shave_cycle {gor}

Shaving a hairy cycle

Description

Removing dangling vertices of a cycle obtained by adding a single edge to a spanning tree.

Usage

shave_cycle(v, eG)

Arguments

v

Edge vector of the hairy cycle

eG

Graph given as edgelist, see as_edgelist

Details

When generating a fundamental cycle in a graph, addition of a single edge to a spanning tree gives a "hairy" cycle, that is, a single cycle with some dangling branches of the tree. This routine removes iteratively all leaves from this "hairy" tree until only a 2-regular, connected cycle remains, which is a fundamental cycle of the graph with respect the given spanning tree.

Value

Edge vector of the shaven cycle, to be interpreted with respect to the edgelist eG.
