Space-Efficient Biconnected Components and Recognition of Outerplanar Graphs
We present space-efficient algorithms for computing cut vertices in a given
graph with vertices and edges in linear time using bits. With the same time and using bits, we can compute the
biconnected components of a graph. We use this result to show an algorithm for
the recognition of (maximal) outerplanar graphs in time using
bits
Space-Efficient DFS and Applications: Simpler, Leaner, Faster
The problem of space-efficient depth-first search (DFS) is reconsidered. A
particularly simple and fast algorithm is presented that, on a directed or
undirected input graph with vertices and edges, carries out a
DFS in time with bits of working memory, where is the
(total) degree of , for each , and . A slightly more complicated variant of the algorithm works in the same
time with at most bits. It is also shown that a DFS can
be carried out in a graph with vertices and edges in
time with bits or in time with either
bits or, for arbitrary integer , bits. These
results among them subsume or improve most earlier results on space-efficient
DFS. Some of the new time and space bounds are shown to extend to applications
of DFS such as the computation of cut vertices, bridges, biconnected components
and 2-edge-connected components in undirected graphs
