A polynomial time algorithm for obtaining minimum edge ranking on two-connected outerplanar graphs

An edge ranking of a graph G is a labeling r of its edges with positive integers such that every path between two different edges eu, ev with the same rank r(eu)=r(ev) contains an intermediate edge ew with rank r(ew)>r(eu). An edge ranking of G is minimum if the largest rank k assigned is the smallest among all rankings of G. The edge ranking problem is to find a minimum edge ranking of given graph G. This problem is NP-hard and no polynomial time algorithm for solving it is known for non-trivial classes of graphs other than the class of trees. In this paper, we first show, on a general graph G, a relation between a minimum edge ranking of G and its minimal cuts, which ensures that we can obtain a polynomial time algorithm for obtaining minimum edge ranking of a given graph G if minimal cuts for each subgraph of G can be found in polynomial time and the number of those is polynomial. Based on this relation, we develop a polynomial time algorithm for finding a minimum edge ranking on a 2-connected outerplanar graph.     

A polynomial time algorithm for an exact encoding of space containing

We address the problem of collision free navigation of a point robot among polygonal obstacles in a bounded known terrain in two dimensional space. The obstacles could be convex or concave polygons. We consider a combinatorial approach to the problem and focus on partitioning the terrain into distinct regions and encoding these regions. We then build a region-graph whose nodes represent the regions and every pair of neighbouring regions (nodes) are connected by an edge. We propose an o(n ₄) preprocessing algorithm to do this. This converts the problem of navigation from a source point to a destination point into a problem of finding a path in a planar graph from one of its nodes to another in O (n ₂ log n) time. The shortest path is derivable in 0(n ₄) time. The extension of the algorithm for three-dimensional space is also discussed.

A decomposition based memetic algorithm for multi-objective vehicle routing problem with time windows

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) provides an excellent algorithmic framework for solving multi-objective optimization problems. It decomposes a target problem into a set of scalar sub-problems and optimizes them simultaneously. Due to its simplicity and outstanding performance, MOEA/D has been widely studied and applied. However, for solving the multi-objective vehicle routing problem with time windows (MO-VRPTW), MOEA/D faces a difficulty that many sub-problems have duplicated best solutions. It is well-known that MO-VRPTW is a challenging problem and has very few Pareto optimal solutions. To address this problem, a novel selection operator is designed in this work to enhance the original MOEA/D for dealing with MO-VRPTW. Moreover, three local search methods are introduced into the enhanced algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can obtain highly competitive results on Solomon׳s benchmark problems. Especially for instances with long time windows, the proposed algorithm can obtain more diverse set of non-dominated solutions than the other algorithms. The effectiveness of the proposed selection operator is also demonstrated by further analysis.     

A polynomial time algorithm to detect PQI interval orders

Let S be a P Q I preference structure on a finite set A , where the relations P , Q , I stand for 'strict preference', 'weak preference' and 'indifference,' respectively. Two specific preference structures: P Q I semi orders and P Q I interval orders, have been considered and characterised recently in such a way that is possible to associate to each element of A an interval such that P holds when one interval is completely to the right of the other, I holds when one interval is included to the other and Q holds when one interval is to the right of the other, but they do have a non empty intersection ( Q medelling the hesitation). While the detection of a P Q I semiorder is straightforward, the case of the P Q I interval order is more difficult as the theorem of existence consists in a second-order formula. The paper presents an algorithm for detecting a P Q I interval order and demonstrates that it is backtracking free. This result leads to a matrix version of the algorithm which can be proved to be polynomial.

In addition to simplicity the algorithm possesses the virtue of affording a very easy proof of correctness. Some applications where this problem arises are mentioned.

A genetic algorithm for the simultaneous delivery and pickup problems with time window

This paper concerns a Simultaneous Delivery and Pickup Problem with Time Windows (SDPPTW). A mixed binary integer programming model was developed for the problem and was validated. Due to its NP nature, a co-evolution genetic algorithm with variants of the cheapest insertion method was proposed to speed up the solution procedure. Since there were no existing benchmarks, this study generated some test problems which revised from the well-known Solomon’s benchmark for Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). From the comparison with the results of Cplex software and the basic genetic algorithm, the proposed algorithm showed that it can provide better solutions within a comparatively shorter period of time.
