Succinct Representations of Separable Graphs

چکیده
We consider the problem of highly space-efficient representation of separable graphs while supporting queries in constant time in the RAM with logarithmic word size. In particular, we show constanttime support for adjacency, degree and neighborhood queries. For any monotone class of separable graphs, the storage requirement of the representation is optimal to within lower order terms. Separable graphs are those that admit a O(n)-separator theorem where c < 1. Many graphs that arise in practice are indeed separable. For instance, graphs with a bounded genus are separable. In particular, planar graphs (genus 0) are separable and our scheme gives the first succinct representation of planar graphs with a storage requirement that matches the information-theory minimum to within lower order terms with constant time support for the queries. We, furthers, show that we can also modify the scheme to succinctly represent the combinatorial planar embedding of planar graphs (and hence encode planar maps).

Succinct Indexes
This thesis defines and designs succinct indexes for several abstract data types (ADTs). The concept is to design auxiliary data structures that ideally occupy asymptotically less space than the information-theoretic lower bound on the space required to encode the given data, and support an extended set of operations using the basic operators defined in the ADT. As opposed to succinct (integrat...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for the Recognition of Series Parallel Graphs
In this paper we develop a new linear-time algorithm for the recognition of series parallel graphs. The algorithm is based on a succinct representation of series parallel graphs for which the presence of an arc can be tested in constant time; space utilization is linear in the number of vertices. We show how to compute such a representation in linear time from a breadth-first spanning tree. Fur...
متن کاملSuccinct representations of planar maps
This paper addresses the problem of representing the connectivity information of geometric objects using as little memory as possible. As opposed to raw compression issues, the focus is here on designing data structures that preserve the possibility of answering incidence queries in constant time. We propose in particular the first optimal representations for 3-connected planar graphs and trian...
متن کاملA Simple Optimal Representation for Balanced Parentheses
We consider succinct, or highly space-efficient, representations of a (static) string consisting of n pairs of balanced parentheses, that support natural operations such as finding the matching parenthesis for a given parenthesis, or finding the pair of parentheses that most tightly enclose a given pair. This problem was considered by Jacobson, [Proc. 30th FOCS, 549–554, 1989] and Munro and Ram...
