Let G=(V,E) be a connected multigraph, whose edges are associated with labels specified by an integer-valued function ℒ:E→ℕ. In addition, each label ℓ∈ℕ has a non-negative cost c(ℓ). The minimum label spanning tree problem (MinLST) asks to find a spanning tree in G that minimizes the overall cost of the labels used by its edges. Equivalently, we aim at finding a minimum cost subset of
labels I⊆ℕ such that the edge set {e∈E:ℒ(e)∈I} forms a connected subgraph spanning all vertices. Similarly, in the minimum label

path problem (MinLP) the goal is to identify an s–t path minimizing the combined cost of its labels. The main contributions of this paper are improved approximation algorithms
and hardness results for MinLST and MinLP. 相似文献

Bridgecard is a classical trick-taking game utilizing a standard 52-card deck, in which four players in two competing partnerships attempt to “win” each round, i.e. trick. Existing theories and analysis have already attempted to show correlations between system designs and other technical issues with parts of the game, specifically the “Bidding” phase, but this paper will be the first to attempt to initiate a theoretical study on this game by formulating it into an optimization problem. This paper will provide both an analysis of the computational complexity of the problem, and propose exact, as well as, approximation algorithms. 相似文献

Given a list of vectors that contains directions of the edges of a given polytope ℘ and the availability of an algorithm that
solves linear programs over ℘, we describe a method for enumerating the vertices of ℘; in particular, the method is adaptable
to polytopes which are presented as (linear) projections of polytopes having linear inequality representation. Polynomial
complexity bounds under both the real and the binary computation models are derived when the dimension of the polytope is
fixed and the given LP algorithm is polynomial.

This paper considers a single-machine scheduling problem to minimize the maximum lateness. The processing time of each job is a linear function of the time when the job starts processing. This problem is known to be
-hard in the literature. In this paper, we design a branch-and-bound algorithm for deriving exact solutions by incorporating several properties concerning dominance relations and lower bounds. These properties produce synergic effects in accelerating the solution finding process such that the algorithm can solve problems of 100 jobs within 1 min on average. To compose approximate solutions, we revise a heuristic algorithm available in the literature and propose several hybrid variants. Numerical results evince that the proposed approaches are very effective in successfully reporting optimal solutions for most of the test cases. 相似文献

Let G be a nontrivial connected graph of order n and let k be an integer with 2??k??n. For a set S of k vertices of G, let ??(S) denote the maximum number ? of edge-disjoint trees T 1,T 2,??,T ? in G such that V(T i )??V(T j )=S for every pair i,j of distinct integers with 1??i,j???. Chartrand et al. generalized the concept of connectivity as follows: The k-connectivity, denoted by ?? k (G), of G is defined by ?? k (G)=min{??(S)}, where the minimum is taken over all k-subsets S of V(G). Thus ?? 2(G)=??(G), where ??(G) is the connectivity of G, for which there are polynomial-time algorithms to solve it. This paper mainly focus on the complexity of determining the generalized connectivity of a graph. At first, we obtain that for two fixed positive integers k 1 and k 2, given a graph G and a k 1-subset S of V(G), the problem of deciding whether G contains k 2 internally disjoint trees connecting S can be solved by a polynomial-time algorithm. Then, we show that when k 1 is a fixed integer of at least 4, but k 2 is not a fixed integer, the problem turns out to be NP-complete. On the other hand, when k 2 is a fixed integer of at least 2, but k 1 is not a fixed integer, we show that the problem also becomes NP-complete. 相似文献

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming an attractive alternative to gasoline vehicles owing to the increase of greenhouse gas emissions and gasoline prices. EVs are also expected to function as battery storages for stabilizing large fluctuations in the power grid through the vehicle-to-grid power system, which requires smart charge and discharge scheduling algorithms. In this paper, we develop a linear programming based heuristic algorithm on a time–space network model for charge and discharge scheduling of EVs. We also develop an improved two-stage heuristic algorithm to cope with uncertain demands and departure times of EVs, and evaluate the effect of the smart charge and discharge scheduling of EVs on a peak load reduction in a building energy management system. 相似文献

