BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-80-794 ENTRY:: June 08, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: Recent developments in the complexity of combinatorial algorithms TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Tarjan, Robert Endre DATE:: June 1980 PAGES:: 30 ABSTRACT:: The last three years have witnessed several major advances in the area of combinatorial algorithms. These include improved algorithms for matrix multiplication and maximum network flow, a polynomial-time algorithm for linear programming, and steps toward a polynomial-time algorithm for graph isomorphism. This paper surveys these results and suggests directions for future research. Included is a discussion of recent work by the author and his students on dynamic dictionaries, network flow problems, and related questions.
