Abstract

A signed graph consists of a graph together with a sign characterizing each vertex. A fundamental concept of signed graphs is that of balance. In this paper a programming algorithm is presented in order to detect balance in signed graphs. The algorithm traverses each vertex at most once and uses two stacks for the implementation, each having a size of at most the number of vertices of the graph. Moreover, the graph need not be stored in computer's memory.
