public class FlowerSnarkGenerator
extends BaseGenerator

Flower snark generator.

In the mathematical field of graph theory, the flower snarks form an infinite family of snarks introduced by Rufus Isaacs in 1975. As snarks, the flower snarks are a connected, bridgeless cubic graphs with chromatic index equal to 4. The flower snarks are non-planar and non-hamiltonian.

Method Detail

begin

public void begin()

Description copied from interface: Generator

Begin the graph generation. This usually is the place for initialization of the generator. After calling this method, call the Generator.nextEvents() method to add elements to the graph.

nextEvents

public boolean nextEvents()

Description copied from interface: Generator

Perform the next step in generating the graph. While this method returns true, there are still more elements to add to the graph to generate it. Be careful that some generators never return false here, since they can generate graphs of arbitrary size. For such generators, simply stop calling this method when enough elements have been generated. A call to this method can produce an undetermined number of nodes and edges. Checking nodes count is advisable when generating the graph to avoid an unwanted big graph.

Returns:

true while there are elements to add to the graph.
