چکیده

Given a weighted graph G = (V ,E) with a source s and a destination t , a traveler has to go from s to t . However, some of the edges may be blocked at certain times, and the traveler only observes that upon reaching an adjacent site of the blocked edge. Let P = {PG(s, t)} be the set of all paths from s to t . The risk of a path is defined as the longest travel under the assumption that any edge of the path may be blocked. The paper will propose the Anti-risk Path Problem of finding a path PG(s, t) in P such that it has minimum risk. We will show that this problem can be solved in O(mn+ n2 logn) time suppose that at most one edge may be blocked, where n and m denote the number of vertices and edges in G, respectively.

A O(E) Time Shortest Path Algorithm For Non Negative Weighted Undirected Graphs

In most of the shortest path problems like vehicle routing problems and network routing problems, we only need an efficient path between two points—source and destination, and it is not necessary to calculate the shortest path from source to all other nodes. This paper concentrates on this very idea and presents an algorithms for calculating shortest path for (i) nonnegative weighted undirected...

Finding the Anti-block Vital Edge of a Shortest Path Between Two Nodes

Let PG(s, t) denote a shortest path between two nodes s and t in an undirected graph G with nonnegative edge weights. A detour at a node u ∈ PG(s, t) = (s, . . . , u, v, . . . , t) is defined as a shortest path PG−e(u, t) from u to t which does not make use of (u, v). In this paper, we focus on the problem of finding an edge e = (u, v) ∈ PG(s, t) whose removal produces a detour at node u such t...

On computing the diameter of real-world undirected graphs

We propose a new algorithm for the classical problem of computing the diameter of undirected unweighted graphs, namely, the maximum distance among all the pairs of nodes, where the distance of a pair of nodes is the number of edges contained in the shortest path connecting these two nodes. Although its worst-case complexity is O(nm) time, where n is the number of nodes and m is the number of ed...

A successful algorithm for the undirected Hamiltonian path problem

In this piper a polynomial algorithm called the Minram algorithm is presented which finds a Hamiltonian Path in in undirected graph with high frequency of success for graphs up to 1000 nodes. It first reintroduces the concepts described in [13] and then explains the algorithm. Computational comparison with the algorithm by Posa [10] is given. It is shown that a Hamiltonian Path is a spanning ar...

Inapproximability proof of DSTLB and USTLB in planar graphs

This document proves the problem of finding a minimum cost Steiner Tree covering k terminals with at most p branching nodes (with outdegree greater than 1), in a directed or an undirected planar graph with n nodes, is hard to approximate within a better ratio than n, even when the parameter p is fixed. 1 Theorem Definition 1. In a undirected (resp. directed) tree, a branching node is a node who...
