Abstract

Most algorithms on graphs require a systematic method of visiting the vertices of a graph. Two basic and common methods of exploring a graph are the generalization to graphs of the preorder traversal and the top-down traversal of trees.

A good idea has a way of becoming simpler and solving problems other than that for which it was intended.

—Robert E. Tarjan [299]
