Graphs.transitiveclosureFunction
transitiveclosure(g, selflooped=false)

Compute the transitive closure of a directed graph, using DFS. Return a graph representing the transitive closure. If selflooped is true, add self loops to the graph.

Performance

Time complexity is $\mathcal{O}(|E||V|)$.

Examples

julia> using Graphs

julia> barbell = blockdiag(complete_digraph(3), complete_digraph(3));

julia> add_edge!(barbell, 1, 4);

julia> ne(barbell)
13

julia> ne(transitiveclosure(barbell))
21

Graphs.transitiveclosure!Function
transitiveclosure!(g, selflooped=false)

Compute the transitive closure of a directed graph, using DFS. If selflooped is true, add self loops to the graph.

Performance

Time complexity is $\mathcal{O}(|E||V|)$.

Implementation Notes

This version of the function modifies the original graph.

source
Graphs.transitivereductionFunction
transitivereduction(g; selflooped=false)

Compute the transitive reduction of a directed graph. If the graph contains cycles, each strongly connected component is replaced by a directed cycle and the transitive reduction is calculated on the condensation graph connecting the components. If selflooped is true, self loops on strongly connected components of size one will be preserved.

Performance

Time complexity is $\mathcal{O}(|V||E|)$.
