+><P
+>&#13;The BFS method performs a breadth-first search [<A
+HREF="bibliography.html#CLR98"
+>clr98</A
+>] of a graph.
+A breadth-first search visits vertices that are closer to the
+source before visiting vertices that are further away. In this
+context `distance' is defined as the number of edges in the
+shortest path from the source vertex.
