چکیده

Given an undirected and vertex weighted graph G, the Weighted Feedback Vertex Problem (WFVP) consists in finding a subset F ⊆ V of vertices of minimum weight such that each cycle in G contains at least one vertex in F . The WFVP on general graphs is known to be NP-hard. In this paper we introduce a new class of graphs, namely the diamond graphs, and give a linear time algorithm to

Minimum Weighted Feedback Vertex Set on Diamonds

Given a vertex weighted graph G, a minimum Weighted Feedback Vertex Set (MWFVS) is a subset F ⊆ V of vertices of minimum weight such that each cycle in G contains at least one vertex in F . The MWFVS on general graph is known to be NP-hard. In this paper we introduce a new class of graphs, namely the diamond graphs, and give a linear time algorithm to solve MWFVS on it. We will discuss, moreove...

A Tabu Search Heuristic Based on k-Diamonds for the Weighted Feedback Vertex Set Problem

Given an undirected and vertex weighted graph G = (V,E,w), the Weighted Feedback Vertex Problem (WFVP) consists of finding a subset F ⊆ V of vertices of minimum weight such that each cycle in G contains at least one vertex in F . The WFVP on general graphs is known to be NP-hard and to be polynomially solvable on some special classes of graphs (e.g., interval graphs, co-comparability graphs, di...

A memetic algorithm for the weighted feedback vertex set problem

Given an undirected and vertex weighted graph G = (V,E,w), the Weighted Feedback Vertex Set Problem consists of finding the subset F ⊆ V of vertices, with minimum weight, whose removal results in an acyclic graph. Finding the minimum feedback vertex set in a graph is an important combinatorial problem that has a variety of real applications. In this paper we introduce a memetic algorithm for th...

0333 - 3590 Improved Algorithms for the Feedback Vertex Set Problems

We present improved parameterized algorithms for the Feedback Vertex Set problem on both unweighted and weighted graphs. Both algorithms run in time O(5kn). For unweighted graphs, our algorithm either constructs a feedback vertex set of size bounded by k in a given graph G, or reports that no such a feedback vertex set exists in G. For weighted graphs, our algorithm either constructs a minimum-...

An Algorithm to find a Minimum Feedback Vertex Set of an Interval Graph

In an undirected graph, the feedback vertex set problem is to find a set of vertices of minimum cardinality whose removal makes the graph acyclic (connected or disconnected). This problem is known to be NP-hard for general graph. In this paper, we proposed two algorithms for finding the minimum feedback vertex set on interval graphs. The first algorithm is for unweighted case and takes O(n + m)...
