transitiveOrientation -- generates a poset whose comparability graph is the given graph

Synopsis

• Usage:

  P = transitiveOrientation G

• Inputs:
  • G, a graph,
• Optional inputs:
  • Random => a Boolean value, default value false, whether to randomise the edges first
  • Strategy => a string, default value "error", whether to throw an error ('error') if the graph has no transitive orientation or to return a null ('null')
• Outputs:
  • P, an instance of the type Poset, such that comparabilityGraph $P$ is isomorphic to $G$

Description

i1 : G = graph {{1,2}, {2,3}, {3,4}, {1,4}};

i2 : transitiveOrientation G

                      | 0 1 1 1 |

o2 : Poset
