In this note, we prove that both problems studied by Cheng et al. [Cheng, T. C. E., Hsu, C.-J., & Yang, D.-L. (2011). Unrelated parallel-machine scheduling with deteriorating maintenance activities. Computers and Industrial Engineering, 60, 602–605] can be solved in O(nm+3) time no matter what the processing time of a job after a maintenance activity is greater or less than its processing time before the maintenance activity, where m is the number of machines and n is the number of jobs. 相似文献

We study scheduling problems with two competing agents, sharing the same machines. All the jobs of both agents have identical processing times and a common due date. Each agent needs to process a set of jobs, and has his own objective function. The objective of the first agent is total weighted earliness–tardiness, whereas the objective of the second agent is maximum weighted deviation from the common due date. Our goal is to minimize the objective of the first agent, subject to an upper bound on the objective value of the second agent. We consider a single machine, and parallel (both identical and uniform) machine settings. An optimal solution in all cases is shown to be obtained in polynomial time by solving a number of linear assignment problems. We show that the running times of the single and the parallel identical machine algorithms are O(nm+3), where n is the number of jobs and m is the number of machines. The algorithm for solving the problem on parallel uniform machine requires O(nm+3m3) time, and under very reasonable assumptions on the machine speeds, is reduced to O(nm+3). Since the number of machines is given, these running times are polynomial in the number of jobs. 相似文献

Given a graph G=(V,E) with n vertices and m edges, and a subset T of k vertices called terminals, the Edge (respectively, Vertex) Multiterminal Cut problem is to find a set of at most l edges (non-terminal vertices), whose removal from G separates each terminal from all the others. These two problems are NP-hard for k≥3 but well-known to be polynomial-time solvable for k=2 by the flow technique. In this paper, based on a notion farthest minimum isolating cut, we design several simple and improved algorithms for Multiterminal Cut. We show that Edge Multiterminal Cut can be solved in O(2 l kT(n,m)) time and Vertex Multiterminal Cut can be solved in O(k l T(n,m)) time, where T(n,m)=O(min?(n 2/3,m 1/2)m) is the running time of finding a minimum (s,t) cut in an unweighted graph. Furthermore, the running time bounds of our algorithms can be further reduced for small values of k: Edge 3-Terminal Cut can be solved in O(1.415 l T(n,m)) time, and Vertex {3,4,5,6}-Terminal Cuts can be solved in O(2.059 l T(n,m)), O(2.772 l T(n,m)), O(3.349 l T(n,m)) and O(3.857 l T(n,m)) time respectively.

We show that the 3-colorability problem can be solved in O(n1.296) time on any n-vertex graph with minimum degree at least 15. This algorithm is obtained by constructing a dominating set of the graph greedily, enumerating all possible 3-colorings of the dominating set, and then solving the resulting 2-list coloring instances in polynomial time. We also show that a 3-coloring can be obtained in 2o(n) time for graphs having minimum degree at least ω(n) where ω(n) is any function which goes to ∞. We also show that if the lower bound on minimum degree is replaced by a constant (however large it may be), then neither a 2o(n) time nor a 2o(m) time algorithm is possible (m denotes the number of edges) for 3-colorability unless Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) fails. We also describe an algorithm which obtains a 4-coloring of a 3-colorable graph in O(n1.2535) time. 相似文献

In various real life scheduling systems job processing times vary according to the number of jobs previously processed. The vast majority of studies assume a restrictive functional form to describe job processing times. In this note, we address a scheduling problem with the most general job processing time functions. The machine setting assumed is an m-machine proportionate flowshop, and the objective function is minimum number of tardy jobs. We show that the problem can be formulated as a bottleneck assignment problem with a maximum cardinality constraint. An efficient polynomial time (O(n4 log n)) solution is introduced. 相似文献

