get_min_cut_between: Get the minimum cut between source and sink nodes

Description

Get the minimum cut between source and sink nodes. This is the minimum total capacity of edges needed for removal in order to eliminate all paths from the source and sink nodes.

Usage

get_min_cut_between(graph, from, to)

Value

A single numeric value representing the minimum total edge capacity removed to disconnect the source and sink nodes.

Arguments

graph

A graph object of class dgr_graph.

from

The node ID for the source node.

to

The node ID for the sink or target node.

# Set a seed

set.seed(23)

# Create a cycle graph
graph <-
  create_graph() %>%
  add_cycle(n = 5)

# Determine the minimum cut
# between nodes `1` and `4`
graph %>%
  get_min_cut_between(
    from = 1,
    to = 2)

# Create a cycle graph with
# randomized values given to all
# edges as the `capacity` attribute

# set as an edge attribute

    to = 2)
