"""Returns the flow hierarchy of a directed network.
|
|
|
|
Flow hierarchy is defined as the fraction of edges not participating
|
|
in cycles in a directed graph [1]_.
|
|
|
|
Parameters
|
|
----------
|
|
G : DiGraph or MultiDiGraph
|
|
A directed graph
|
|
|
|
weight : string, optional (default=None)
|
|
Attribute to use for edge weights. If None the weight defaults to 1.
|
|
|
|
Returns
|
|
-------
|
|
h : float
|
|
Flow hierarchy value
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
The algorithm described in [1]_ computes the flow hierarchy through
|
|
exponentiation of the adjacency matrix. This function implements an
|
|
alternative approach that finds strongly connected components.
|
|
An edge is in a cycle if and only if it is in a strongly connected
|
|
component, which can be found in $O(m)$ time using Tarjan's algorithm.
