pymnet.elementary_cycles

pymnet.elementary_cycles(net, node=None, layer=None, anet=None)

Returns the elementary 3-cycle counts in a multiplex network.

Parameters:
netMultiplexNetwork with aspects=1

The input network.

nodeany object

The focal node. Given as node index in the network.

layerany object

The focal layer. Given as layer index in the network.

Returns:
cyclestuple

Returns the elementary cycles around the node-layer pair in the following order: aaa,aacac,acaac,acaca,acacac,afa,afcac,acfac,acfca,acfcac
