Abstract

The problem of enumerating connected subgraphs of a given size in a graph has been extensively studied in recent years. In this paper, we propose an algorithm with a delay of O(kΔ) for enumerating all connected induced subgraphs of size k in an undirected graph G=(V, E), where k and Δ are respectively the size of subgraphs and the maximum degree of G. The algorithm requires a preprocessing step of O(|V| + |E|) time to compute a depth-first search traversal order. The proposed algorithm improves upon the current best delay bound O(k2Δ) for the connected induced subgraph enumeration problem in the literature.
