Sallow: a heuristic algorithm for treedepth decompositions

Data Structures and Algorithms 2020-10-01 v4

Abstract

We describe a heuristic algorithm for computing treedepth decompositions, submitted for the PACE 2020 challenge. It relies on a variety of greedy algorithms computing elimination orderings, as well as a Divide & Conquer approach on balanced cuts obtained using a from-scratch reimplementation of the 2016 FlowCutter algorithm by Hamann & Strasser [ACM JEA 2018].
