Class TransitiveClosure

java.lang.Object

edu.princeton.cs.algorithms.TransitiveClosure

public class TransitiveClosure
extends Object

The TransitiveClosure class represents a data type for computing the transitive closure of a digraph.

This implementation runs depth-first search from each vertex. The constructor takes time proportional to V(V + E) (in the worst case) and uses space proportional to V², where V is the number of vertices and E is the number of edges.

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

Constructor Detail

TransitiveClosure

public TransitiveClosure(Digraph G)

Computes the transitive closure of the digraph G.

Parameters:

G - the digraph

Method Detail

reachable

public boolean reachable(int v,
                int w)

Is there a directed path from vertex v to vertex w in the digraph?

Parameters:

v - the source vertex

w - the target vertex

Returns:

true if there is a directed path from v to w, false otherwise

main
