bfs_step

std.linalg.bfs_step · Level L2

One layer of breadth-first search on a 0/1 matrix of open edges: every unvisited vertex with an edge from a visited one is visited, with the smallest such vertex as its parent. The body residual_bfs scans; it does not read its sequence element.

new = unvisited ∩ out(visited); parent(v) = min{u visited : open(u, v)}

Signature

bfs_step(visited: f64[n], parent: f64[n], t: f64[], open: f64[n, n]) → f64[n], f64[n]

Structure

The function as NOVA stores it: one box per input, operation and output, and arrows that carry values. A double border marks another library function this one runs — called once, or by Scan once per element; select it to open that function.

Verification

  • Signature proven by NOVA’s shape solver, for every size.
  • Equal to the reference for each unvisited v: the smallest visited u with an open edge to v in exact rational arithmetic, on all 40 test cases.
  • All 256 float64 results are exact: the error is zero.
  • Interpreter and NumPy backend return bit-identical results.
  • At float32 too: the 40 test cases rounded to float32, and 40 of them exact, with zero error.

The semantic hash of the graph. It changes when the program changes, and never when only its documentation does.

Needs
no capability: a pure function

Through NOVA’s control layer, the symbol launches this function only while the program still matches what it pins: a change to this graph, or to any graph it reaches, needs a migration first.
