Method Detail

cycle

java.util.List cycle()

Return the nodes on the cycle that corresponds to the maximum/minimum cycle mean as an ordered list. If there is more than one cycle with the same maximal/minimal cycle, one of them is returned randomly, but the same cycle is returned by different invocations of the method, unless the graph changes.

Returns:

The nodes on the cycle that corresponds to one of the maximum/minimum cycle means as an ordered list.

maximumCycleMean

double maximumCycleMean()

Return the maximum cycle mean for a given directed graph.

Returns:

The maximum cycle mean value.

minimumCycleMean

double minimumCycleMean()

Return minimum cycle mean for a given directed graph.

Returns:

The minimum cycle mean value.
