Bridge Edges — network_bridges • cograph

Finds edges whose removal would disconnect the network. These are critical edges for network connectivity.

Usage

network_bridges(x, count_only = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x: Network input: matrix, igraph, network, cograph_network, or tna object
count_only: Logical. If TRUE, return only the count. Default FALSE.
...: Passed to to_igraph, whose only other argument is directed; anything else raises an "unused argument" error.

Value

If count_only = FALSE, a data frame with one row per bridge and columns from and to (node names, or integer indices when the graph has no names). If count_only = TRUE, an integer count.

Examples

strong <- filter_edges(regulation_net, weight > 0.3, keep_isolates = FALSE)
network_bridges(strong)
