Odometers are introduced along with the functions that manipulatethem. The traditional definitions of hyperedge, hypergraph, etc., are redefined interms of odometers and lists. All algorithms and functions necessary to implementthe solution are presented along with techniques to validate and test the results.Lastly, parallelization advanced applications, and future research directions areexamined.en-USAll Rights Reserved.EnumerationHyperedgeHypergraphIterationOdometerTransversalElectronic Thesis or Dissertation
