Abstract
We survey three algorithms that use depth-first search to find the strong components of a directed graph in linear time: (1) Tarjan’s algorithm; (2) a cycle-finding algorithm; and (3) a bidirectional search algorithm.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Combinatorics is a high standard, international, bimonthly journal of pure mathematics, specializing in theories arising from combinatorial problems. The journal is primarily open to papers dealing with mathematical structures within combinatorics and/or establishing direct links between combinatorics and other branches of mathematics and the theories of computing. The journal includes full-length research papers on important topics.
