Linear verification for spanning trees

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Given a rooted tree with values associated with the n vertices and a set A of directed paths (queries), we describe an algorithm which finds the maximum value of every one of the given paths, and which uses only {equation presented} comparisons. This leads to a spanning tree verification algorithm using O(n + e) comparisons in a graph with n vertices and e edges. No implementation is offered.
