Class StrongConnectivityInspector<V,E>

java.lang.Object

org.jgrapht.alg.StrongConnectivityInspector<V,E>

public class StrongConnectivityInspector<V,E>
extends Object

Complements the ConnectivityInspector class with the capability to compute the strongly connected components of a directed graph. The algorithm is implemented after "Cormen et al: Introduction to agorithms", Chapter 22.5. It has a running time of O(V + E).

Unlike ConnectivityInspector, this class does not implement incremental inspection. The full algorithm is executed at the first call of stronglyConnectedSets() or isStronglyConnected().

Constructor Detail

StrongConnectivityInspector

public StrongConnectivityInspector(DirectedGraph<V,E> directedGraph)

The constructor of the StrongConnectivityInspector class.

Parameters:

directedGraph - the graph to inspect

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

Method Detail

getGraph

public DirectedGraph<V,E> getGraph()

Returns the graph inspected by the StrongConnectivityInspector.

Returns:

the graph inspected by this StrongConnectivityInspector

isStronglyConnected

public boolean isStronglyConnected()

Returns true if the graph of this StronglyConnectivityInspector instance is strongly connected.

Returns:

true if the graph is strongly connected, false otherwise

stronglyConnectedSets

public List<Set<V>> stronglyConnectedSets()

Computes a List of Sets, where each set contains vertices which together form a strongly connected component within the given graph.

Returns:

List of Set s containing the strongly connected components

stronglyConnectedSubgraphs

public List<DirectedSubgraph<V,E>> stronglyConnectedSubgraphs()

Computes a list of DirectedSubgraphs of the given graph. Each subgraph will represent a strongly connected component and will contain all vertices of that component. The subgraph will have an edge (u,v) iff u and v are contained in the strongly connected component.

NOTE: Calling this method will first execute stronglyConnectedSets(). If you don't need subgraphs, use that method.

Returns:

a list of subgraphs representing the strongly connected components
