Constant Amortized Time Enumeration of Eulerian trails

Abstract

In this paper, we consider enumeration problems for edge-distinct and vertex-distinct Eulerian trails. Here, two Eulerian trails are \emph{edge-distinct} if the edge sequences are not identical, and they are \emph{vertex-distinct} if the vertex sequences are not identical. As the main result, we propose optimal enumeration algorithms for both problems, that is, these algorithm runs in $\mathcal{O}(N)$ total time, where $N$ is the number of solutions. Our algorithms are based on the reverse search technique introduced by [Avis and Fukuda, DAM 1996], and the push out amortization technique introduced by [Uno, WADS 2015]
