Download or read book Data Structures and Network Algorithms written by Robert Endre Tarjan and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an explosive growth in the field of combinatorial algorithms. These algorithms depend not only on results in combinatorics and especially in graph theory, but also on the development of new data structures and new techniques for analyzing algorithms. Four classical problems in network optimization are covered in detail, including a development of the data structures they use and an analysis of their running time. Data Structures and Network Algorithms attempts to provide the reader with both a practical understanding of the algorithms, described to facilitate their easy implementation, and an appreciation of the depth and beauty of the field of graph algorithms.
