The AdjacencyMap data type represents a graph by a map of vertices to their adjacency sets. We define a Num instance as a convenient notation for working with graphs:

0           == vertex 0
1 + 2       == overlay (vertex 1) (vertex 2)
1 * 2       == connect (vertex 1) (vertex 2)
1 + 2 * 3   == overlay (vertex 1) (connect (vertex 2) (vertex 3))
1 * (2 + 3) == connect (vertex 1) (overlay (vertex 2) (vertex 3))

Note: the Num instance does not satisfy several "customary laws" of Num , which dictate that fromInteger 0 and fromInteger 1 should act as additive and multiplicative identities, and negate as additive inverse. Nevertheless, overloading fromInteger , + and * is very convenient when working with algebraic graphs; we hope that in future Haskell's Prelude will provide a more fine-grained class hierarchy for algebraic structures, which we would be able to utilise without violating any laws.

The Show instance is defined using basic graph construction primitives:

show (empty     :: AdjacencyMap Int) == "empty"
show (1         :: AdjacencyMap Int) == "vertex 1"
show (1 + 2     :: AdjacencyMap Int) == "vertices [1,2]"
show (1 * 2     :: AdjacencyMap Int) == "edge 1 2"
show (1 * 2 * 3 :: AdjacencyMap Int) == "edges [(1,2),(1,3),(2,3)]"
show (1 * 2 + 3 :: AdjacencyMap Int) == "overlay (vertex 3) (edge 1 2)"

The Eq instance satisfies all axioms of algebraic graphs:

• overlay is commutative and associative:

        x + y == y + x
  x + (y + z) == (x + y) + z

• connect is associative and has empty as the identity:

    x * empty == x
    empty * x == x
  x * (y * z) == (x * y) * z

• connect distributes over overlay :

  x * (y + z) == x * y + x * z
  (x + y) * z == x * z + y * z

• connect can be decomposed:

  x * y * z == x * y + x * z + y * z

The following useful theorems can be proved from the above set of axioms.

• overlay has empty as the identity and is idempotent:

    x + empty == x
    empty + x == x
        x + x == x

• Absorption and saturation of connect :

  x * y + x + y == x * y
      x * x * x == x * x

When specifying the time and memory complexity of graph algorithms, n and m will denote the number of vertices and edges in the graph, respectively.

The total order on graphs is defined using size-lexicographic comparison:

• Compare the number of vertices. In case of a tie, continue.
• Compare the sets of vertices. In case of a tie, continue.
• Compare the number of edges. In case of a tie, continue.
• Compare the sets of edges.

Here are a few examples:

vertex 1 < vertex 2
vertex 3 < edge 1 2
vertex 1 < edge 1 1
edge 1 1 < edge 1 2
edge 1 2 < edge 1 1 + edge 2 2
edge 1 2 < edge 1 3

Note that the resulting order refines the isSubgraphOf relation and is compatible with overlay and connect operations:

isSubgraphOf x y ==> x <= y

empty <= x
x     <= x + y
x + y <= x * y
