متن کاملTwo Linear Time Algorithms for Mst on Minor Closed Graph Classes
This article presents two simple deterministic algorithms for finding the Minimum Spanning Tree in O(|V |+ |E|) time for any non-trivial class of graphs closed on graph minors. This applies in particular to planar graphs and graphs of bounded genus. Both algorithms run on a pointer machine and they require no a priori knowledge of the structure of the class except for its density. Edge weights ...
متن کاملParametric and Kinetic Minimum Spanning Trees
We consider the parametric minimum spanning tree problem, in which we are given a graph with edge weights that are linear functions of a parameter λ and wish to compute the sequence of minimum spanning trees generated as λ varies. We also consider the kinetic minimum spanning tree problem, in which λ represents time and the graph is subject in addition to changes such as edge insertions, deleti...
متن کاملApproximation Schemes for Minimum 2-Connected Spanning Subgraphs in Weighted Planar Graphs
We present new approximation schemes for various classical problems of finding the minimum-weight spanning subgraph in edgeweighted undirected planar graphs that are resistant to edge or vertex removal. We first give a PTAS for the problem of finding minimum-weight 2-edge-connected spanning subgraphs where duplicate edges are allowed. Then we present a new greedy spanner construction for edge-w...
متن کاملA Metaheuristic Algorithm for the Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Tree Problem
The routing cost of a spanning tree in a weighted and connected graph is defined as the total length of paths between all pairs of vertices. The objective of the minimum routing cost spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree such that its routing cost is minimum. This is an NP-Hard problem that we present a GRASP with path-relinking metaheuristic algorithm for it. GRASP is a multi-start ...
