Abstract

Flows in networks: algorithms of Ford-Fulkerson, Edmonds-Karp and Goldberg-Tarjan; matching problems: algorithm of Hopcroft-Karp, blossom algorithm of Edmonds; primal-dual method and its application for matching problems; planar graphs: linear testing algorithm, drawing of planar graphs; separators for trees and planar graphs and its applications; treewidth and tree decomposition.

Content

Graphen sind ein wichtiges Konzept in Informatik und Mathematik. In dieser Vorlesung werden grundlegenden algorithmische Fragestellungen diskutiert und neue Forschungsergebnisse vorgestellt. Folgender Inhalt ist geplant: - Flüsse in Netzwerken - Matchings - Travelling Salesman Problem - Planare Graphen - Separatoren und Baumweite
