Fundamental cycles
Finds the list of fundamental cycles of a connected undirected graph.
fundCycles(amat)
amat |
a symmetric matrix with dimnames denoting the adjacency matrix of the undirected graph. The graph must be connected, otherwise the function returns an error message. |
All the cycles in an UG can be obtained from combination (ring sum) of the set of fundamental cycles.
a list of matrices with two columns. Every component of the list
is associated to a cycle. The cycle is described by a
k \times 2 matrix whose rows are the edges of the cycle. If
there is no cycle the function returns NULL
.
This function is used by cycleMatrix
and isGident
.
