The diameter of a linear network (in the shortest path distance)
is the maximum value of the shortest-path distance between any
two points \(u\) and \(v\) on the network.
The bounding radius of a linear network (in the shortest path distance)
is the minimum value, over all points \(u\) on the network,
of the maximum shortest-path distance from \(u\) to another point
\(v\) on the network.
The functions boundingradius
and
diameter
are generic;
the functions boundingradius.linnet
and diameter.linnet
are the methods for objects of class linnet
.
