Tree, Back, Edge and Cross Edges in DFS of Graph
WEBMar 21, 2023 · Tree Edge: It is an edge which is present in the tree obtained after applying DFS on the graph. All the Green edges are tree edges. Forward Edge: It is an edge (u, v) such that v is a descendant but not part of the DFS tree. An …
WEBDFS Edge Classification. The edges we traverse as we execute a depth-first search can be classified into four edge types. During a DFS execution, the classification of edge (u; v), the edge from vertex u to vertex v, depends on whether we have visited v before in the DFS and if so, the relationship between u and. v.
WEBEdge classifications are different for directed graphs and undirected graphs. DFS in undirected graphs don’t have cross edges. BFS in directed graphs can have edges skipping levels (only as back edges, skipping levels up though!)
WEBThe DFS algorithm can be used to classify graph edges by assigning colors to them in a manner similar to vertex coloring. Each edge (u,v) can be classified by the color of the vertex v that is reached when the edge is first explored: white indicates a tree edge gray indicates a back edge black indicates a forward or cross edge

WEBAccording to the book (Intro to Algorithm), in dfs, edges are classified as 4 kinds: Tree Edge, if in edge (u,v), v is first discovered, then (u, v) is a tree edge. Back Edge, if ......, v is discovered already and v is an ancestor, then it's a back edge.
WEBEdge Classification When we use DFS to search through a graph, we’ll have different “kinds” of edges. Like when we did BFS, we had: Edges that went from level 𝑖to level 𝑖+1 Intra-level edges. We’ll do a few examples to help classify the edges. Then do an application of the classification. Our goal: find a cycle in a directed graph.
Graph Traversal: BFS and DFS - Oregon State University College of ...
WEBOn undirected graphs, DFS classifies each edge into two classes: tree edge (father-to-son, gray-to-white): discovers a new white node; part of the recursion tree. back edge (descent-to-ancestor, gray-to-gray): rediscovers a gray node; detects a cycle. Why you can never rediscover a black node? Let’s prove by contradiction.

WEB6 call visit(v) Here is an animation of what calling visit(1) looks like. Let's look at the edges that were marked in line 5. They form a spanning tree of G G, rooted at the vertex 1. We'll call these edges span-edges; all other edges are called back-edges. This is the DFS tree of our graph: Observation 1.
Understanding the "ordering of the four types of edges" in DFS
WEBMore specifically, if either $(u,v)$ or $(v,u)$ is classified as a tree edge, then $e$ is classified as a tree edge. Otherwise, $e$ is classified as a back edge. Note that at least one of $(u,v)$ and $(v,u)$ must be classified as either tree edge or …
