Nitin Verma

August 28, 2021

In an earlier article titled Cycle Detection: Floyd’s Algorithm [1], the generic cycle detection problem was introduced, and it was solved via Floyd’s algorithm. Now we will discuss the Brent’s Cycle Detection Algorithm for this problem, named after R. P. Brent [2]. Refer to page 1 of article [1] for the problem definition and related notations.
