Which of the following statements accurately describes the structural definition of Strongly Connected Components (SCC) and the methodological sequence of Kosaraju's algorithm?
- 1An SCC is defined as a graph partitioning scheme that strictly prohibits odd cycles, and Kosaraju's algorithm computes it by first reversing the graph and then performing a DFS in order of increasing discovery times.
- 2An SCC represents a minimal connected subgraph covering every vertex, and Kosaraju's algorithm computes it by globally sorting edges in ascending order before performing two successive Breadth-First Searches.
- 3An SCC is a maximal set where every vertex is reachable from every other vertex, and Kosaraju's algorithm computes it by executing a DFS for finishing times, reversing the graph, and performing a second DFS in decreasing finish time order.✓
- 4An SCC is a maximal set of vertices without directed cycles, and Kosaraju's algorithm computes it by performing a single Depth-First Search to find discovery times followed by reversing the vertex order.
Correct answer
An SCC is a maximal set where every vertex is reachable from every other vertex, and Kosaraju's algorithm computes it by executing a DFS for finishing times, reversing the graph, and performing a second DFS in decreasing finish time order.
