Connections in acyclic hypergraphs

From MaRDI portal





The property of equivalence between subgraphs without articulation points and biconnected components known in ordinary graph theory is generalized to hypergraph theory. The notion of a cyclicity in hypergraphs is understood in a nonstandard way and it is proved that a hypergraph H is acyclic if and only if for no pair of subsets \(N\subset H\), \(M\subset H\), there is an independent path. A relationship between the process of Graham reduction of acyclic hypergraphs [see \textit{M. H. Graham}, On the universal relation, Tech. Rept., Univ. of Toronto (1979)] and the process of tableau reduction [see \textit{A. V. Aho, Y. Sagiv} and \textit{J. D. Ullman}, SIAM J. Comput. 8, 218-246 (1979; Zbl 0412.68041)] is also exhibited.
