%function [path_lengths, lengths_to_self] = pathlength(M,path_length_max)
%
% Calculates the path lengths between the nodes of the network
%
% Input:
% M - N x N connectivity matrix
% path_length_max - the maximum considered path length (20 is an ad hoc
% limit that should be enough for connectivities p larger than 0.1)
%
% Output:
% path_lengths - a 1 x path_length_max vector indicating the number of
% paths of length 1...path_length_max
% lengths_to_self - a 1 x path_length_max vector indicating the number of
% paths to self of length 1...path_length_max
