graph.
2. Students will be able to learn how to apply DFS to get the number of
connected components in a graph.
3. Students will be able to learn how to apply DFS to find the articulation
points in a graph (Tarjan’s Algorithm).

Q1. Consider the following directed graph

 School of Computer Science Engineering and Technology

Find the topological sorting of the given graph.

Solution:
Steps to Find Topological Sorting
1. Apply DFS to get the finishing time for all the vertices.
2. List the vertices in decreasing order of their finishing time.

One of the topological sortings of the above graph is as follows:

A, C, D, B, E, H, F, G.

Q2. Consider the following graph

 School of Computer Science Engineering and Technology

Find the number of connected components using DFS.

Solution:
The algorithm to compute the number of connected components is as
follows:

Apply the above Algorithm to the given graph

Total number of connected components = 3 [{v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6}, {v7,
v8, v9}, {v10, v11, v12}]

Q3. Find the articulation points in the given graph using Tarjan’s Algorithm

Solution:
Steps of Tarjan’s Algorithm to find articulation points:
[Step 1.] Find the depth-first spanning tree T for G
[Step 2.] Add back edges in T

[Step 3.] Determine DNF(i) and L(i)

✓ DNF(i): the visiting sequence of vertices i by depth-first search
✓ L(i): the least DFN reachable from i through a path consisting of
zero or more tree edges followed by zero or one back edge

[Step 4.] Vertex i is an articulation point of G if and only if either:

✓ i is the root of T and has at least two children
✓ i is not the root and has a child j for which L(j)>=DFN(i)

Articulation points: A, H, G, J
