The behavior of a Markov network with respect to an absorbing class: the target algorithm

Giacomo Aletti (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In this paper, we face a generalization of the problem of finding the distribution of how long it takes to reach a “target” set T of states in Markov chain. The graph problems of finding the number of paths that go from a state to a target set and of finding the n-length path connections are shown to belong to this generalization. This paper explores how the state space of the Markov chain can be reduced by collapsing together those states that behave in the same way for the purposes of calculating...

The branch and bound algorithm for a backup virtual path assignment in survivable ATM networks

Krzysztof Walkowiak (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Issues of network survivability are important, since users of computer networks should be provided with some guarantees of data delivery. A large amount of data may be lost in high-speed Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) due to a network failure and cause significant economic loses. This paper addresses problems of network survivability. The characteristics of virtual paths and their influence on network restoration are examined. A new problem of Backup Virtual Path Routing is presented for the local-destination...

The Capacitated Arc Routing Problem. A heuristic algorithm.

Enrique. Benavent, V. Campos, Angel Corberán, Enrique Mota (1990)

Qüestiió

In this paper we consider the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem, in which a fleet of K vehicles, all of them based on a specific vertex (the depot) and with a known capacity Q, must service a subset of the edges of the graph, with minimum total cost and such that the load assigned to each vehicle does not exceed its capacity.A heuristic algorithm for this problem is proposed consisting of: the selection of K centers, the construction of K connected graphs with associated loads not exceeding the vehicle...

The color-balanced spanning tree problem

Štefan Berežný, Vladimír Lacko (2005)

Kybernetika

Suppose a graph G = ( V , E ) whose edges are partitioned into p disjoint categories (colors) is given. In the color-balanced spanning tree problem a spanning tree is looked for that minimizes the variability in the number of edges from different categories. We show that polynomiality of this problem depends on the number p of categories and present some polynomial algorithm.

The complexity of short schedules for uet bipartite graphs

Evripidis Bampis (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

We show that the problem of deciding if there is a schedule of length three for the multiprocessor scheduling problem on identical machines and unit execution time tasks in -complete even for bipartite graphs, i.e. for precedence graphs of depth one. This complexity result extends a classical result of Lenstra and Rinnoy Kan [5].
