Hi, I'm looking to do a downstream search over a DAG graph where I never advance past a node until all of the nodes linking to it have been seen. Clearly a breadth first search won't work, but using a topological sort, I can get a list of all the nodes in the correct order. However I only wish to search over the nodes downstream from any particular node (until I reach the leaf nodes), which doesn't work as this is the entire network even if it contains various sub-graphs. Is there a better algorithm or approach I can use to do this? Here's a simple example: a -> b b -> c c -> d a -> c I wouldn't ever want to look at c before b, but if I started at b for example, I would only want to see downstream of this. Any help would be appreciated, Cheers, Dan
