Abstract

In this chapter we will discuss two systematic and structured methods of traversing the nodes and arcs of a graph. These traversal techniques can then be used as a powerful algorithm design tool on graph data types. These are indeed generalisations of the tree traversal methods which were used as a basis of efficient algorithms on trees.
