Constructing a map of an anonymous graph: applications of universal sequences

GreedyMAX-type Algorithms for the Maximum Independent Set Problem
PublicationA maximum independent set problem for a simple graph G = (V,E) is to find the largest subset of pairwise nonadjacent vertices. The problem is known to be NP-hard and it is also hard to approximate. Within this article we introduce a non-negative integer valued functionp defined on the vertex set V(G) and called a potential function of agraph G, while P(G) = max{vinV(G)| p(v)} is called a potential of G. For any graph P(G) <= D(G),...

Smaller Representation of Finite State Automata
PublicationThis paper is a follow-up to Jan Daciuk's experiments on space-effcient finite state automata representation that can be used directly for traversals in main memory. We investigate several techniques of reducing memory footprint of minimal automata, mainly exploiting the fact that transition labels and transition pointer offset values are not evenly distributed and so are suitable for compression.
