loop.forward: forward method to decompose the weighted graph into single...

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

At each step, only choose the first one of all candidate nodes when finding next node in the process of making a single connected graph. This is an internal function.

Usage

loop.forward(gemat)

Arguments

gemat

square graph matrix form
