igraph's Gomory–Hu tree not working?

Question

When I try the following with python-igraph:

from igraph import *

g= Graph()

g.add_vertices(3)

g.vs[\"name\"] = [\"0\", \"1\", \"3\"]

g.add_edge         


        

Answer 1

The algorithm is working fine. The minimum cost to disconnect any two nodes is 10.0. All trees which are subgraphs of this graph are valid Gomory-Hu trees. In fact, this is the case for any K3 which has two edges of identical weight and a third of less weight.

Consider the brute-force approach. Since the minimum cost to disconnect any two nodes is 10.0, the complete minimum cut graph is the three nodes connected with edges of weight 10.0. By symmetry, this graph has three equally valid Gomory-Hu trees consisting of any two of the edges of the complete minimum cut graph.

So 0--1--3, 1--3--0, and 3--0--1 are all acceptable Gomory-Hu trees of the graph above.

In fact, for any graph of n nodes which has a complete minimum cut graph with all edges equal, the Gomory-Hu tree is any tree which connects every node.
