    A survey on algorithmic aspects of modular decomposition

    Full text link
    The modular decomposition is a technique that applies but is not restricted to graphs. The notion of module naturally appears in the proofs of many graph theoretical theorems. Computing the modular decomposition tree is an important preprocessing step to solve a large number of combinatorial optimization problems. Since the first polynomial time algorithm in the early 70's, the algorithmic of the modular decomposition has known an important development. This paper survey the ideas and techniques that arose from this line of research

    Note on Ward-Horadam H(x) - binomials' recurrences and related interpretations, II

    Full text link
    We deliver here second new H(x)−binomials′\textit{H(x)}-binomials' recurrence formula, were H(x)−binomials′H(x)-binomials' array is appointed by Ward−HoradamWard-Horadam sequence of functions which in predominantly considered cases where chosen to be polynomials . Secondly, we supply a review of selected related combinatorial interpretations of generalized binomial coefficients. We then propose also a kind of transfer of interpretation of p,q−binomialp,q-binomial coefficients onto q−binomialq-binomial coefficients interpretations thus bringing us back to Gyo¨rgyPoˊlyaGy{\"{o}}rgy P\'olya and Donald Ervin Knuth relevant investigation decades ago.Comment: 57 pages, 8 figure
