Revisiting a Successful Reduction Rule for Dominating Set

Lukas Geis, Alexander Leonhardt, Johannes Meintrup +3

Given a graph with vertices and edges, the DominatingSet problem asks for a set of minimal cardinality such that every vertex either is in …

Efficient Uniform Negative Edge Weights

Lukas Geis, Daniel Allendorf, Thomas Bläsius +4

We consider a maximum entropy edge weight model that allows for negative weights. Given a graph and possible weights typically consisting of positive and negative…

Insights into -shortcutting algorithms

Alexander Leonhardt, Ulrich Meyer, Manuel Penschuck

A graph is called a -graph iff every node can reach of its nearest neighbors in at most k hops. This property proved useful in the analysis and design of parallel shorte…

Engineering Shared-Memory Parallel Shuffling to Generate Random Permutations In-Place

Manuel Penschuck

Shuffling is the process of rearranging a sequence of elements into a random order such that any permutation occurs with equal probability. It is an important building block in a p…

Bidirectional Text Compression in External Memory

Patrick Dinklage, Jonas Ellert, Johannes Fischer +2

Bidirectional compression algorithms work by substituting repeated substrings by references that, unlike in the famous LZ77-scheme, can point to either direction. We present such a…
