Abstract

We describe efficient algorithms for finding even cycles in undirected graphs. Our main results are the following: (i) For every k ≥ 2, there is an O(V2) time algorithm that decides whether an undirected graph G = (V, E) contains a simple cycle of length 2k, and finds one if it does. (ii) There is an O(V2) time algorithm that finds a shortest even cycle in an undirected graph G = (V, E).
