Abstract

An attempt was made to obtain new dynamic algorithms for maintaining the transitive closure of a directed graph, and several other algorithms for answering reachability queries without explicitly maintaining a transitive closure matrix. The algorithms were obtained by combining several new ideas, one of which is a simple sampling idea used for detecting decompositions of strongly connected components. Results on estimating the size of the transitive closure to the dynamic setting were also employed.
