring (Set V)

Like SimpleGraph.Partition.toColoring but uses Set V as the coloring type.

Equations

• P.toColoring' = SimpleGraph.Coloring.mk P.partOfVertex ⋯
