30<H1>Incremental Connected Components</H1>
31
32<P>
33This section describes a family of functions and classes that work
34together to calculate the connected components of an undirected graph.
35The algorithm used here is based on the disjoint-sets (fast
36union-find) data structure&nbsp;[<A
37HREF="bibliography.html#clr90">8</A>,<A
38HREF="bibliography.html#tarjan83:_data_struct_network_algo">27</A>]
39which is a good method to use for situations where the graph is
40growing (edges are being added) and the connected components
41information needs to be updated repeatedly. This method does not cover
42the situation where edges are both added and removed from the graph,
43hence it is called <b><i>incremental</i></b><a
44href="bibliography.html#eppstein97:dynamic_graph">[42]</a> (and not
45fully dynamic). The disjoint-sets class is described in Section <A
46HREF="../../disjoint_sets/disjoint_sets.html">Disjoint Sets</A>.
47
48<P>
49The following five operations are the primary functions that you will
50use to calculate and maintain the connected components. The objects
51used here are a graph <TT>g</TT>, a disjoint-sets structure <TT>ds</TT>,
52and vertices <TT>u</TT> and <TT>v</TT>.
53
54<P>
55
56<UL>
57<LI><TT>initialize_incremental_components(g, ds)</TT>
58<BR>
59Basic initialization of the disjoint-sets structure. Each
60 vertex in the graph <TT>g</TT> is in its own set.
61</LI>
62<LI><TT>incremental_components(g, ds)</TT>
63<BR>
64The connected components are calculated based on the edges in the graph
65 <TT>g</TT> and the information is embedded in <TT>ds</TT>.
66</LI>
67<LI><TT>ds.find_set(v)</TT>
68<BR>
69Extracts the component information for vertex <TT>v</TT> from the
70 disjoint-sets.
71</LI>
72<LI><TT>ds.union_set(u, v)</TT>
73<BR>
74Update the disjoint-sets structure when edge <i>(u,v)</i> is added to the graph.

79
80<H3>Complexity</H3>
81
82<P>
83The time complexity for the whole process is <i>O(V + E
84alpha(E,V))</i> where <i>E</i> is the total number of edges in the
85graph (by the end of the process) and <i>V</i> is the number of
86vertices. <i>alpha</i> is the inverse of Ackermann's function which
87has explosive recursively exponential growth. Therefore its inverse
88function grows <I>very</I> slowly. For all practical purposes
89<i>alpha(m,n) <= 4</i> which means the time complexity is only
90slightly larger than <i>O(V + E)</i>.
91
92<P>
93
94<H3>Example</H3>
95
96<P>
97Maintain the connected components of a graph while adding edges using
98the disjoint-sets data structure. The full source code for this
99example can be found in <a
100href="../example/incremental_components.cpp"><TT>examples/incremental_components.cpp</TT></a>.