We investigate the complexity of merging sequences of small integers on the EREW PRAM. Our most surprising result is that two sorted sequences ofn bits each can be merged inO(log logn) time. More generally, we describe an algorithm to merge two sorted sequences ofn integers drawn from the set {0, ...,m?1} inO(log logn+log min{n, m}) time with an optimal time-processor product. No sublogarithmic-time merging algorithm for this model of computation was previously known. On the other hand, we show a lower bound of Ω(log min{n, m}) on the time needed to merge two sorted sequences of lengthn each with elements drawn from the set {0, ...,m?1}, implying that our merging algorithm is as fast as possible form=(logn)Ω(1). If we impose an additional stability condition requiring the elements of each input sequence to appear in the same order in the output sequence, the time complexity of the problem becomes Θ(logn), even form=2. Stable merging is thus harder than nonstable merging. 相似文献

We consider a simple directed network. Results of Karzanov, Even, and Tarjan show that the blocking flow method constructs a maximum integer flow in this network in O(m min (m 1/2, n 2/3)) time (hereinafter, n denotes the number of nodes, and m the number of arcs or edges). For the bidirected case, Gabow proposed a reduction to solve the maximum integer flow problem in O(m 3/2) time. We show that, with a variant of the blocking flow method, this problem can also be solved in O(mn 2/3) time. Hence, the gap between the complexities of directed and bidirected cases is eliminated. Our results are described in the equivalent terms of skew-symmetric networks. To obtain the time bound of O(mn 2/3), we prove that the value of an integer s-s′ flow in a skew-symmetric network without parallel arcs does not exceed O(Un 2/d 2), where d is the length of the shortest regular s-s′ path in the split network and U is the maximum arc capacity. We also show that any acyclic integer flow of value v in a skew-symmetric network without parallel arcs can be positive on at most O(n√v) arcs. 相似文献

In this paper we present unified methods to solve the minus and signed total domination problems for chordal bipartite graphs and trees in O(n2) and O(n+m) time, respectively. We also prove that the decision problem for the signed total domination problem on doubly chordal graphs is NP-complete. Note that bipartite permutation graphs, biconvex bipartite graphs, and convex bipartite graphs are subclasses of chordal bipartite graphs. 相似文献

Given a directed, non-negatively weighted graph G=(V,E) and s,t∈V, we consider two problems. In the k simple shortest paths problem, we want to find the k simple paths from s to t with the k smallest weights. In the replacement paths problem, we want the shortest path from s to t that avoids e, for every edge e in the original shortest path from s to t. The best known algorithm for the k simple shortest paths problem has a running of O(k(mn+n2logn)). For the replacement paths problem the best known result is the trivial one running in time O(mn+n2logn).In this paper we present two simple algorithms for the replacement paths problem and the k simple shortest paths problem in weighted directed graphs (using a solution of the All Pairs Shortest Paths problem). The running time of our algorithm for the replacement paths problem is O(mn+n2loglogn). For the k simple shortest paths we will perform O(k) iterations of the second simple shortest path (each in O(mn+n2loglogn) running time) using a useful property of Roditty and Zwick [L. Roditty, U. Zwick, Replacement paths and k simple shortest paths in unweighted directed graphs, in: Proc. of International Conference on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP), 2005, pp. 249-260]. These running times immediately improve the best known results for both problems over sparse graphs.Moreover, we prove that both the replacement paths and the k simple shortest paths (for constant k) problems are not harder than APSP (All Pairs Shortest Paths) in weighted directed graphs. 相似文献

The longest common subsequence and sequence alignment problems have been studied extensively and they can be regarded as the relationship measurement between sequences. However, most of them treat sequences evenly or consider only two sequences. Recently, with the rise of whole-genome duplication research, the doubly conserved synteny relationship among three sequences should be considered. It is a brand new model to find a merging way for understanding the interleaving relationship of sequences. Here, we define the merged LCS problem for measuring the interleaving relationship among three sequences. An O(n3) algorithm is first proposed for solving the problem, where n is the sequence length. We further discuss the variant version of this problem with the block information. For the blocked merged LCS problem, we propose an algorithm with time complexity O(n2m), where m is the number of blocks. An improved O(n2+nm2) algorithm is further proposed for the same blocked problem. 相似文献

