[Invited Talk] Graphillion: Software Library for Very Large Sets of Graphs
Takeru Inoue (JST ERATO) IN2013-43
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Several graph libraries have been developed in the past few decades,
but they were designed to work with a few graphs even though the
number of subgraphs exponentially increases with graph size. In this
paper, we develop Graphillion, a software library for very large sets
of graphs. Graphillion is not established on a traditional
representation of graphs. Instead, a graph set is simply regarded as
a ``set of edge sets'' ignoring vertices, which allows us to employ
powerful tools of a ``family of sets'' (a set of sets) and permits
large graph sets to be handled efficiently. We also utilize advanced
graph enumeration algorithms, which enables the simple family tools to
understand the graph structure. Graphillion is implemented as a Python
library to encourage easy development of its applications, without
introducing significant performance overhead. In experiments, we
consider two case studies, a puzzle solver and a power network
optimizer, in which several operations and heavy optimization have to
be done over very large sets of constrained graphs (i.e., cycles or
forests with complicated conditions). The results show that
Graphillion allows us to manage an astronomical number of graphs with
very low development effort. Graphillion is available online at
http://graphillion.org/ .
