Abstract

In this chapter we collect several unrelated results. The algorithm solving the Bandwidth Minimization problem can be seen as a combination of the branching and the dynamic programming techniques. The second section on Branch & Recharge provides a new angle on branching algorithms. The third section gives a brief overview of fundamental results by Impagliazzo, Paturi, and Zane, and the Exponential Time Hypothesis.
