Abstract

The authors provide distinct algorithms for computing transitive closure and transitive reduction with sequential time complexities of O(Σei) and O(n2 + Σei), respectively, and parallel time complexities of O(ei) and O(n + ei), respectively. The proposed transitive closure algorithms are favorable for the sparse digraphs. It is still open whether transitive reduction may be computed in O(Σei) (or O(ei) in parallel).
