The K-median Problem on a Tree
The polyhedral structure of the K-median problem on a tree is examined. Even for very small connected graphs, we show that additional constraints are needed to describe the integer polytope. We completely characterize those trees for which an optimal integer LP solution is guaranteed to exist. Also, a new and simpler proof of the worst case bound of an LP solution is provided. We find a new cla...
متن کاملA hybrid algorithm for the path center problem
Let a graph G = (V;E) be given. In the path center problem we want to find a path P in G such that the maximum weighted distance of P to every vertex in V is minimized. In this paper a genetic algorithm and ahybrid of genetic and ant colony algorithms are presented for the path center problem. Some test problems are examined to compare the algorithms. The results show that for almost all exampl...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for the Bi-criteria Weighted max-cut Problem
We consider a generalization of the classical max-cut problem where two objective functions are simultaneously considered. We derive some theorems on the existence and the non-existence of feasible cuts that are at the same time near optimal for both criteria. Furthermore, two approximation algorithms with performance guarantee are presented. The first one is deterministic while the second one ...
متن کاملThe Obnoxious Center Problem on a Tree
The obnoxious center problem in a graph G asks for a location on an edge of the graph such that the minimum weighted distance from this point to a vertex of the graph is as large as possible. We derive algorithms with linear running time for the cases when G is a path or a star, thus improving previous results of Tamir. For subdivided stars we present an algorithm of running time O(n log n). Fo...
متن کاملThe approximability of the weighted Hamiltonian path completion problem on a tree
Given a graph, the Hamiltonian path completion problem is to find an augmenting edge set such that the augmented graph has a Hamiltonian path. In this paper, we show that the Hamiltonian path completion problem will unlikely have any constant ratio approximation algorithm unless NP = P. This problem remains hard to approximate even when the given subgraph is a tree. Moreover, if the edge weight...
