Inspired by the heuristic algorithm for boolean-width by Telle et. al. [1], we develop a heuristic algorithm for rank-width. We compare results on graphs of practical relevance to the established bounds of boolean-width. While the width of most graphs is lower than the known values for tree-width, it turns out that the boolean-width heuristic is able to find decompositions of significantly lower width. In a second step we therefore present a further algorithm that can decide if for a graph
G
and a value
k
exists a rank-decomposition of width lower than
k
. This enables to show that boolean-width is in fact lower than or equal to rank-width on many of the investigated graphs.