We show an O?(n(?+1))-time algorithm for the channel assignment problem, where ? is the maximum edge weight. This improves on the previous O?(n(?+2))-time algorithm by Král (2005) [1], as well as algorithms for important special cases, like L(2,1)-labeling. For the latter problem, our algorithm works in O?(n3) time. The progress is achieved by applying the fast zeta transform in combination with the inclusion-exclusion principle. 相似文献

Efficient and practical algorithms for maintaining general B-trees on an EREW PRAM are presented. Given a B-tree of order b with m distinct records, the search (respectively, insert and delete) problem for n input keys is solved on an n-processor EREW PRAM in O(log n + b logb m) (respectively, O(b(log n + logb m)) and O(b2(logb n + logb m))) time. 相似文献

Suffix tree, suffix array, and directed acyclic word graph (DAWG) are data-structures for indexing a text. Although they enable efficient pattern matching, their data-structures require O(nlogn) bits, which make them impractical to index long text like human genome. Recently, the development of compressed data-structures allow us to simulate suffix tree and suffix array using O(n) bits. However, there is still no O(n)-bit data-structure for DAWG with full functionality. This work introduces an $n(H_{k}(\overline{S})+ 2 H_{0}^{*}(\mathcal {T}_{\overline{S}}))+o(n)$ -bit compressed data-structure for simulating DAWG (where $H_{k}(\overline{S})$ and $H_{0}^{*}(\mathcal{T}_{\overline{S}})$ are the empirical entropies of the reversed sequence and the reversed suffix tree topology, respectively.) Besides, we also propose an application of DAWG to improve the time complexity for the local alignment problem. In this application, the previously proposed solutions using BWT (a version of compressed suffix array) run in O(n 2 m) worst case time and O(n 0.628 m) average case time where n and m are the lengths of the database and the query, respectively. Using compressed DAWG proposed in this paper, the problem can be solved in O(nm) worst case time and the same average case time. 相似文献

A graph G is said to be a bicluster graph if G is a disjoint union of bicliques (complete bipartite subgraphs), and a cluster graph if G is a disjoint union of cliques (complete subgraphs). In this work, we study the parameterized versions of the NP-hard Bicluster Graph Editing and Cluster Graph Editing problems. The former consists of obtaining a bicluster graph by making the minimum number of modifications in the edge set
of an input bipartite graph. When at most k modifications are allowed (Bicluster(k) Graph Editing problem), this problem is FPT, and can be solved in O(4
k
nm) time by a standard search tree algorithm. We develop an algorithm of time complexity O(4
k
+n+m), which uses a strategy based on modular decomposition techniques; we slightly generalize the original problem as the input
graph is not necessarily bipartite. The algorithm first builds a problem kernel with O(k
2) vertices in O(n+m) time, and then applies a bounded search tree. We also show how this strategy based on modular decomposition leads to a new
way of obtaining a problem kernel with O(k
2) vertices for the Cluster(k) Graph Editing problem, in O(n+m) time. This problem consists of obtaining a cluster graph by modifying at most k edges in an input graph. A previous FPT algorithm of time O(1.92

A polynomial algorithm for the multiple bounded knapsack problem with divisible item sizes is presented. The complexity of the algorithm is O(n2+nm), where n and m are the number of different item sizes and knapsacks, respectively. It is also shown that the algorithm complexity reduces to O(nlogn+nm) when a single copy exists of each item. 相似文献

