Abstract

A simple algorithm solving the problem of finding a cycle of length greater than three and without diagonals is presented. Given a graph withn vertices andm edges, the algorithm finds a solution after at mostO ((n+m) logn) steps.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird ein einfacher Algorithmus mit den im Titel angegebenen Eigenschaften vor gelegt, der nach höchstensO((n+m)logn) Schritten eine Lösung liefert.
