Description

Given a directed graph, getMinCostArcs selects the minimum cost arcs entering each node and removes the others.

Usage

getMinCostArcs(nodes, arcs)

Arguments

nodes
vector containing the nodes of the graph, identified by a number that goes from $1$ to the order of the graph.
arcs
matrix with the list of arcs of the graph. Each row represents one arc. The first two columns contain the two endpoints of each arc and the third column contains their weights.

Value
