Efficient graph representations

The book deals with questions which arise from storing a graph in a computer. Different classes of graphs admit different forms of computer representations, and focusing on the representations gives a new perspective on a number of problems. For a variety of classes of graphs, the book considers such questions as existence of good representations, algorithms for finding representations, questions of characterizations in terms of representation, and how the representation affects the complexity of optimization problems. General models of efficient computer representations are also considered. T
