A linear time algorithm to recognize clustered planar graphs and its parallelization

From MaRDI portal





The author gives a linear time algorithm for the following problem: Given a graph \(G\) and a hierarchical clustering of the vertices such that all clusters induce connected subgraphs, determine whether \(G\) may be embedded into the plane such that no cluster has a hole. The algorithm is based on the decomposition of the graph into its 3-connected components. The major idea is that the clusters are weighted by their sizes and each edge is weighted by the weight of the cluster of minimum size that contains it. The result is an improvement to the \(O(n^2)\)-algorithm of Q.-W. Feng et al. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0889.00032].
