Abstract

We give the first known optimal algorithm that computes a minimum cycle basis for any weighted outerplanar graph. Specifically, for any n-node edge-weighted outerplanar graph G, we give an O(n)-time algorithm to obtain an O(n)-space compact representation Z(驴) for a minimum cycle basis 驴 of G. Each cycle in 驴 can be computed from Z(驴) in O(1) time per edge. Our result works for directed and undirected outerplanar graphs G.
