The primary goals of any frequent pattern mining algorithm are to reduce the number of candidates generated and tested as well as number of scan of database required and scan the database as small as ...

In theory, it cannot be ruled out that the algorithms might run for longer than the age of the universe. But in practice, many algorithms seem to work just fine. Almost always.

Graph theory is an integral component of algorithm design that underlies sparse matrices, relational databases, and networks. Improving the performance of graph algorithms has direct implications to ...
