Connecting Two Strongly Connected Component by a Unidirectional Edge
Two different connected components becomes a single component if a edge is added between a vertex from one component to a vertex of other component. But this is not the case in strongly connected components. Two strongly connected components doesn’t become a single strongly connected component if there is only a unidirectional edge from one SCC to other SCC.
Strongly Connected Components
Strongly Connected Components (SCCs) are a fundamental concept in graph theory and algorithms. In a directed graph, a Strongly Connected Component is a subset of vertices where every vertex in the subset is reachable from every other vertex in the same subset by traversing the directed edges. Finding the SCCs of a graph can provide important insights into the structure and connectivity of the graph, with applications in various fields such as social network analysis, web crawling, and network routing. This tutorial will explore the definition, properties, and efficient algorithms for identifying Strongly Connected Components in graph data structures
