A practical three‐phase ILP approach for solving the examination timetabling problem

A practical mathematical programming based approach is introduced for solving the examination timetabling problem at the German Jordanian University (GJU), whereby the complex process of acquiring a feasible examination timetable is simplified by subdividing it into three smaller sub‐problems (phases). Accordingly, the exams are initially allocated to time slots in phase one, the time slots are then allotted to days in phase two, and finally in phase three the exams are assigned to rooms based on the number of students taking each exam and capacities of the rooms. The solution for each phase is acquired based on an integer linear programming (ILP) formulation, while satisfying a set of hard constraints that ensure comfortable exam timetables for all students and meet the desired requirements set by GJU administrative staff. Furthermore, the solver can be controlled and launched from a student information system named MyGJU Admin, which enabled registrars at the university to easily, quickly, and accurately generate final exam timetables in several standard formats. Moreover, the approach was validated based on recent GJU registration information as well as real‐world benchmark data.     

一种新的传感器网络混合广播调度方法

由于传感器网络所使用无线信道的共享性和相互干扰, 节点间数据广播会产生资源冲突, 广播调度要解决的即是为每个节点分配到一个无冲突传输时隙, 其目标是找到最优时分复用(TDMA: time division multiple access)调度解, 使得帧长度最短而信道利用率最大. 提出基于神经网络的两阶段混合广播调度算法. 在阶段一, 使用改进的顶点着色算法来获得调度所需最短时隙数目; 在阶段二, 使用模糊Hopfield网络将节点模糊聚类为M类, 同类 节点可以在同一时隙被调度, 不同类节点必须在不同时

Approximation algorithm for coloring of dotted interval graphs

Dotted interval graphs were introduced by Aumann et al. [Y. Aumann, M. Lewenstein, O. Melamud, R. Pinter, Z. Yakhini, Dotted interval graphs and high throughput genotyping, in: ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, SODA 2005, pp. 339-348] as a generalization of interval graphs. The problem of coloring these graphs found application in high-throughput genotyping. Jiang [M. Jiang, Approximating minimum coloring and maximum independent set in dotted interval graphs, Information Processing Letters 98 (2006) 29-33] improves the approximation ratio of Aumann et al. [Y. Aumann, M. Lewenstein, O. Melamud, R. Pinter, Z. Yakhini, Dotted interval graphs and high throughput genotyping, in: ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, SODA 2005, pp. 339-348]. In this work we improve the approximation ratio of Jiang [M. Jiang, Approximating minimum coloring and maximum independent set in dotted interval graphs, Information Processing Letters 98 (2006) 29-33] and Aumann et al. [Y. Aumann, M. Lewenstein, O. Melamud, R. Pinter, Z. Yakhini, Dotted interval graphs and high throughput genotyping, in: ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, SODA 2005, pp. 339-348]. In the exposition we develop a generalization of the problem of finding the maximum number of non-attacking queens on a triangle.     

Algorithmic Aspects of Acyclic Edge Colorings

Abstract. A proper coloring of the edges of a graph G is called acyclic if there is no two-colored cycle in G . The acyclic edge chromatic number of G , denoted by a'(G) , is the least number of colors in an acyclic edge coloring of G . For certain graphs G , a'(G)\geq Δ(G)+2 where Δ(G) is the maximum degree in G . It is known that a'(G)≤ Δ + 2 for almost all Δ -regular graphs, including all Δ -regular graphs whose girth is at least cΔ log Δ . We prove that determining the acyclic edge chromatic number of an arbitrary graph is an NP-complete problem. For graphs G with sufficiently large girth in terms of Δ(G) , we present deterministic polynomial-time algorithms that color the edges of G acyclically using at most Δ(G)+2 colors.

一种在元素与颜色规模相近时的有效着色算法及其应用

着色算法(color-coding)是求解NP难问题的重要手段之一.而在应用着色算法时,着色算法所产生的着色方案的规模极大地影响着问题的求解性能,故构造一个尽可能小的着色方案是着色算法所寻求的目标.目前存在的着色算法均基于完全散列函数,并要求元素数目n远大于颜色数目k,且k比较小,这个限制条件使得这些着色算法在一些实际情况下无法应用.该文主要研究在元素与颜色规模相近时(n2k)的有效着色算法,并着重分析在n2k情况下着色算法的性能.该文提出了一种基于划分思想的着色方案构造算法PBCC,证明了由PBCC产生的着色方案确实可以覆盖到所有的子集,并具体给出了可应用于(l,d)-(20,16)Motif查找问题的403种着色的构造方法.文章进一步分析了PBCC产生的着色方案规模,并证明了在n2k且n-k2的情况下,任何着色算法所产生的着色方案的规模|S(n,k)|都不小于[n/2 n-k] [[n n-k]-n/2 n-k]2~(n-k)]/(2~(n-k)-2).此外,文中也采用了渐进分析技术,证明了PBCC算法生成着色方案规模为O(e2Rootof(ex-eμx 1)(n-k)),在n=2k的情况下结果是O(2.62n-k);同时,文中也证明了n2k情况下着色方案规模的下界为2n-k.
