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]= | ![]() |
