Undirected path(s) between two nodes: Undirected path(s) between two nodes

Description

Undirected path(s) between two nodes.

Usage

undir.path(G, y, x)

Arguments

G

An adjacency matrix where G[i,j] = G[j, i] = 1 means there is an edge between nodes i and j. If G[i, j] = G[j, i] = 0 there is no edge between them.

y

A numerical value indicating the first node, it has to be a number between 1 and the maximum number of variables.

x

A numerical value indicating the second node, it has to be a number between 1 and the maximum number of variables. The order of the nodes does not make a difference.

Value

A vector with the two nodes and all nodes between them in the case of connecting nodes. Otherwise, a matrix with the neighbours of each node.

Details

The algorithm finds all the nodes between the tow nodes. It finds all paths between the two chosen nodes.
