This algorithm was discovered by Cheriyan and Mehlhorn in 1996. So the algorithm should be called Cheriyan-Mehlhorn, or perhaps Cheriyan-Mehlhorn/Gabow ?

Here is an excerpts from Gabow's home page:

Path-based depth-first search for strong and biconnected components," Information Processing Letters 74, 2000, pp.107-114. Note added May 2006: Joseph Cheriyan and Kurt Mehlhorn published this algorithm several years before: "Algorithms for Dense Graphs and Networks on the Random Access Computer", Algorithmica 15, 1996, pp.521-549 postscript The final algorithms are the same, although they do not use the path-based approach for the high-level algorithm.
