Transitive reduction is a concept in graph theory that refers to a way of simplifying a directed graph (digraph) while preserving its essential properties, specifically the reachability of nodes. In a directed graph, a transitive relation indicates that if there is a path from node A to node B and a path from node B to node C, then there is also a path from A to C.
