Return dictionary of successors in depth-first-search from source.

Parameters:
  • G (NetworkX graph) –
  • source (node, optional) – Specify starting node for depth-first search and return edges in the component reachable from source.
Returns:

succ – A dictionary with nodes as keys and list of successor nodes as values.
Return type:

dict

Examples

>>> G = nx.Graph()
>>> G.add_path([0,1,2])
>>> print(nx.dfs_successors(G,0))
{0: [1], 1: [2]}

Notes

Based on http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/PADS/DFS.py by D. Eppstein, July 2004.

If a source is not specified then a source is chosen arbitrarily and repeatedly until all components in the graph are searched.
