Maximum Marking Problems with Accumulative Weight Functions

چکیده
We present a new derivation of efficient algorithms for a class of optimization problems called maximum marking problems. We extend the class of weight functions used in the specification to allow for weight functions with accumulation, which is particularly useful when the weight of each element depends on adjacent elements. This extension of weight functions enables us to treat more interesting optimization problems such as a variant of the maximum segment sum problem and the fair bonus distribution problem. The complexity of the derived algorithm is linear with respect to the size of the input data.

Maximum-Weight Markings in Marked Graphs: Algorithms and .Interpretatibns Based on the Simplex Method
The problem of determining a maximum-weight marking in a marked graph is mathematically dual to the transshipment problem of operations research. The special structure of the transshipment problem facilitates efficient implementation of the simplex method of linear programming, for solving such problems. In this paper, we first show that the maximum-weight marking problem possesses as much stru...
متن کاملOptimal STRIPS Planning by Maximum Satisfiability and Accumulative Learning
Planning as satisfiability (SAT-Plan) is one of the best approaches to optimal planning, which has been shown effective on problems in many different domains. However, the potential of the SAT-Plan strategy has not been fully exploited. Following the SAT-Plan paradigm, in this paper we formulate a STRIPS planning problem as a maximum SAT (max-SAT) and develop a general two-phase algorithm for p...

Low skid resistance of road marking paint is one of the major issues in the safety of vehicle drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians when traveling on the city streets. Among the variety of marking paint, two-component paint is widely used at intersections and roundabouts. Therefore, the paint used should have adequate skid resistance. The object of this study was to evaluat...
متن کاملFabrication of the Cu-Zn multilayer and Cu-Zn alloy by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) with an emphasis on the wear behavior
Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) was used to fabricate the Cu-Zn multilayer and Cu-Zn solid solution. A lamellar structure with the hardness of about 130 VHN was formed after eight ARB cycles. Following to the suitable heat treatment, a solid solution with a uniform microstructure and hardness of about 57 VHN was produced. The dominant wear mechanism in the ARB processed multilayer was found to ...
متن کاملMmpP: Maximum Marking Problems in Parallel
Maximum marking problems (Mmp for short) are to put a mark on the entries of some given data structure in a way such that a given constraint is satisfied and the sum of the weights associated with marked entries is as large as possible. It was shown that the linear time algorithm can be obtained provided that the characterizing function of the constraint is a finite homomorphism. This paper dem...
