有向图的数据结构,允许快速删除节点?
我需要存储有向图(不一定是非循环的),以便节点删除尽可能快。我不介意存储额外的数据,以便准确地知道删除节点时必须删除哪些边。
如果我存储一个边列表(作为节点索引对),那么当杀死某个节点 n 时,我必须在整个列表中搜索源或目标为 n 的边。这对于我的应用来说成本太高了。是否可以通过在节点中存储一些附加数据来避免这种搜索?
一种想法是让每个节点将其自己的源和目标存储为两个单独的列表。当节点 n 被杀死时,它的列表也被杀死。但是,链接到节点 n 的所有目标/源如何知道更新它们自己的列表(即,从它们的列表中消除失效的节点)?这将需要一些昂贵的搜索......
可以避免吗?
谢谢。
I need to store a directed graph (not necessarily acyclic), so that node deletion is as fast as possible. I wouldn't mind storing additional data in order to know exactly which edges have to go when a node is deleted.
If I store a list of edges (as pairs of node indexes), then when killing some node n I have to search the whole list for edges whose source or target is n. This is too costly for my application. Can this search be avoided by storing some additional data in the nodes?
One idea would be to have each node store its own sources and targets, as two separate lists. When node n is killed, its lists are killed too. But then, how would all the targets/sources linked to node n know to update their own lists (i.e., to eliminate the defunct node from their lists)? This would require some costly searching...
Can it be avoided?
Thx.

您有两个选择,但不会太花哨:邻接列表和邻接矩阵。前者可能最适合您正在做的事情。要删除节点,只需删除该节点的列表中的所有出边即可。对于入边,您可以考虑为每个列表保留一个哈希表以进行 O(1) 查找。
这是一个很好的概述

You have two choices without getting too fancy are Adjacency List and Adjacency Matrix. The former is probably best for what you're doing. To remove a node, simply eliminate the list for that node for all of its out edges. For the in-edges, you might consider keeping a hash-table for each list for O(1) lookups.

我解决了!这是无向图的解决方案,之后添加方向很容易。
在每个顶点中我保留一个特殊的邻接列表。它是一个列表(双链接,以便于插入/删除),其元素是“槽”:
因此基本上每条边都由两个槽表示,彼此交叉。每个顶点都有一个此类插槽的列表。
当一个顶点被杀死时,它会在其槽列表中递归地发送“杀死”信号。每个槽通过销毁其 other_end 来响应(它慷慨地从邻居列表中弹出,修复后面的上一个/下一个指针)。
这样,无需任何搜索即可删除顶点及其所有边。我必须付出的代价是内存:我必须保留 4 个指针(prev、next、vertex 和 other_end),而不是 3 个指针(常规双链接邻接表的 prev、next 和 vertex)。
这是基本思想。对于有向图,我只需要以某种方式区分 IN 槽和 OUT 槽。可能通过将每个顶点的邻接列表划分为两个单独的列表:IN_slot_list 和 OUT_slot_list。
I solved it! This is the solution for undirected graphs, adding direction is easy afterwards.
In each vertex I keep a special adjacency list. It is a list (double linked, for easy insertion/deletion) whose elements are "slots":
So basically each edge is represented by two slots, cross-pointing one to each other. And each vertex has a list of such slots.
When a vertex is killed, it sends recursively a "kill" signal up its slot list. Each slot responds by destroying its other_end (which graciously pops out from the neighbor's list, mending the prev/next pointers behind).
This way a vertex plus all its edges are deleted without any searching. The price I have to pay is memory: instead of 3 pointers (prev, next and vertex for a regular double linked adjacency list), I have to keep 4 pointers (prev, next, vertex and other_end).
This is the basic idea. For directed graphs, I only have to distinguish somehow between IN slots and OUT slots. Probably by dividing each vertex's adjacency list in two separate lists: IN_slot_list and OUT_slot_list.
