fundCycles: Fundamental cycles

Description

Finds the list of fundamental cycles of a connected undirected graph.

Usage

fundCycles(amat)

Value

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.

Arguments

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.

Author

Giovanni M. Marchetti

Details

All the cycles in an UG can be obtained from combination (ring sum) of the set of fundamental cycles.
