pymnet.get_isomorphism¶
-
pymnet.get_isomorphism(net1, net2, allowed_aspects='all', include_fixed=False, backend='auto')¶ Returns an isomorphism betwee net1 and net2 if possible.
- Parameters
- net1MultilayerNetwork
The first multilayer network.
- net2MultilayerNetwork
The second multilayer network.
- allowed_aspectslist of ints, string
The aspects that can be permuted in this isomorphism type. Nodes are in aspect 0 by convention. Value “all” will allow all permutations, i.e., it gives the (nonpartial) node-layer isomorphism.
- include_fixedbool
If True the elementary layer permutations include elements that remain unchanged.
- backendstring
The program to be used for solving the graph isomorphism of the auxiliary graphs. Value “auto” will select the best available candidate. For a list of backends, see documentation of the package.
- Returns
- automorphism_generatorslists of dicts, None
A permutation of the first multilayer network that gives the second network. A permutation of a multilayer network is a list of permutations, one for each aspect. Permutation for an aspect is a dictionary where each key is mapped to the value. If include_fixed is not set true, the dictionaries do not contain elementary layers that would be mapped to themselves. If the two networks are not isomorphic, None is returned instead.
