Description

I'd like to add the following graph property recognition algorithms to Graphs.jl:

All of these are algorithms implemented in SageMath that I regularly use in my research, and which I typically have to reimplement from scratch or use my own FFI with sage to access from Julia. Given that Graphs.jl already includes functions such as is_bipartite, is_cyclic, is_strongly_connected, etc., I think (at least some of) these algorithms would be well-suited for inclusion.

Should the maintainers deem these additions appropriate, I believe each item listed above merits its own separate PR to avoid overloading any single review.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reading the existing Graphs.jl predicates such as is_bipartite, is_cyclic, and is_strongly_connected, then consult the cited papers and corresponding SageMath implementations. Treat each requested predicate as a separate PR; done means one selected algorithm is included in Graphs.jl with behavior matching its specification.
