Write an algorithm to determine if the directed graph is strongly connected or not

Expert Solution

Answer) Checking if a graph is strongly connected using Kosaraju’s DFS based simple algorithm that does two DFS traversals of graph:

1) Initialize all vertices as they are not visited.

2) Do the DFS traversal of the graph starting from any arbitrary vertex v. If the DFS traversal does not visit all the vertices then return false.

3) Reverse all arcs (or find transpose).

4) Mark all vertices as not-visited in the reversed graph.

5) Do a DFS traversal of the reversed graph starting from same vertex v (Same as step 2). If the DFS traversal does not visit all the vertices then return false. Otherwise, return true.

The idea is that if every node can be reached from vertex v, and every node can reach v, then the graph is strongly connected. In step 2, we check if all vertices are reachable from v. In the step 4, we check if all vertices can reach v (In the reversed graph, if all vertices are reachable from v, then all vertices can reach v in the original graph).

# Problem Description Given a directed graph G = (V, E), find the number of connected components in G. # Input The graph has `n` vertices and `m` edges. There are m + 1 lines, the first line gives two numbers `n` and `m`, describing the number of vertices and edges. Each of the following lines contains two numbers `a` and `b` meaning there is an edge (a,b) belong to E. All the numbers in a line are separated by...

Suppose T is a minimal spanning tree found by Prim’s algorithm in a connected graph G. (i) Show that either T contains the n-1 smallest edges, or the n-1 smallest edges form a subgraph which contains a cycle. (ii) Show that if an edge (a, b) is not in T and if P is the unique path in T from a to b, then for each edge e in P the weight of e is less than the weight of...

A DAG is a directed graph that contains no directed cycles. Define G = (V, E) in which V is the set of all nodes as {v1, v2, ..., vi , ...vn} and E is the set of edges E = {ei,j = (vi , vj ) | vi , vj ∈ V} . A topological order of a directed graph G = (V, E) is an ordering of its nodes as {v1, v2, ..., vi , ...vn} so that...

Write an algorithm to determine if two binary trees are identical when the ordering of the subtrees for a node is ignored. For example, if a tree has root node with value R, left child with value A and right child with value B, this would be considered identical to another tree with root node value R, left child value B, and right child value A. Make the algorithm as efficient as you can. Analyze your algorithm’s running time. How...

Assume the input graph is directed but may or may not have cycle in it, that is, may or may not be a directed acyclic graph. Consider the recursive topological sorting algorithm shown below. TopologicalSort(G) { If G has only one node v then return v. Find a node v with no incoming edge and remove v from G. Return v followed by the order returned by TopologicalSort(G). } (a) Extend the recursive algorithm shown below so it can detect...

Is it always possible to make an undirected graph with two connected components connected by adding a single edge? • Why or why not? (Proof or counter example) [if true, give a proof, if false, give counter example] • Does the same hold true for directed graphs (and strongly connected components rather than connected components)? (Proof or counter example) [if true, give a proof, if false, give counter example]
