connected_neighbors: Find the connected sets for a location and its \(k\) nearest neighbors.

Description

Returns a set of sets, each set of the latter type containing the location itself and zero or more of its neighbors, if they are connected.

Usage

connected_neighbors(neighbors, adjacency_matrix)

Arguments

neighbors

A vector of neighbors to a location, the first element of the vector being the specific location, and the other elements its other nearest neighbors. Locations should be encoded as integers.

adjacency_matrix

A boolean matrix, with element \((i,j)\) set to TRUE if location \(j\) is adjacent to location \(i\).

Value

Returns a set of sets, each set of the latter type containing the location itself and zero or more of its neighbors, if they are connected.
