Computing edge-connected components in directed and undirected graphs is a fundamental and well-studied problem in graph algorithms. In a very recent breakthrough, Korhonen [STOC 2025] showed that for any fixed $k$, the $k$-edge connected…

A directed graph G (V, E) is strongly connected if and only if, for a pair of vertices X and Y from V, there exists a path from X to Y and a path from Y to X. In Computer Science, the partition of a graph in strongly connected components is…