Given a polygonal curve P =[p1, p2, . . . , pn], the polygonal approximation problem considered calls for determining a new curve P′ = [p′1, p′2, . . . , p′m] such that (i) m is significantly smaller than n, (ii) the vertices of P′ are an ordered subset of the vertices of P, and (iii) any line segment [p′A, p′A + 1 of P′ that substitutes a chain [pB, . . . , pC] in P is such that for all i where B ≤ i ≤ C, the approximation error of pi with respect to [p′A, p′A + 1], according to some specified criterion and metric, is less than a predetermined error tolerance. Using the parallel-strip error criterion, we study the following problems for a curve P in Rd, where d = 2, 3: (i) minimize m for a given error tolerance and (ii) given m, find the curve P′ that has the minimum approximation error over all curves that have at most m vertices. These problems are called the min-# and min-ϵ problems, respectively. For R2 and with any one of the L1, L2, or L∞ distance metrics, we give algorithms to solve the min-# problem in O(n2) time and the min-ϵ problem in O(n2 log n) time, improving the best known algorithms to date by a factor of log n. When P is a polygonal curve in R3 that is strictly monotone with respect to one of the three axes, we show that if the L1 and L∞ metrics are used then the min-# problem can be solved in O(n2) time and the min-ϵ problem can be solved in O(n3) time. If distances are computed using the L2 metric then the min-# and min-ϵ problems can be solved in O(n3) and O(n3 log n) time, respectively. All of our algorithms exhibit O(n2) space complexity. Finally, we show that if it is not essential to minimize m, simple modifications of our algorithms afford a reduction by a factor of n for both time and space. 相似文献

We address the problem of minimizing power consumption when broadcasting a message from one node to all the other nodes in a radio network. To enable power savings for such a problem, we introduce a compelling new data streaming problem which we call the Bad Santa problem. Our results on this problem apply for any situation where: (1) a node can listen to a set of n nodes, out of which at least half are non-faulty and know the correct message; and (2) each of these n nodes sends according to some predetermined schedule which assigns each of them its own unique time slot. In this situation, we show that in order to receive the correct message with probability 1, it is necessary and sufficient for the listening node to listen to a \(\Theta(\sqrt{n})\) expected number of time slots. Moreover, if we allow for repetitions of transmissions so that each sending node sends the message O(log?? n) times (i.e. in O(log?? n) rounds each consisting of the n time slots), then listening to O(log?? n) expected number of time slots suffices. We show that this is near optimal.We describe an application of our result to the popular grid model for a radio network. Each node in the network is located on a point in a two dimensional grid, and whenever a node sends a message m, all awake nodes within L ∞ distance r receive m. In this model, up to \(t<\frac{r}{2}(2r+1)\) nodes within any 2r+1 by 2r+1 square in the grid can suffer Byzantine faults. Moreover, we assume that the nodes that suffer Byzantine faults are chosen and controlled by an adversary that knows everything except for the random bits of each non-faulty node. This type of adversary models worst-case behavior due to malicious attacks on the network; mobile nodes moving around in the network; or static nodes losing power or ceasing to function. Let n=r(2r+1). We show how to solve the broadcast problem in this model with each node sending and receiving an expected \(O(n\log^{2}{|m|}+\sqrt{n}|m|)\) bits where |m| is the number of bits in m, and, after broadcasting a fingerprint of m, each node is awake only an expected \(O(\sqrt{n})\) time slots. Moreover, for t≤(1?ε)(r/2)(2r+1), for any constant ε>0, we can achieve an even better energy savings. In particular, if we allow each node to send O(log?? n) times, we achieve reliable broadcast with each node sending O(nlog?2|m|+(log?? n)|m|) bits and receiving an expected O(nlog?2|m|+(log?? n)|m|) bits and, after broadcasting a fingerprint of m, each node is awake for only an expected O(log?? n) time slots. Our results compare favorably with previous protocols that required each node to send Θ(|m|) bits, receive Θ(n|m|) bits and be awake for Θ(n) time slots. 相似文献

Finding a dominating set of minimum cardinality is an NP-hard graph problem, even when the graph is bipartite. In this paper we are interested in solving the problem on graphs having a large independent set. Given a graph G with an independent set of size z, we show that the problem can be solved in time O∗(2n−z), where n is the number of vertices of G. As a consequence, our algorithm is able to solve the dominating set problem on bipartite graphs in time O∗(2n/2). Another implication is an algorithm for general graphs whose running time is O(n1.7088). 相似文献
