1 1 vote Assume WHITE vertices that are yet to be discovered, BLACK vertices are finished vertices and GRAY vertices are frontier betweeen WHITE and BLACK in Depth First Search. Now, What are the various edge types like TREE-EDGE and BACK-EDGE possible between any pair of vertices during a Depth First Search in an Undirected graph. Confused about the edge type between WHITE and GRAY type vertices.

0 0 votes An edge (u,v) is said to be TREE-EDGE if either u is ancestor of v or v is ancestor of u. An edge (u,v) is said to be BACK-EGE if the edge between u and v discovered during the traversal from v to u. If we can have a TREE-EDGE between any pair of types of vertices in an undirected graph, we can also have BACK-EDGE in that same pair of types of vertices. Possible types of edges in undirected graph during DFS at any stage WHITE GRAY BLACK WHITE Tree, Back Tree, Back None GRAY Tree, Back Tree, Back Tree, Back BLACK None Tree, Back Tree, Back Salman answered Oct 22, 2015 Salman comment Share Follow 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
