For Strongly Connected Components?

In the mathematical theory of directed graphs, a graph is said to be strongly connected if every vertex is reachable from every other vertex. The strongly connected components of an arbitrary directed graph form a partition into subgraphs that are themselves strongly connected.

What is meant by a strongly connected component?

Strongly Connected Components. Definition A strongly connected component of a directed graph G is a maximal set of vertices C ⊆ V such that for every pair of vertices u and v, there is a directed path from u to v and a directed path from v to u.

Which algorithm is used for strongly connected components?

We can find all strongly connected components in O(V+E) time using Kosaraju's algorithm. Following is detailed Kosaraju's algorithm. 1) Create an empty stack 'S' and do DFS traversal of a graph. In DFS traversal, after calling recursive DFS for adjacent vertices of a vertex, push the vertex to stack.
