diameter.linnet:
Diameter and Bounding Radius of a Linear Network
Description
Compute the diameter or bounding radius of a linear network
measured using the shortest path distance.
Usage
"diameter"(x)
"boundingradius"(x, ...)
Arguments
x
Linear network (object of class "linnet").
...
Ignored.
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 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.
