Abstract

The closure of a graph G of n vertices is obtained from G by recursively joining pairs of non-adjacent vertices whose degree sum is at least n until no such pair remains. We give an efficient algorithm to compute the closure using F-heaps. We also define the general closure of a graph and show that computing the general closure is P-complete with respect to log-space transformations.
