circumradius: Circumradius and Diameter of a Linear Network
Description
Compute the circumradius or diameter of a linear network
measured using the shortest path distance.
Usage
circumradius(x)
## S3 method for class 'linnet':
diameter(x)
Arguments
x
Linear network (object of class "linnet").
Value
A single numeric value.
Details
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 circumradius 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 function diameter is generic; the function
diameter.linnet is the method for objects of class linnet.
