Method Detail

pathExistence

boolean pathExistence(Node startNode,
                      Node endNode)

Check if there exist a path between a starting node "startNode" and an ending node "endNode" on the graph under analysis.

Parameters:

startNode - The starting node.

endNode - The ending node.

Returns:

True if such a path exists.

transitiveClosureMatrix

boolean[][] transitiveClosureMatrix()

Return the transitive closure of the graph under analysis in the form of two dimensional array. The first dimension represents source node label while the second one represents sink node label. Assume i and j are labels of two nodes. The value of transitiveClosureMatrix()[i][j] is true if there is a path on the graph from "i" to "j".

Returns:

The transitive closure in the form of 2D array.
