Partial Optimal Labeling Search for a NP-Hard Subclass of (max, +) Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
Optimal labeling problems are NP-hard in many practically important cases. Sufficient conditions for optimal label detection in every pixel are formulated. Knowing the values of the optimal labeling in some pixels, as a result of applying the proposed algorithm, allows to decrease the complexity of the original problem essentially.

Generalized Cyclic Open Shop Scheduling and a Hybrid Algorithm
In this paper, we first introduce a generalized version of open shop scheduling (OSS), called generalized cyclic open shop scheduling (GCOSS) and then develop a hybrid method of metaheuristic to solve this problem. Open shop scheduling is concerned with processing n jobs on m machines, where each job has exactly m operations and operation i of each job has to be processed on machine i . However...
متن کاملProposing a Constrained-GSA for the Vehicle Routing Problem
In the past decades, vehicle routing problem (VRP) has gained considerable attention for its applications in industry, military, and transportation applications. Vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery is an extension of the VRP. This problem is an NP-hard problem; hence finding the best solution for this problem which is using exact method, take inappropriate time, and th...
متن کاملBackbone Guided Extremal Optimization for the Hard Maximum Satisfiability Problem
The original Extremal Optimization (EO) algorithm and its modified versions have been successfully applied to a variety of NP-hard optimization problems. However, there exists a problem that almost all existing EO-based algorithms have overlooked the inherent structural properties behind the optimization problems, e.g., the backbone information. This paper proposes a novel stochastic search met...
متن کاملThe Optimization Complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems
In 1978, Schaefer [12] considered a subclass of languages in NP and proved a “dichotomy theorem” for this class. The subclass considered were problems expressible as “constraint satisfaction problems”, and the “dichotomy theorem” showed that every language in this class is either in P, or is NP-hard. This result is in sharp contrast to a result of Ladner [9], which shows that such a dichotomy d...
متن کاملApproximation of some NP-hard optimization problems by finite machines, in probability
We introduce a subclass of NP optimization problems which contains some NP-hard problems, e.g., bin covering and bin packing. For each problem in this subclass we prove that with probability tending to 1 (exponentially fast as the number of input items tends to in)nity), the problem is approximable up to any chosen relative error bound ¿ 0 by a deterministic )nite-state machine. More precisely,...
