چکیده

We consider the problem of finding a feasible single-commodity flow in a strongly connected network with fixed supplies and demands, provided that the sum of supplies equals the sum of demands and the minimum arc capacity is at least this sum. A fast algorithm for this problem improves the worst-case time bound of the Goldberg-Rao maximum flow method[3] by a constant factor. Erlebach and Hagerup[1] gave an linear-time feasible flow algorithm. We give an arguably simpler one.

Inverse Maximum Dynamic Flow Problem under the Sum-Type Weighted Hamming Distance

Inverse maximum flow (IMDF), is among the most important problems in the field ofdynamic network flow, which has been considered the Euclidean norms measure in previousresearches. However, recent studies have mainly focused on the inverse problems under theHamming distance measure due to their practical and important applications. In this paper,we studies a general approach for handling the inv...

A Branch and Bound Method for Finding Flow Path Designing of Agv Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)

One of the important factor in the design of automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) is the flow path design. This paper presents a branch-and-bound algorithm to determining the flow path by considering not only loaded-vehicles, but also empty-vehicles. The objective is to find the flow path, which will minimize total travel of loaded vehicles. We know that in branch-and-bound method a branch c...

Third-order Decentralized Safe Consensus Protocol for Inter-connected Heterogeneous Vehicular Platoons

In this paper, the stability analysis and control design of heterogeneous traffic flow is considered. It is assumed that the traffic flow consists of infinite number of cooperative non-identical vehicular platoons. Two different networks are investigated in stability analysis of heterogeneous traffic flow: 1) inter-platoon network which deals with the communication topology of lead vehicles and...

The maximum flow problem with disjunctive constraints

We study the maximum flow problem subject to binary disjunctive constraints in a directed graph: A negative disjunctive constraint states that a certain pair of arcs in a digraph cannot be simultaneously used for sending flow in a feasible solution. In contrast to this, positive disjunctive constraints force that for certain pairs of arcs at least one arc has to carry flow in a feasible solutio...

Making Bidirected Graphs Strongly Connected

We consider problems to make a given bidirected graph strongly connected with minimum cardinality of additional signs or additional arcs. For the former problem, we show the minimum number of additional signs and give a linear-time algorithm for finding an optimal solution. For the latter problem, we give a linear-time algorithm for finding a feasible solution whose size is equal to the obvious...
