We consider the following problem: given a set of points in the plane, each with a weight, and capacities of the four quadrants, assign each point to one of the quadrants such that the total weight of points assigned to a quadrant does not exceed its capacity, and the total distance is minimized.
This problem is most important in placement of VLSI circuits and is likely to have other applications. It is NP-hard, but the fractional relaxation always has an optimal solution which is “almost” integral. Hence for large instances, it suffices to solve the fractional relaxation. The main result of this paper is a linear-time algorithm for this relaxation. It is based on a structure theorem describing optimal solutions by so-called “American maps” and makes sophisticated use of binary search techniques and weighted median computations.
This algorithm is a main subroutine of a VLSI placement tool that is used for the design of many of the most complex chips. 相似文献
This paper deals with the existence of curved front solution of a partial differential equation coming from a mathematical model of stroke. The equation is of reaction-diffusion type in a cylinder of radius R and of diffusion and absorption type outside of the cylinder. We prove the nonexistence of a travelling front when R is small enough and the existence if R is large enough using a recent energy method. We construct the travelling front as the limit in time of a solution with a well-chosen initial condition, in a travelling referential. 相似文献
The aim of this paper is to propose an algorithm based on the philosophy of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) to solve Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problems with Time Windows. The paper has two main contributions. First, from a technical point of view, it presents the first application of a VNS for this problem and several design issues of VNS algorithms are discussed. Second, from a problem oriented point of view the computational results show that the approach is competitive with an existing Tabu Search algorithm with respect to both solution quality and computation times. 相似文献
Many algorithms have been proposed to form manufacturing cells from component routings. However, many of these do not have the capability of solving large problems. We propose a procedure using similarity coefficients and a parallel genetic implementation of a TSP algorithm that is capable of solving large problems of up to 1000 parts and 1000 machines. In addition, we also compare our procedure with many existing procedures using nine well-known problems from the literature.
The results show that the proposed procedure compares well with the existing procedures and should be useful to practitioners and researchers. 相似文献
Let F be a function field of characteristic p > 2, finitely generated over a field C algebraic over a finite field Cp and such that it has an extension of degree p. Then Hilbert's Tenth Problem is not decidable over F. 相似文献
Zusammenfassung. Optimale Quantisierungen oder – damit ?quivalent – minimale Summen von Momenten spielen in mehreren Zweigen der Mathematik
und ihrer Anwendungen eine Rolle. Ausgehend von der Fejes Tóth'schen Ungleichung für Summen von Momenten in der euklidischen
Ebene und einem zugeh?rigen Stabilit?tssatz, werden gewisse Erweiterungen auf normierte R?ume und riemannsche Mannigfaltigkeiten
h?herer Dimension besprochen. Die Ergebnisse werden dann auf Probleme aus folgenden Bereichen angewendet: (i) Datenübertragung,
(ii) Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie, (iii) numerische Integration, (iv) Approximation konvexer K?rper und (v) isoperimetrische
Probleme.

Where there is abundance of mystery and confusion in every direction, the truth seldom remains hidden for long. It's a matter of having plenty of angles to go at it from. Only the utterly simple crimes - the simplex crimes, you may say - have the trick of remaining baffling. - Sir John (from Michael Innes,The Open House (A Sir John Appleby Mystery), Penguin Books, 1974).A dual simplex method for the assignment problem leaves open to choice the activity (i,j) of rowi and columnj that is to be dropped in pivoting so long asxij < 0. A choice (i,j) over columnsj having at least 3 basic activities that minimizesxij is shown to converge in at most (
2n-1
) pivots, and at most O(n3) time, and it is argued that on average the number of pivots is at mostn logn.
