Check if the given graph represents a Ring Topology

Last Updated : 13 Sep, 2022

Given a graph G, the task is to check if it represents a Ring Topology.
A Ring Topology is the one shown in the image below:

Examples:

Input :  Graph =

Output : YES

Input : Graph =

Output : NO

A graph of V vertices represents a Ring topology if it satisfies the following three conditions:

Number of vertices >= 3.
All vertices should have degree 2.
No of edges = No of Vertices.

The idea is to traverse the graph and check if it satisfies the above three conditions. If yes, then it represents a Ring Topology otherwise not.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to check if the given graph
// represents a Ring topology

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// A utility function to add an edge in an
// undirected graph.
void addEdge(vector<int> adj[], int u, int v)
{
    adj[u].push_back(v);
    adj[v].push_back(u);
}

// A utility function to print the adjacency list
// representation of graph
void printGraph(vector<int> adj[], int V)
{
    for (int v = 0; v < V; ++v) {
        cout << "\n Adjacency list of vertex "
             << v << "\n head ";
        for (auto x : adj[v])
            cout << "-> " << x;
        printf("\n");
    }
}

/* Function to return true if the graph represented 
   by the adjacency list represents a Ring topology 
   else return false */
bool checkRingTopologyUtil(vector<int> adj[], int V, int E)
{
    // Number of edges should be equal
    // to Number of vertices
    if (E != V)
        return false;

    // For a graph to represent a ring topology should have
    // greater than 2 nodes
    if (V <= 2)
        return false;

    int* vertexDegree = new int[V + 1];
    memset(vertexDegree, 0, sizeof vertexDegree);

    // calculate the degree of each vertex
    for (int i = 1; i <= V; i++) {
        for (auto v : adj[i]) {
            vertexDegree[v]++;
        }
    }

    // countDegree2 stores the count of
    // the vertices having degree 2
    int countDegree2 = 0;

    for (int i = 1; i <= V; i++) {
        if (vertexDegree[i] == 2) {
            countDegree2++;
        }
    }

    // if all three necessary conditions as discussed,
    // satisfy return true
    if (countDegree2 == V) {
        return true;
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }
}

// Function to check if the graph represents a Ring topology
void checkRingTopology(vector<int> adj[], int V, int E)
{
    bool isRing = checkRingTopologyUtil(adj, V, E);
    if (isRing) {
        cout << "YES" << endl;
    }
    else {
        cout << "NO" << endl;
    }
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    // Graph 1
    int V = 6, E = 6;
    vector<int> adj1[V + 1];
    addEdge(adj1, 1, 2);
    addEdge(adj1, 2, 3);
    addEdge(adj1, 3, 4);
    addEdge(adj1, 4, 5);
    addEdge(adj1, 6, 1);
    addEdge(adj1, 5, 6);
    checkRingTopology(adj1, V, E);

    // Graph 2
    V = 5, E = 4;
    vector<int> adj2[V + 1];
    addEdge(adj2, 1, 2);
    addEdge(adj2, 1, 3);

    checkRingTopology(adj2, V, E);