Performance rating and comparison of a group of entities is frequently based on the values of several attributes. Such evaluations are often complicated by the absence of a natural or obvious way to weight the importance of the individual dimensions of the performance. This paper proposes a framework based on nonparametric frontiers to rate and classify entities described by multiple performance attributes into ‘performers’ and ‘underperformers’. The method is equivalent to Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with entities defined only by outputs. In the spirit of DEA, the weights for each attribute are selected to maximize each entity’s performance score. This approach, however, results in a new linear program that is more direct and intuitive than traditional DEA formulations. The model can be easily understood and interpreted by practitioners since it conforms better to the practice of evaluating and comparing performance using standard specifications. We illustrate the model’s use with two examples. The first evaluates the performance of employees. The second is an application in manufacturing where multiple quality attributes are used to assess and compare performance of different manufacturing processes. 相似文献

This paper analyses Top Management Team (TMT) composition diversity as an antecedent of firm performance in accordance with a recent paradigm based on Complexity Theory. Research into TMT diversity is commonly seen as a double-edged sword because inconclusive results have been achieved in prior studies. This controversy has reinforced the call to employ a more appropriate methodology by moving beyond the reliance on multiple regression analysis and towards the use of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. The study provides various TMT diversity configurations that lead to high performance. The study therefore contributes towards the TMT diversity literature by utilising asymmetric testing to advance in the understanding of the diversity of TMT attributes as an antecedent of high firm outcome. The paradigm currently facing TMT internal complexity is doubly relevant for managers, to ascertain the best TMT diversity compositions to achieve the best strategic goal and thereby the highest firm outcome, and for new research avenues in the demographic literature, to obtain richer insights from TMT data, which might provide additional information on the complex relations established within these TMTs. 相似文献

Prior literature is ambivalent about whether organizational complexity has positive or negative effects on firm performance. Using rich data on global service providers, we explore this ambivalence by disentangling performance consequences of different types of organizational complexity. We show that complexity arising from the coordination of different services and operations negatively influences profit margins through increased coordination costs, whereas complexity coming from the sophistication of particular services may positively influence margins through informational advantages. We also investigate the moderating effects of process commoditization and client-specific investments. Our findings point to critical performance dilemmas facing global service providers in a highly competitive industry, and they help better differentiate performance effects of complexity at different organizational levels. 相似文献

Bilevel programming problems provide a framework to deal with decision processes involving two decision makers with a hierarchical structure. They are characterized by the existence of two optimization problems in which the constraint region of the upper level problem is implicitly determined by the lower level optimization problem. This paper focuses on bilevel problems for which the lower level problem is a linear multiobjective program and constraints at both levels define polyhedra. This bilevel problem is reformulated as an optimization problem over a nonconvex region given by a union of faces of the polyhedron defined by all constraints. This reformulation is obtained when dealing with efficient solutions as well as weakly efficient solutions for the lower level problem. Assuming that the upper level objective function is quasiconcave, then an extreme point exists which solves the problem. An exact and a metaheuristic algorithm are developed and their performance is analyzed and compared. 相似文献

A new family of linear programming (LP) discriminant models, the hybrid discriminant model, was recently presented with claims that it avoids all the problems of its predecessor LP models. However, this note shows that it does not avoid unacceptable solutions. 相似文献

In recent years, much research has been done on the application of mathematical programming (MP) techniques to the discriminant problem. While promising results have been obtained, many of these techniques are plagued by a number of problems associated with the model formulation including unbounded, improper, and unacceptable solutions as well as solution instability under linear transformation of the data. In attempting to solve these problems, numerous formulations have been proposec involving additional variables and/or normalization constraints. While effective, these models can also become quite complex. In this paper we demonstrate that a simple, well-known special case of Hand's [13] original formulation provides an implicit normalization which avoids the problems for which various complicated remedies have been devised. While other researchers have made use of this formulation, its properties have not previously been fully recognized. 相似文献
