Definition
C1Graph Theory
(technical, academic)In a directed graph, every vertex can be reached from any other vertex.
Example
- The network is strongly connected, ensuring that data can travel from any node to any other node.
- A strongly connected component in a graph means all its vertices are mutually reachable.
C1Systems
(technical, academic)Describes a system where all parts are interconnected, so changes in one part affect the entire system.
Example
- The ecosystem is strongly connected, meaning the removal of one species can disrupt the entire system.
- In a strongly connected social network, the removal of one person can significantly impact the group's dynamics.
