Forests graphs acyclic connected components from "summary" of Introduction to Graph Theory by Douglas Brent West
A forest is a graph containing no cycles. The connected components of a forest are trees, which are connected graphs with no cycles. Each tree is called a component of the forest. A forest can be decomposed into its connected components, with each component being a maximal connected subgraph. In other words, a forest consists of one or...
