CyclicEdge
​
CyclicEdge
[v1,v2]
represents the hyperedge
{
v1
,
v2
}
with cyclic edge symmetry, given in the edge list passed to
Hypergraph
.
​
​
CyclicEdge
[v1,v2,tag]
represents the same hyperedge, tagged with tag.
​
​
CyclicEdge
[{v1,…,vk}]
represents the k-ary hyperedge
{
v1
,…,
vk
}
with cyclic edge symmetry.
​
Details and Options
▪
CyclicEdge
is one of three heads
Hypergraph
recognizes as edge-symmetry markers in an edge specification:
DirectedEdge
gives
"Ordered"
symmetry,
UndirectedEdge
gives
"Unordered"
symmetry (the full symmetric group on the edge's vertices), and
CyclicEdge
gives
"Cyclic"
symmetry (the cyclic group generated by rotating the vertex list).
▪
The cyclic group of a k-ary edge has k elements, the identity and its k - 1 nontrivial rotations; for k = 2 this coincides with
"Unordered"
symmetry.
▪
Outside an edge specification,
CyclicEdge
carries no evaluation rules of its own and remains an unevaluated symbolic expression, the same way
DirectedEdge
and
UndirectedEdge
do.
▪
EdgeSymmetry
reports
"Cyclic"
for a hyperedge specified with
CyclicEdge
;
HyperedgeList
reconstructs it as a
Hyperedge
tagged
"Cyclic"
.

Basic Examples  
(1)
Build a hypergraph with a cyclic ternary hyperedge:
In[1]:=
hg=
Hypergraph

CyclicEdge
[{1,2,3}]
Out[1]=
Its edge symmetry is reported as
"Cyclic"
:
In[2]:=
EdgeSymmetry
[hg]
Out[2]=
{{Cycles[{}],Cycles[{{1,2,3}}],Cycles[{{1,3,2}}]}}
The full edge symmetry expands into the 3 elements of the cyclic group, the identity and the two nontrivial rotations:
In[3]:=
hg["FullEdgeSymmetry"]
Out[3]=
{{Cycles[{}],Cycles[{{1,2,3}}],Cycles[{{1,3,2}}]}}
