  • 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)[reply]
  • Isn't this a dictionary definition? At least, it should be linked to something else. m.e. 10:40, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

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.
