SS19:Visualisierung von Graphen
Topic outline
-
Description:
This course discusses the most important algorithms for graph drawing. Many methods are imported from the Algorithmic Graph Theory lecture; such as: divide and conquer, network flows, integer programming and the planar separator theorem. We will discuss measures of the quality of graph drawings and algorithms to optimize them.
Learning Objectives:
The participants will receive an overview of the subject graph visualization (a nice topic for a thesis ;) ) and the usual tools therein. They will expand their knowledge of modelling and solving problems using graphs and graph algorithms.
Evaluation:
Grades will be determined by an oral exam at the end of the semester. A bonus of 0,3 points will be awarded to the students who obtain at least 50% of the points on the exercises.
