X Abstract

We provide data strutures that maintain a graph as edges are inserted and deleted, and keep track of the following properties with the following times: minimum spanning forests, graph connectivity, graph 2-edge connectivity, and bipartiteness in timeO(n1/2) per change; 3-edge connectivity, in time O(n2/3) per change; 4-edge connectivity, in time O(n&agr;(n)) per change; k-edge connectivity for constant k, in time O(nlogn) per change;2-vertex connectivity, and 3-vertex connectivity, in the O(n) per change; and 4-vertex connectivity, in time O(n&agr;(n)) per change. Further results speed up the insertion times to match the bounds of known partially dynamic algorithms.All our algorithms are based on a new technique that transforms an algorithm for sparse graphs into one that will work on any graph, which we call sparsification.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
