Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAn Empirical Criterion for Transitive ClosureMarius OrlowskiThe paper establishes a simple and computationally economical criterion for determining whether a given adjacency matrix represents a transitive closure or not. The criterion is based on a new iterative method for finding the transitive closure adjacency matrix. This method is equivalent to but computationally more efficient than the traditional Boolean sum of successive powers of the original adjacency matrix … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 12 · 23 Dec 2022 · 5,418 accessesView PDFCite
