function [groups, isolated] = find_islands(mpc)
%FIND_ISLANDS  Finds islands in a network
%   GROUPS = FIND_ISLANDS(MPC)
%   [GROUPS, ISOLATED] = FIND_ISLANDS(MPC)
%
%   Returns the islands in a network. The return value GROUPS
%   is a cell array of vectors of the bus indices for each island.
%   The second and optional return value ISOLATED is a vector of
%   indices of isolated buses that have no connecting branches.
%
%   See also EXTRACT_ISLANDS, CONNECTED_COMPONENTS.
