Purpose

Given two directed graphs π™Ώπ™°πšƒπšƒπ™΄πšπ™½ and πšƒπ™°πšπ™Άπ™΄πšƒ enforce a one to one correspondence, defined by the function π™΅πš„π™½π™²πšƒπ™Έπ™Ύπ™½, between the vertices of the graph π™Ώπ™°πšƒπšƒπ™΄πšπ™½ and the vertices of an induced subgraph of πšƒπ™°πšπ™Άπ™΄πšƒ so that, if there is an arc from u to v in the graph π™Ώπ™°πšƒπšƒπ™΄πšπ™½, then there is also an arc from the image of u to the image of v in the induced subgraph of πšƒπ™°πšπ™Άπ™΄πšƒ. The vertices of both graphs are respectively defined by the two collections of vertices π™½π™Ύπ™³π™΄πš‚_π™Ώπ™°πšƒπšƒπ™΄πšπ™½ and π™½π™Ύπ™³π™΄πš‚_πšƒπ™°πšπ™Άπ™΄πšƒ. Within collection π™½π™Ύπ™³π™΄πš‚_π™Ώπ™°πšƒπšƒπ™΄πšπ™½ the set of successors of each node is fixed, while this is not the case for the collection π™½π™Ύπ™³π™΄πš‚_πšƒπ™°πšπ™Άπ™΄πšƒ. This stems from the fact that the πšƒπ™°πšπ™Άπ™΄πšƒ graph is not fixed (i.e.,Β the lower and upper bounds of the target graph are specified when we post the πšœπšžπš‹πšπš›πšŠπš™πš‘_πš’πšœπš˜πš–πš˜πš›πš™πš‘πš’πšœπš– constraint, while the induced subgraph of a solution to the πšœπšžπš‹πšπš›πšŠπš™πš‘_πš’πšœπš˜πš–πš˜πš›πš™πš‘πš’πšœπš– constraint corresponds to a graph for which the upper and lower bounds are identical).

FigureΒ 5.382.1 gives the pattern (see PartΒ (A)) and target graph (see PartΒ (B)) of the Example slot as well as the one to one correspondence (see PartΒ (C)) between the pattern graph and the induced subgraph of the target graph. The πšœπšžπš‹πšπš›πšŠπš™πš‘_πš’πšœπš˜πš–πš˜πš›πš™πš‘πš’πšœπš– constraint since:

  • To the arc from vertex 1 to vertex 4 in the pattern graph corresponds the arc from vertex 4 to 5 in the induced subgraph of the target graph.

  • To the arc from vertex 1 to vertex 2 in the pattern graph corresponds the arc from vertex 4 to 2 in the induced subgraph of the target graph.

  • To the arc from vertex 2 to vertex 1 in the pattern graph corresponds the arc from vertex 2 to 4 in the induced subgraph of the target graph.

  • To the arc from vertex 2 to vertex 4 in the pattern graph corresponds the arc from vertex 2 to 5 in the induced subgraph of the target graph.

  • To the arc from vertex 2 to vertex 3 in the pattern graph corresponds the arc from vertex 2 to 3 in the induced subgraph of the target graph.

Figure 5.382.1. Illustration of the Example slot: (A)Β The pattern graph, (B)Β a possible initial target graph – plain arcs must belong to the induced subgraph, while dotted arcs may or may not belong to the induced subgraph – and (C)Β the correspondence, denoted by thick dashed arcs, between the vertices of the pattern graph and the vertices of the induced subgraph of the target graph. Within a set variable a bold value (respectively a plain value) represents a value that for sure belong (respectively that may belong) to the set.
