An Algorithm for the Detection and Construction of Monge Sequences

چکیده
We give an efficient algorithm which determines whether a condition due to Hoffman (1963) is satisfied by the cost matrix of a transportation problem. In case the condition is satisfied, our algorithm generates a permutation of the matrix entries *Supported in part by Allon Fellowship and by a Bat Sheva de Rothschild grant. ‘Supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grant ECS-G-01988 and the Office of Naval Research under grant NGOO 1488-KXI377. *Supported in part by Allon Fellowship.

(called a Monge sequence), which allows for the solution of any problem with that cost matrix in linear time, by way of a “greedy” algorithm. This is the first polynomial algorithm for this problem. The running time of our algorithm is better than that of the best known algorithms for the transportation problem, and thus it can be used as a preliminary step in solving such problems without an increase in the overall complexity.

An Effective Method for Detecting Y-chromosome Specific Sequences of Circulating Fetal DNA in Maternal Plasma During the First-trimester
Background and Aims: New advances in the use of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal plasma of pregnant women has provided the possibility of applying cffDNA in prenatal diagnosis as a non-invasive method. One of the applications of prenatal diagnosis is fetal gender determination. Early prenatal determination of fetal sex is required for pregnant women at risk of X-linked and some endocrin...

متن کاملAn Application of the ABS LX Algorithm to Multiple Sequence Alignment
We present an application of ABS algorithms for multiple sequence alignment (MSA). The Markov decision process (MDP) based model leads to a linear programming problem (LPP), whose solution is linked to a suggested alignment. The important features of our work include the facility of alignment of multiple sequences simultaneously and no limit for the length of the sequences. Our goal here is to ...

Topology construction and topology maintenance are significant sub-problems of topology control. Spanning tree based algorithms for topology control are basically transmission range based type construction algorithms. The construction of an effective backbone, however, is indirectly related to the placement of nodes. Also, the dependence of network reliability on the communication path undertak...
