This guy is a freaking genius!

Tarjan is known for off-line nearest common ancestors? Really? Couldn't you find anything better.

The LCA algorithm is not even invented by Tarjan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.155.35.66 (talk) 01:34, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a pop-culture reference to Tarjan in the RPG video game series "The Bard's Tale", where one of the adversaries is "the mad god Tarjan". In a game concerned with mazes, can't be a coincidence.

Series - parallel graphs

In 1983 Tarjan also contributed to the Goldberg et al. topology of series - parallel graphs. They published an decision algorithm to test whether or not a graph is in fact SP. Along with Tarjan's strongly connected components algorithm these comprise the only new topological analyses in graph theory since Kuratovsky. This algorithm has practical relevance to graph drawing (as of course does the Hopcroft Tarjan planarity test).
