The Windy General Routing Polyhedron: A Global View of Many Known Arc Routing Polyhedra
The Windy Postman Problem consists of finding a minimum cost traversal of all the edges of an undirected graph with two costs associated with each edge, representing the costs of traversing it in each direction. In this paper we deal with the Windy General Routing Problem (WGRP), in which only a subset of edges must be traversed and a subset of vertices must be visited. This is also an NP-hard ...
متن کاملThe mixed general routing polyhedron
In Arc Routing Problems, ARPs, the aim is to find on a graph a minimum cost traversal satisfying some conditions related to the links of the graph. Due to restrictions to traverse some streets in a specified way, most applications of ARPs must be modeled with a mixed graph. Although several exact algorithms have been proposed, no polyhedral investigations have been done for ARPs on a mixed grap...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Mixed, Windy, and Capacitated Arc Routing Problems
We show that any α(n)-approximation algorithm for the n-vertex metric asymmetric Traveling Salesperson problem yields O(α(C))-approximation algorithms for various mixed, windy, and capacitated arc routing problems. Herein, C is the number of weakly-connected components in the subgraph induced by the positive-demand arcs, a number that can be expected to be small in applications. In conjunction ...
متن کاملTheory and Methodology The general routing polyhedron: A unifying framework
It is shown how to transform the General Routing Problem (GRP) into a variant of the Graphical Travelling Salesman Problem (GTSP). This transformation yields a projective characterisation of the GRP polyhedron. Using this characterisation, it is shown how to convert facets of the GTSP polyhedron into valid inequalities for the GRP polyhedron. The resulting classes of inequalities subsume severa...
متن کاملA parameterized approximation algorithm for the mixed and windy capacitated arc routing problem: Theory and experiments
We prove that any polynomial-time α(n)-approximation algorithm for the n-vertex metric asymmetric Traveling Salesperson Problem yields a polynomial-time O(α(C))-approximation algorithm for the mixed and windy Capacitated Arc Routing Problem, where C is the number of weakly connected components in the subgraph induced by the positive-demand arcs—a small number in many applications. In conjunctio...
