Transitive reduction

Roderic Page · Front Matter · 2007

Quick note to self, having stumbled on the Wikipedia page on transitive reduction. Given a graph like this: the transitive reduction is: Note that the original graph has an edge a -> d, but this is absent after the reduction because we can get from a to d via b (or c). What's the point?

Transitive closure and transitive reduction in bidirected graphs

Ouahiba Bessouf, Abdelkader Khelladi, Thomas Zasĺavsky · Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal · 2019

In a bidirected graph an edge has a direction at each end, so bidirected graphs generalize directed graphs. We generalize the definitions of transitive closure and transitive reduction from directed graphs to bidirected graphs by introducing new notions of bipath and bicircuit that generalize directed paths and cycles. We show how transitive reduction is related to transitive closure and to the matroids of the signed graph corresponding to the bidirected graph.

Fully Dynamic Algorithms for Transitive Reduction

Gramoz Goranci, Adam Karczmarz, Ali Momeni et al. · ArXiv.org · 2025

Given a directed graph $G$, a transitive reduction $G^t$ of $G$ (first studied by Aho, Garey, Ullman [SICOMP `72]) is a minimal subgraph of $G$ that preserves the reachability relation between every two vertices in $G$. In this paper, we study the computational complexity of transitive reduction in the dynamic setting. We obtain the first fully dynamic algorithms for maintaining a transitive reduction of a general directed graph undergoing updates such as edge insertions or deletions. Our first algorithm achieves $O(m+n \log n)$ amortized update time, which is near-optimal for sparse directed graphs, and can even support extended update operations such as inserting a set of edges all incident to the same vertex, or deleting an arbitrary set of edges. Our second algorithm relies on fast matrix multiplication and achieves $O(m+ n^{1.585})$ \emph{worst-case} update time.
