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
