We describe an efficient implementation as well as modifications to reduce its time complexity in worst case instances, both in theory and in practical cases. We compare experimentally against its widely used simpler variant and show cases for which the full algorithm yields better performance.}, year = {2020}, journal = {Algorithm Engineering and Experiment (ALENEX)}, pages = {134-145}, publisher = {Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics}, }
