Abstract

An algorithm is given for computing the transitive closure of a binary relation that is represented by a Boolean matrix. The algorithm is similar to Warshall's although it executes faster for sparse matrices on most computers, particularly in a paging environment. © 1975, ACM. All rights reserved.
