  • There is also an algorithm called SCC that computes strongly connected components in graphs, by taking the inverse of a graph and working on the transpose G^t (V, E^-1) of G. Would it help if I put the pseudocode algorithm in here? Jontce 11:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Isn't this a dictionary definition? At least, it should be linked to something else. m.e. 10:40, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Question about the algorithm

In step 1, DFS is called on a specific vertex v.

It needs to visit every vertex in the (weakly) connected component that v belongs to, to compute its finishing time.

In a directed graph, how can we choose the start node v for DFS in such a way as to visit every node in the weakly connected component of v and not add to the total complexity of the algorithm? This does not seem obvious to me. Thanks if you can explain this.

Nevermind. DSF is called on more than one starting vertices, taking care not to call it on (or revisit during a call) an already visited vertex. Perhaps we should mention that.

[edit] Algorithm

The algorithm section seems to be lifted word-for-word from CLR... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.114.158.146 (talk) 08:05, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Is the image correct?

I see that C and H are not connected, is that correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.61.23.186 (talk) 19:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
