Class CycleMeanAnalysis


  • public class CycleMeanAnalysis
    extends Analysis
    An analysis to calculate the maximum/minimum cycle mean of a directed cyclic graph.

    The analyzer associated to this analysis, adds up the cost of the edges on different cycles and divides it by the number of edges in that cycle, then picks the maximum/minimum of them.

    Strongly connected components are being processed separately, and the cycle mean has the maximum/minimum value among them. When there are multiple edges between two nodes, the edge with the maximum/minimum weight is considered for the cycle that gives the maximum/minimum cycle mean.

    Note that the mathematical definition of maximum cycle mean and maximum profit to cost are different, though some time the name "maximum cycle mean" is used to refer to the maximum profit to cost ratio.

    For a detailed mathematical description of the problem, refer to:

      • cycle

        public java.util.List cycle()
        Return the nodes on the cycle that corresponds to the maximum/minimum cycle mean as an ordered list. If there is more than one cycle with the same maximal/minimal cycle mean, one of them is returned randomly, but the same cycle is returned by different invocations of the method, unless the graph changes.
        Returns:
        The nodes on the cycle that corresponds to one of the maximum/minimum cycle means as an ordered list.
      • maximumCycleMean

        public double maximumCycleMean()
        Return the maximum cycle mean value.
        Returns:
        The maximum cycle mean value.
      • minimumCycleMean

        public double minimumCycleMean()
        Return minimum cycle mean value.
        Returns:
        The minimum cycle mean value.
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Return a description of the analysis and the associated analyzer.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Analysis
        Returns:
        A description of the analysis and the associated analyzer.
      • validAnalyzerInterface

        public boolean validAnalyzerInterface​(Analyzer analyzer)
        Check if a given analyzer is compatible with this analysis. In other words if it is possible to use it to compute the computation associated with this analysis.
        Overrides:
        validAnalyzerInterface in class Analysis
        Parameters:
        analyzer - The given analyzer.
        Returns:
        True if the given analyzer is valid for this analysis.
