STRONGLY_CONNECTED

True if the graph is strongly connected

Type:
Example:

The following checks a graph for strong connectivity. First we construct a graph with 4 nodes consisting of two directed circles, which are connected by a single directed edge. We then and check the property:

 > $g = new Graph<Directed>(ADJACENCY=>[[1],[0,2],[3],[2]]);
 > print $g->STRONGLY_CONNECTED;
 false

 true

Type:
Example:

The following checks a graph for weak connectivity. First we construct a graph with 4 nodes consisting of two directed circles, which are connected by a single directed edge. We then check the property:

 > print $g->WEAKLY_CONNECTED_COMPONENTS;
 {0 1}
