lclw: find the largest weight food chain among the candidate...

In loop: loop decomposition of weighted directed graphs for life cycle analysis, providing flexbile network plotting methods, and analyzing food chain properties in ecology

Description

Sometimes for a given species, it has many food chains that are equal in chain lengths and all are longest. This function thus will find out the one with largest weight.

Usage

lclw(gemat, sp)

Arguments

gemat	standard square graph matrix
sp	the node/species you want to search

Value

return the pathways and corresponding weights in a list
