<P>
The <TT>strong_components()</TT> functions compute the strongly
connected components of a directed graph using Tarjan's algorithm
based on DFS&nbsp;[<A
HREF="bibliography.html#tarjan72:dfs_and_linear_algo">41</A>].
<P>
The output of the algorithm is recorded in the component property
map <TT>comp</TT>, which will contain numbers giving the component ID
assigned to each vertex. The number of components is the return value
of the function.
<P>
The algorithm requires the use of several property maps: color,
discover time, and root vertex. There are two versions of this
algorithm to accommodate whether or not you wish to extend the
algorithm with a <a href="./DFSVisitor.html">DFSVisitor</a>.

<H3>Definitions</H3>
<P>
A <b><I>strongly connected component</I></b> of a directed graph
<i>G=(V,E)</i> is a maximal set of vertices <i>U</i> which is in
<i>V</i> such that for every pair of vertices <i>u</i> and <i>v</i> in
<i>U</i>, we have both a path from <i>u</i> to <i>v</i> and path from
<i>v</i> to <i>u</i>. That is to say that <i>u</i> and <i>v</i> are
reachable from each other.
<P>
<H3>Requirements on Types</H3>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>The graph type must be a model of <a
href="./VertexListGraph.html">VertexListGraph</a>.
</LI>
<LI><TT>DiscoverTime</TT> must be a model of <a
href="../../property_map/WritablePropertyMap.html">
WritablePropertyMap</a> and their value type must be an integer
type. Vertex descriptors from the graph should be usable as the
key type for these maps.
</LI>
<LI>The <TT>ColorMap</TT> must be a <a
href="../../property_map/ReadWritePropertyMap.html">
ReadWritePropertyMap</a> and the graph's vertex descriptor type
should be usable as the map's key type. The value type of the map
must be a model of <I>ColorValue</I>.
</LI>
<LI>The <TT>RootMap</TT> must be a <a
href="../../property_map/ReadWritePropertyMap.html">
ReadWritePropertyMap</a>, where the key type and the value type
are the vertex descriptor type of the graph.
</LI>
<LI>The <TT>ComponentMap</TT> type must be a model of <a
href="../../property_map/ReadWritePropertyMap.html">
ReadWritePropertyMap</a>. The value type of the
<TT>ComponentMap</TT> property map should be an integer type,
preferably the same as the <TT>size_type</TT> of the graph. The
key type should be the graph's vertex descriptor type.
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
<H3>Complexity</H3>
<P>
The time complexity for the strongly connected components algorithm is
<i>O(V + E)</i>.
