摘要: Abstract The history of graph algorithms so far exhibits a process evolution. In the early days (say up to 1960 or so) it was sufficient, given problem, find some algorithm that solved problem somehow. Later, consideration complexity, in time and space, started become paramount importance, concepts like NP-completeness focused attention on questions how efficient an might possibly be. This trend can be expected continue. It hints at growing level abstraction study algorithms. Theorems such as those Robertson Seymour, which, for example, demonstrate existence polynomial certain problems without exhibiting actual are signposts one direction which theory is going.
