Problem Statement

The problem “Transpose graph” states that you are given a graph and you need to find the transpose of the given graph.

Transpose: Transpose of a directed graph produces another graph with same edge & node configurations but the direction of all the edges have been reversed.

Example

Transpose graph

Types of Solution for finding transpose graph

Adjacency List

Approach

Traverse adjacency list of each node of the graph. Say, the node is u, now traverse each node in the adjacency list of u. Say, the node is v (i.e. u -> v) . In the transpose graph, add u to adjacency list of v (there exists and edge from v to u i.e. v -> u). Repeat this process for all the nodes (& their respective adjacency lists) in the graph until the transposed graph has been obtained.

Complexity Analysis for transpose graph using adjacency list

  1. Time Complexity: T(n) = O(V+E), iterative traversal of adjacency list. Because we have just traversed over all of the nodes in the graph.
  2. Space Complexity: A(n) = O(V+E), because we need new adjacency list for storing the transpose graph.

V = number of vertices in the graph.

E = number of edges in the graph.

Adjacency Matrix

Approach

The transpose of the graph defined by n x n adjacency matrix (where n = number of nodes) is it’s matrix transpose.

Algorithm

  1. Define the graph using adjacency matrix.
  2. Perform transpose of the adjacency matrix to obtain transpose of the given graph.

Complexity Analysis for transpose graph using adjacency matrix

  1. Time Complexity: T(n) = O(V x V) Here also we have traversed through all nodes for each node in graph. Thus O(V*V), that is polynomial-time complexity.
  2. Space Complexity: A(n) = O(1), no extra space used. Here we done an in-place task, we have replaced the values in the initial matrix. Thus constant space is taken.

V = number of vertices in the graph.

E = number of edges in the graph.
