Further to my previous e-mail, this is how I found the number of triangles:

conn <- array (dim = c(vcount(el.13), vcount(el.13), vcount(el.13)))

for (i in 1:length(Successor)){
  for (j in 1:length(Successor[[i]])) {
    for (k in (j+1):(length(Successor[[i]]))){
conn[i,j,(k-1)] <- ifelse(length(Successor[[i]]) < 2, NA,
ifelse(k > length(Successor[[i]]), NA,
       ifelse(V(el.13)[Successor[[i]][j]]==V(el.13)[Successor[[i]][k]],NA,

  are.connected(el.13, V(el.13)[Successor[[i]][j]],
V(el.13)[Successor[[i]][k]]))))

}}}

So transitivity, as defined previously would be:

trans <- sum(conn, na.rm = T)/triplets

Could someone more experienced tell me if this is ok and the reason of the
differences with triad.census in the number of triplets of the form B <- A
-> C ???

Thanks!
