Hypergraph is a data structure library to generate directed hypergraphs.

A hypergraph is a generalization of a graph in which a hyperedge can join any number of vertices.

📣 Goal

This library aims at providing the necessary methods for modeling complex, multiway (non-pairwise) relational data found in complex networks. One of the main advantages of using a hypergraph model over a graph one is to provide a more flexible and natural framework to represent entities and their relationships (e.g. Alice uses some social network, shares some data to Bob, who shares it to Carol, etc).

🎁 Features

This library enables you to represent:

  • non-simple hypergraphs with two or more hyperedges - with different weights - containing the exact same set of vertices
  • self-loops - i.e., hyperedges containing vertices directed to themselves one or more times
  • unaries - i.e., hyperedges containing a unique vertex

⚗️ Implementation

  • 100% safe Rust
  • Proper error handling
  • Stable indexes assigned for each hyperedge and each vertex
  • Parallelism (with Rayon)

🛠️ Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml (replace current_version with the latest version of the library):

[dependencies]
hypergraph = "curent_version"

⚡️ Usage

Please read the documentation to get started.
