successors
Nodes that a given node of a digraph points to.
Category: Mathematics > Graph and Network Algorithms
Syntax
nodes = successors(D, nodeID)
Returns the nodes at the end of the edges leaving nodeID.
Description
In a dependency graph the successors of a task are those that depend on it. successors and predecessors are the two halves of neighbors for a digraph. Use outedges if you also need the edge indices.
Input arguments
D- A
digraph. nodeID- A single node, as index or name.
Output arguments
nodes- Column vector of node indices (a cell array of names for a named graph), in increasing order.
Example
Who node 1 points at
D = digraph([1 1 2 3 4], [2 3 4 4 5]);
successors(D, 1)'
successors(D, 5)'
Output
ans = 1×2
2 3
ans = 1×0 empty double row vector
