Class EulerianCycle

java.lang.Object
algs41.EulerianCycle
public class EulerianCycle extends Object
The EulerianCycle class represents a data type for finding an Eulerian cycle or path in a graph. An Eulerian cycle is a cycle (not necessarily simple) that uses every edge in the graph exactly once.

This implementation uses a nonrecursive depth-first search. The constructor takes Θ(E + V) time in the worst case, where E is the number of edges and V is the number of vertices Each instance method takes Θ(1) time. It uses Θ(E + V) extra space in the worst case (not including the graph).

To compute Eulerian paths in graphs, see EulerianPath. To compute Eulerian cycles and paths in digraphs, see DirectedEulerianCycle and DirectedEulerianPath.
