Abstract

We investigate sublinear-space computability relation among the directed graph vertex connectivity problem and its related problems, where by “sublinear-space computability” we mean in this paper \(O(n^{1-\varepsilon })\)-space and polynomial-time computability w.r.t. the number n of vertices. We demonstrate algorithmic techniques to relate the sublinear-space computability of directed graph connectivity and undirected graph length bounded connectivity.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Any \(O(\log n)\)-space algorithm is (modified to) a polynomial-time algorithm; thus, it is not necessary to require the polynomial-time computability when discussing the log-space computability.
