Overview

Finding strongly connected components in a directed graph is a form of clustering heuristics: strongly connected components represent clusters where the objects represented by the vertices are clustered in some way.

Strongly connected components of a directed graph can be computed with Kosaraju's algorithm, which consists of two passes of depth-first search.
