    Abstract

    We show that minimum connected $(s,t)$-vertex separator ($(s,t)$-CVS) is
    $\Omega(log^{2-\epsilon}n)$-hard for any $\epsilon >0$ unless NP has
    quasi-polynomial Las-Vegas algorithms. i.e., for any $\epsilon >0$ and for some
    $\delta >0$, $(s,t)$-CVS is unlikely to have
    $\delta.log^{2-\epsilon}n$-approximation algorithm. We show that $(s,t)$-CVS is
    NP-complete on graphs with chordality at least 5 and present a polynomial-time
    algorithm for $(s,t)$-CVS on bipartite chordality 4 graphs.

  2. Online Algorithms for Self-Organizing Sequential Search - A Survey.

    Authors: Rakesh Mohanty, N. S. Narayanaswamy
    Subjects: Data Structures and Algorithms
    Abstract

    The main objective of this survey is to present the important theoretical and
    experimental results contributed till date in the area of online algorithms for
    the self organizing sequential search problem, also popularly known as the List
    Update Problem(LUP) in a chronological way. The survey includes competitiveness
    results of deterministic and randomized online algorithms and complexity
    results of optimal off line algorithms for the list update problem.
