Dual Based Procedures for Un-Capacitated Minimum Cost Flow Problem

چکیده
In this article, we devise two dual based methods for obtaining very good solution to a single stage un-capacitated minimum cost flow problem. These methods are an improvement to the methods already developed by Sharma and Saxena [1]. We further develop a method to extract a very good primal solution from a given dual solution. We later demonstrate the efficacies and the significance of these methods on 150 random problems.

A unified framework for primal-dual methods in minimum cost network flow problems
We introduce a broad class of algorithms for finding a minimum cost flow in a capacitated network. The algorithms are of the primal-dual type. They maintain primat feasibility with respect to capacity constraints, while trying to satisfy the conservation of flow equation at each node by means of a wide variety of procedures based on flow augmentation, price adjustment, and ascent of a dual func...

A Fuzzy Random Minimum Cost Network Flow Programming Problem
In this paper, a fuzzy random minimum cost flow problem is presented. In this problem, cost parameters and decision variables are fuzzy random variables and fuzzy numbers respectively. The object of the problem is to find optimal flows of a capacitated network. Then, two algorithms are developed to solve the problem based on Er-expected value of fuzzy random variables and chance-constrained pro...
متن کاملA Polynomial-time Algorithm for the Generalized Independent-flow Problem
We consider a compound problem of the generalized minimum-cost flow problem and the independent-flow problem, which we call the generalized independent-flow problem. The generalized minimumcost flow problem is to find a minimum-cost flow in a capacitated network with gains, where each arc flow is multiplied by a gain factor when going through an arc. On the other hand, the independent-flow prob...
متن کاملA Faster Strongly Polynomial Minimum Cost Flow Algorithm
In this paper, we present a new strongly polynomial time algorithm for the minimum cost flow problem, based on a refinement of the Edmonds-Karp scaling technique. Our algorithm solves the uncapacitated minimum cost flow problem as a sequence of O(n log n) shortest path problems on networks with n nodes and m arcs and runs in O(n log n (m + n log n)) time. Using a standard transformation, thjis ...
