Abstract
A directed graph G = (V, E) is said to be singly connected if u curved righ t arrow v implies that there is at most one simple path from u to v for all vertices u, u is an element of V. In this paper we design an algorithm to test a graph for being singly connected that takes O(\V\(2)) steps. (C) 199 9 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
