Abstract
The authors develop a simplified linear-time test for graph chordality and hypergraph acyclicity. The test uses a new kind of graph (and hypergraph) search, which they call maximum cardinality search. A variant of the method gives a way to selectively reduce acyclic hypergraphs, which is needed for evaluating queries in acyclic relational data bases.
