dominatorTree {RBGL} | R Documentation

## Compute dominator tree from a vertex in a directed graph

### Description

Compute dominator tree from a vertex in a directed graph

### Usage

    dominatorTree(g, start=nodes(g)[1])
    lengauerTarjanDominatorTree(g, start=nodes(g)[1])

### Arguments

`g` | a directed graph, one instance of the `graph` class
`start` | a vertex in graph `g`

### Details

As stated in documentation on Lengauer Tarjan dominator tree in Boost Graph Library:

A vertex u dominates a vertex v, if every path of directed graph from the entry to v must go through u.

This function builds the dominator tree for a directed graph.

### Value

Output is a vector, giving each node its immediate dominator.
