Oracle reads a book about graph theory, especially the chapter
about cyclical graphs and uses the algorithm described there. 
I happen to know of a former VP at the Oracle Corp. who is very
well versed in math and who wrote a book about tuning Oracle and
threw in some queuing theory, which was really refreshing, indeed.
It is conceivable that this guy might have heard about the graph theory
and linear algebra and implemented something of that nature to resolve
deadlocks.

to detect graphs.
