Abstract

Many graph search algorithms use a labelling of the vertices to compute an ordering of the vertices. We examine such algorithms which compute a peo (perfect elimination ordering) of a chordal graph, and corresponding algorithms which compute an meo (minimal elimination ordering) of a non-chordal graph. We express all known peo-computing search algorithms as instances of a generic algorithm called MLS (Maximal Label Search) and generalize Algorithm MLS into CompMLS, which can compute any peo. We then extend these algorithms to versions which compute an meo, and likewise generalize all known meo-computing search algorithms. We show the surprising result that all these search algorithms compute the same set of minimal triangulations, even though the computed meos are different.
