Integer programming formulations for the elementary shortest path problem
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a directed graph G = (V,A) with arbitrary arc costs, the Elementary Shortest Path Problem (ESPP) consists of finding a minimum-cost path between two nodes s and t such that each node of G is visited at most once. If negative costs are allowed, the problem is NP-hard. In this paper, several integer programming formulations for the ESPP are compared. We present analytical results based on a polyhedral study of the formulations, and computational experiments where we compare their linear programming relaxation bounds and their behavior within a branch-and-cut framework. The computational results show that a formulation with dynamically generated cutset inequalities is the most effective.

Two optimal algorithms for finding bi-directional shortest path design problem in a block layout
In this paper, Shortest Path Design Problem (SPDP) in which the path is incident to all cells is considered. The bi-directional path is one of the known types of configuration of networks for Automated Guided Vehi-cles (AGV).To solve this problem, two algorithms are developed. For each algorithm an Integer Linear Pro-gramming (ILP) is determined. The objective functions of both algorithms are t...
متن کاملEnhanced compact models for the connected subgraph problem and for the shortest path problem in digraphs with negative cycles
We investigate the minimum-weight connected subgraph problem. The importance of this problem stems from the fact that it constitutes the backbone of many network design problems having applications in several areas including telecommunication, energy, and distribution planning. We show that this problem is NP-hard, an we propose a new polynomial-size nonlinear mixed-integer programming model. W...

متن کاملFPT-algorithms for The Shortest Lattice Vector and Integer Linear Programming Problems
In this paper, we present FPT-algorithms for special cases of the shortest vector problem (SVP) and the integer linear programming problem (ILP), when matrices included to the problems’ formulations are near square. The main parameter is the maximal absolute value of rank minors of matrices included to the problem formulation. Additionally, we present FPT-algorithms with respect to the same mai...
