# graphscope.experimental.nx.generators.classic.circulant_graph¶

graphscope.experimental.nx.generators.classic.circulant_graph(n, offsets, create_using=None)[source]

Generates the circulant graph $Ci_n(x_1, x_2, …, x_m)$ with $n$ vertices.

Returns

• The graph $Ci_n(x_1, …, x_m)$ consisting of $n$ vertices $0, …, n-1$ such

• that the vertex with label $i$ is connected to the vertices labelled $(i + x)$

• and $(i - x)$, for all $x$ in $x_1$ up to $x_m$, with the indices taken modulo $n$.

Parameters
• n (integer) – The number of vertices the generated graph is to contain.

• offsets (list of integers) – A list of vertex offsets, $x_1$ up to $x_m$, as described above.

• create_using (NetworkX graph constructor, optional (default=nx.Graph)) – Graph type to create. If graph instance, then cleared before populated.

Examples

Many well-known graph families are subfamilies of the circulant graphs; for example, to generate the cycle graph on n points, we connect every vertex to every other at offset plus or minus one. For n = 10,

>>> import networkx
>>> G = networkx.generators.classic.circulant_graph(10, [1])
>>> edges = [
...     (0, 9),
...     (0, 1),
...     (1, 2),
...     (2, 3),
...     (3, 4),
...     (4, 5),
...     (5, 6),
...     (6, 7),
...     (7, 8),
...     (8, 9),
... ]
...
>>> sorted(edges) == sorted(G.edges())
True


Similarly, we can generate the complete graph on 5 points with the set of offsets [1, 2]:

>>> G = networkx.generators.classic.circulant_graph(5, [1, 2])
>>> edges = [
...     (0, 1),
...     (0, 2),
...     (0, 3),
...     (0, 4),
...     (1, 2),
...     (1, 3),
...     (1, 4),
...     (2, 3),
...     (2, 4),
...     (3, 4),
... ]
...
>>> sorted(edges) == sorted(G.edges())
True
