attracting_components

attracting_components(G)

Generates a list of attracting components in \(G\).

An attracting component in a directed graph \(G\) is a strongly connected component with the property that a random walker on the graph will never leave the component, once it enters the component.

The nodes in attracting components can also be thought of as recurrent nodes. If a random walker enters the attractor containing the node, then the node will be visited infinitely often.

Parameters:G (DiGraph, MultiDiGraph) – The graph to be analyzed. Returns:attractors – A generator of sets of nodes, one for each attracting component of G. Return type:generator of sets
