minabc

minabc is a software library designed for computing minimal acyclic beatles cliques in graphs. It is written in C++ and provides an efficient implementation of algorithms for finding these specific substructures. The library is primarily aimed at researchers and practitioners in graph theory, computer science, and related fields who require tools for analyzing graph properties.

The core functionality of minabc revolves around the identification of minimal acyclic beatles cliques. A beatles clique is a set of vertices in a graph where every pair of vertices in the set is connected by an edge, and the subgraph induced by these vertices is acyclic. The "minimal" aspect refers to the smallest such sets that satisfy the criteria. The library's algorithms are designed to handle large graphs and offer performance optimizations.

minabc is often used in applications such as network analysis, bioinformatics, and data mining, where understanding the cyclic and acyclic structures within complex relationships is crucial. The library's focus on a specific type of graph substructure makes it a specialized tool, offering a targeted solution for problems that can be modeled using beatles cliques. Its open-source nature allows for community contributions and further development.
