Strongly Connected Components in Directed Graphs

Graph Connectivity Concepts A connected component in an undirected graph is a maximal subgraph where every pair of vertices is connected via a path. For directed graphs, a strongly connected component (SCC) is a maximal subgraph where every pair of vertices is mutually reachable via directed paths. SCCs are unique to directed graphs. In DFS tre ...

Identifying Edges on Shortest Paths in Directed Graphs

To determine which edges can lie on a shortest path from source S to target T in a directed graph, compute shortest distances from S to all nodes. Then, perform a reverse BFS starting from T on the transposed graph. For each dequeued node cur and its neighbor nex in the transposed graph, if Dist[nex] == Dist[cur] - weight(cur->nex) holds, th ...
