Abstract
The paper contains results of computational experiences with the following algorithms for finding the transitive closure of a digraph: (i) Warshall's algorithm [17], (ii) Purdom's algorithm [13], (iii) the modification of Yen's algorithm [14], and (iv) the new algorithms for finding the transitive closure [3, 4]. The tested digraphs were generated at random. The enclosed references contain all papers known to the authors concerning transitive closure algorithms.
Zusammenfassung
