Rivercrossing puzzles are a type of puzzle where the objective is to move a set of pieces objects, animals or people across a river, from one bank of the river. A circuit starting and ending at vertex a is shown below. This might not be the best of the solution but then this is a working solution. For a disconnected undirected graph, definition is similar, a bridge is an edge removing which increases number of disconnected components. We also study directed graphs or digraphs d v,e, where the edges have a direction, that is, the edges are ordered. I goal is to determine the shortest path from some start node s to each nodes in v. Now, you asked for simple modifications to dfs to find bridges and articulation points, are such, there are better ways to do this although probably of the same order that give you more info about the graph, but the following will focus on being a simple change from a normal dfs to find them. Origins of graph theory before we start with the actual implementations of graphs in python and before we start with the introduction of python modules dealing with graphs, we want to devote ourselves to the origins of graph theory.
