Class KosarajuSharirSCC

java.lang.Object

edu.princeton.cs.algorithms.KosarajuSharirSCC

public class KosarajuSharirSCC
extends Object

The KosarajuSharirSCC class represents a data type for determining the strong components in a digraph. The id operation determines in which strong component a given vertex lies; the areStronglyConnected operation determines whether two vertices are in the same strong component; and the count operation determines the number of strong components. The component identifier of a component is one of the vertices in the strong component: two vertices have the same component identifier if and only if they are in the same strong component.

This implementation uses the Kosaraju-Sharir algorithm. The constructor takes time proportional to V + E (in the worst case), where V is the number of vertices and E is the number of edges. Afterwards, the id, count, and areStronglyConnected operations take constant time. For alternate implementations of the same API, see TarjanSCC and GabowSCC.

For additional documentation, see Section 4.2 of Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
