چکیده

a compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. directed hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. sets of extrema of birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours neither in a graph nor its complement and these sets are embedded into disjoint orthogonal spaces as the solution set of a compact formulation. an orthogonal projection of its solution set into the subspace spanned by the birkhoff polytope is the convex hull of all tours neither in a graph nor its complement. it’s suggested that these techniques might be adaptable for application to linear programming models of network and path problems.

Unfolding Convex Polyhedra via Quasigeodesics

We show that cutting shortest paths from every vertex of a convex polyhedron to a simple closed quasigeodesic, and cutting all but a short segment of the quasigeodesic, unfolds the surface to a planar simple polygon.

Majorization, Polyhedra and Statistical Testing Problems. Majorization, Polyhedra and Statistical Testing Problems

There are important connections between majorization and convex polyhedra. Both weak majorization and majorization are preorders related to certain simple convex cones. We investigate the facial structure of a polyhedral cone C associated with a layered directed graph. A generalization of weak majorization based on C is introduced. It de nes a preorder of matrices. An application in statistical...

Shortest Path Routing Modelling, Infeasibility and Polyhedra

The Internet is constantly growing but the available resources, i.e. bandwidth, are limited. Using bandwidth efficiently to provide high quality of service to users is referred to as traffic engineering. This is of utmost importance. Traffic in IP networks is commonly routed along shortest paths with respect to auxiliary link weights, e.g. using the OSPF or IS-IS protocol. Here, shortest path r...

On the Complexity of Optimization Problems for 3-dimensional Convex Polyhedra and Decision Trees

We show that several well-known optimization problems involving 3-dimensional convex polyhedra and decision trees are NP-hard or NP-complete. One of the techniques we employ is a linear-time method for realizing a planar 3-connected triangulation as a convex polyhedron, which may be of independent interest.

Modelling Group Decision Making Problems in Changeable Conditions

The aim of this paper is to present a new group decision making model with two important characteristics: i) we apply mobile technologies in the decision process and ii) the set of alternatives is not constant through time. We implement a prototype of a mobile decision support system based on changeable sets of alternatives. Using their mobile devices (as mobile phones or PDAs), experts can pro...
