bfs

0th

Percentile

These functions return information on graph traversal by breadth and depth first search using routines from the BOOST library.

Keywords
graphs
Usage
bfs(object, node, checkConn=TRUE)
dfs(object, node, checkConn=TRUE)
Arguments
object
instance of class graph from Bioconductor graph class
node
node name where search starts; defaults to the node in first position in the node vector.
checkConn
logical for backwards compatibility; this parameter has no effect as of RBGL 1.7.9 and will be removed in future versions.
Details

These two functions are interfaces to the BOOST graph library functions for breadth first and depth first search. Both methods handle unconnected graphs by applying the algorithms over the connected components.

Cormen et al note (p 542) that results of depth-first search may depend upon the order in which the vertices are examined ... These different visitation orders tend not to cause problems in practice, as any DFS result can usually be used effectively, with essentially equivalent results'.

Value

For bfs a vector of node indices in order of BFS visit.For dfs a list of two vectors of nodes, with elements discover (order of DFS discovery), and finish (order of DFS completion).
