Strongly connected components

Strongly connected components are groups within a directed network where every point can reach every other point by following the connections. Imagine a map of cities linked by one-way roads: a strongly connected component means that starting from any city in the group, you can travel to any other city in the same group without leaving it. This concept helps identify tightly-knit clusters in networks like social media, communication, or transportation systems, highlighting areas where movement or information flow is fully interconnected.
