Create a grid graph in the shape of a Klein bottle
ResourceFunction["KleinBottleGraph"][{a,b}] gives an a×b grid connected as a Graph that corresponds to the 1-skeleton of the Klein bottle. | |
ResourceFunction["KleinBottleGraph"][{a,b,n1,…,nk}] gives a graph corresponding to the product of the Klein bottle and a k-torus. |
Make a 3×3 Klein bottle graph:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= | ![]() |
Compare to a torus graph:
| In[2]:= |
| Out[2]= | ![]() |
Make a 10×20 Klein bottle graph:
| In[3]:= |
| Out[3]= | ![]() |
Compare to a torus graph:
| In[4]:= |
| Out[4]= | ![]() |
The Klein bottle is a torus with a "twist":
| In[5]:= |
| Out[5]= | ![]() |
Compare to a torus graph:
| In[6]:= |
| Out[6]= | ![]() |
Make a 10×15×5 Klein bottle graph:
| In[7]:= |
| Out[7]= | ![]() |
Define a torus graph and Klein bottle graph:
| In[8]:= | ![]() |
Much like the torus, cutting the Klein bottle in one direction yields a cylinder:
| In[9]:= |
| Out[9]= | ![]() |
| In[10]:= |
| Out[10]= | ![]() |
However, cutting the Klein bottle in the other direction yields a Möbius strip:
| In[11]:= |
| Out[11]= | ![]() |
The torus still produces a cylinder:
| In[12]:= |
| Out[12]= | ![]() |
In one dimension, KleinBottleGraph is equivalent to TorusGraph:
| In[13]:= |
| Out[13]= | ![]() |
| In[14]:= |
| Out[14]= |
Compute the volumes of neighborhoods around a node in the Klein bottle graph:
| In[15]:= | ![]() |
| Out[15]= |
Estimate the dimension of the Klein bottle from its graph:
| In[16]:= |
| Out[16]= | ![]() |
This yields the same estimate as the torus:
| In[17]:= |
| Out[17]= |
| In[18]:= |
| Out[18]= | ![]() |
Perform a three-way comparison between grid graphs, toroidal grid graphs and Klein bottle graphs:
| In[19]:= |
| Out[19]= | ![]() |
| In[20]:= |
| Out[20]= | ![]() |
| In[21]:= |
| Out[21]= | ![]() |
Show how a ball of radius r grows in the graph when represented as a flat grid (the red edge indicates where the "twist" occurs):
| In[22]:= | ![]() |
| Out[22]= | ![]() |
Visualize the 3D case:
| In[23]:= | ![]() |
| Out[23]= | ![]() |
