An acyclic coloring of a graph is a proper vertex coloring such that the union of any two color classes induces a disjoint collection of trees. The more restricted notion of star ...
We investigate the efficient iterative solution of large-scale sparse linear systems on shared-memory multiprocessors. Our parallel approach is based on a multilevel ILU precondit...
The theorem of factorization forests of Imre Simon shows the existence of nested factorizations -- `a la Ramsey -- for finite words. This theorem has important applications in sem...
