On Minimum Edge Ranking Spanning Trees

In this paper, we introduce the problem of computing a minimum edge ranking spanning tree (MERST); i.e., find a spanning tree of a given graph G whose edge ranking is minimum. Although the minimum edge ranking of a given tree can be computed in polynomial time, we show that problem MERST is NP-hard. Furthermore, we present an approximation algorithm for MERST, which realizes its worst case performance ratio where n is the number of vertices in G and Δ* is the maximum degree of a spanning tree whose maximum degree is minimum. Although the approximation algorithm is a combination of two existing algorithms for the restricted spanning tree problem and for the minimum edge ranking problem of trees, the analysis is based on novel properties of the edge ranking of trees.     

Partial inverse maximum spanning tree in which weight can only be decreased under $$l_p$$-norm

The maximum or minimum spanning tree problem is a classical combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, we consider the partial inverse maximum spanning tree problem in which the weight function can only be decreased. Given a graph, an acyclic edge set, and an edge weight function, the goal of this problem is to decrease weights as little as possible such that there exists with respect to function containing the given edge set. If the given edge set has at least two edges, we show that this problem is APX-Hard. If the given edge set contains only one edge, we present a polynomial time algorithm.     

Rotationally optimal spanning and Steiner trees in uniform orientation metrics

We consider the problem of finding a minimum spanning and Steiner tree for a set of n points in the plane where the orientations of edge segments are restricted to λ uniformly distributed orientations, λ=2,3,4,… , and where the coordinate system can be rotated around the origin by an arbitrary angle. The most important cases with applications in VLSI design arise when λ=2 or λ=4. In the former, so-called rectilinear case, the edge segments have to be parallel to one of the coordinate axes, and in the latter, so-called octilinear case, the edge segments have to be parallel to one of the coordinate axes or to one of the lines making 45° with the coordinate axes (so-called diagonals). As the coordinate system is rotated—while the points remain stationary—the length and indeed the topology of the minimum spanning or Steiner tree changes. We suggest a straightforward polynomial-time algorithm to solve the rotational minimum spanning tree problem. We also give a simple algorithm to solve the rectilinear Steiner tree problem in the rotational setting, and a finite time algorithm for the general Steiner tree problem with λ uniform orientations. Finally, we provide some computational results indicating the average savings for different values of n and λ both for spanning and Steiner trees.     

An algorithm for finding a matroid basis which maximizes the product of the weights of the elements

Consider the problem of finding a spanning tree in an edge-weighted connected graph that maximizes the product of its edge weights, where negative edge weights are allowed. We generalize this problem to matroids and give a polynomial time algorithm for its solution.

Chance constrained bottleneck spanning tree problem

In this paper we consider a stochastic version of the bottleneck spanning tree in which edge costs are independent random variables. Our problem is to find an optimal spanning tree and optimal satisficing level of the chance constraint with respect to the bottleneck (maximum cost) edge of the spanning tree. The problem is first transformed into a deterministic equivalent problem. Then a subproblem in order to solve the problem is introduced and the close relation between these problems is clarified. Finally, based on the relation, polynomial time solution procedures to solve the problem are proposed under two special functions of satisficing level which are given as examples to be solved easily.     

On the bicriterion – minimal cost/minimal label – spanning tree problem

We address a bicriterion spanning tree problem relevant in some application fields such as telecommunication networks or transportation networks. Each edge is assigned with a cost value and a label (such as a color). The first criterion intends to minimize the total cost of the spanning tree (the summation of its edge costs), while the second intends to get the solution with a minimal number of different labels. Since these criteria, in general, are conflicting criteria we developed an algorithm to generate the set of non-dominated spanning trees. Computational experiments are presented and results discussed.     

Minimum edge ranking spanning trees of split graphs

Given a graph G, the minimum edge ranking spanning tree problem (MERST) is to find a spanning tree of G whose edge ranking is minimum. However, this problem is known to be NP-hard for general graphs. In this paper, we show that the problem MERST has a polynomial time algorithm for split graphs, which have useful applications in practice. The result is also significant in the sense that this is a first non-trivial graph class for which the problem MERST is found to be polynomially solvable. We also show that the problem MERST for threshold graphs can be solved in linear time, where threshold graphs are known to be split.     

Generating Functions for Computing the Myerson Value

The complexity of a computational problem is the order of computational resources which are necessary and sufficient to solve the problem. The algorithm complexity is the cost of a particular algorithm. We say that a problem has polynomial complexity if its computational complexity is a polynomial in the measure of input size. We introduce polynomial time algorithms based in generating functions for computing the Myerson value in weighted voting games restricted by a tree. Moreover, we apply the new generating algorithm for computing the Myerson value in the Council of Ministers of the European Union restricted by a communication structure.     

A polynomial algorithm for the multicriteria cent-dian location problem

Given a network with several weights per node and several lengths per edge, we address the problem of locating a facility on the network such that the convex combinations of the center and median objective functions are minimized. Since we consider several weights and several lengths, various objective functions should be minimized, and hence we have to solve a multicriteria cent-dian location problem. A polynomial algorithm to characterize the efficient location point set on the network is developed. Furthermore, this model can generalize other problems such as the multicriteria center problem and the multicriteria median problem. Computing time results on random planar networks considering different combinations of weights and lengths are reported, which strengthen the polynomial complexity of the procedure.
