The Steiner Traveling Salesman Problem and its extensions

2019

Abstract This paper considers the Steiner Traveling Salesman Problem, an extension of the classical Traveling Salesman Problem on an incomplete graph where not all vertices have demand. Some extensions including several depots or location decisions are introduced, modeled and solved. A compact integer linear programming formulation is proposed for each problem, where the routes are represented with two-index decision variables, and parity conditions are modeled using cocircuit inequalities. Exact branch-and-cut algorithms are developed for all formulations. Computational results obtained confirm the good performance of the algorithms. Instances with up to 500 vertices are solved optimally.

Distance graphs and the T-coloring problem

1999

Abstract The T-coloring problem is, given a graph G = (V, E), a set T of nonnegative integers containing 0, and a ‘span’ bound s ⩾ 0, to compute an integer coloring f of the vertices of G such that |f(ν) − f(w)| ∉ T ∀νw ∈ E and max f − min f ⩽ s. This problem arises in the planning of channel assignments for broadcast networks. When restricted to complete graphs, the T-coloring problem boils down to a number problem which can be solved efficiently for many types of sets T. The paper presents results indicating that this is not the case if the set T is arbitrary. To these ends, the class of distance graphs is introduced, which consists of all graphs G : G ≅ G(A) for some (finite) set of posi…

Finite 2-groups with odd number of conjugacy classes

2016

In this paper we consider finite 2-groups with odd number of real conjugacy classes. On one hand we show that if $k$ is an odd natural number less than 24, then there are only finitely many finite 2-groups with exactly $k$ real conjugacy classes. On the other hand we construct infinitely many finite 2-groups with exactly 25 real conjugacy classes. Both resuls are proven using pro-$p$ techniques and, in particular, we use the Kneser classification of semi-simple $p$-adic algebraic groups.

On the Hierarchy Classes of Finite Ultrametric Automata

2015

This paper explores the language classes that arise with respect to the head count of a finite ultrametric automaton. First we prove that in the one-way setting there is a language that can be recognized by a one-head ultrametric finite automaton and cannot be recognized by any k-head non-deterministic finite automaton. Then we prove that in the two-way setting the class of languages recognized by ultrametric finite k-head automata is a proper subclass of the class of languages recognized by (k + 1)-head automata. Ultrametric finite automata are similar to probabilistic and quantum automata and have only just recently been introduced by Freivalds. We introduce ultrametric Turing machines an…

Degree sequences of highly irregular graphs

1997

AbstractWe call a simple graph highly irregular if each of its vertices is adjacent only to vertices with distinct degrees. In this paper we examine the degree sequences of highly irregular graphs. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of positive integers to be the degree sequence of a highly irregular graph.

Padding and the expressive power of existential second-order logics

1998

Padding techniques are well-known from Computational Complexity Theory. Here, an analogous concept is considered in the context of existential second-order logics. Informally, a graph H is a padded version of a graph G, if H consists of an isomorphic copy of G and some isolated vertices. A set A of graphs is called weakly expressible by a formula ϕ in the presence of padding, if ϕ is able to distinguish between (sufficiently) padded versions of graphs from A and padded versions of graphs that are not in A.

Span-Program-Based Quantum Algorithms for Graph Bipartiteness and Connectivity

2016

Span program is a linear-algebraic model of computation which can be used to design quantum algorithms. For any Boolean function there exists a span program that leads to a quantum algorithm with optimal quantum query complexity. In general, finding such span programs is not an easy task. In this work, given a query access to the adjacency matrix of a simple graph G with n vertices, we provide two new span-program-based quantum algorithms:an algorithm for testing if the graph is bipartite that uses $$On\sqrt{n}$$ quantum queries;an algorithm for testing if the graph is connected that uses $$On\sqrt{n}$$ quantum queries.

Weighted Extrapolation Techniques for Finite Difference Methods on Complex Domains with Cartesian Meshes

2016

The design of numerical boundary conditions in high order schemes is a challenging problem that has been tackled in different ways depending on the nature of the problem and the scheme used to solve it numerically. In this paper we propose a technique to extrapolate the information from the computational domain to ghost cells for schemes with structured Cartesian Meshes on complex domains. This technique is based on the application of Lagrange interpolation with weighted filters for the detection of discontinuities that permits a data dependent extrapolation, with high order at smooth regions and essentially non oscillatory properties near discontinuities. This paper is a sequel of Baeza et…

Approximate convex hull of affine iterated function system attractors

2012

International audience; In this paper, we present an algorithm to construct an approximate convex hull of the attractors of an affine iterated function system (IFS). We construct a sequence of convex hull approximations for any required precision using the self-similarity property of the attractor in order to optimize calculations. Due to the affine properties of IFS transformations, the number of points considered in the construction is reduced. The time complexity of our algorithm is a linear function of the number of iterations and the number of points in the output convex hull. The number of iterations and the execution time increases logarithmically with increasing accuracy. In additio…
