Abstract

We have conducted an extensive experimental study on some recent, theoretically outstanding, algorithms for fully dynamic transitive closure along with several variants of them, and compared them to pseudo fully dynamic and simple-minded algorithms developed in a previous study. We tested and compared these implementations on random inputs, synthetic (worst-case) inputs, and on inputs motivated by real-world graphs. Our experiments reveal that some of the fully dynamic algorithms can really be of practical value in many situations.
