Minimum-sum dipolar spanning tree in R3
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider finding a geometric minimum-sum dipolar spanning tree in R, and present an algorithm that takes O(n log n) time using O(n) space, thus almost matching the best known results for the planar case. Our solution uses an interesting result related to the complexity of the common intersection of n balls in R, of possible different radii, that are all tangent to a given point p. The problem has applications in communication networks, when the goal is to minimize the distance between two hubs or servers as well as the distance from any node in the network to the closer of the two hubs.

Facility Location and the Geometric Minimum-Diameter Spanning Tree
Let P be a set of n points in the plane. The geometric minimum-diameter spanning tree (MDST) of P is a tree that spans P and minimizes the Euclidian length of the longest path. It is known that there is always a monoor a dipolar MDST, i.e. a MDST with one or two nodes of degree greater 1, respectively. The more difficult dipolar case can so far only be solved in slightly subcubic time. This pap...
متن کاملA Metaheuristic Algorithm for the Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Tree Problem
The routing cost of a spanning tree in a weighted and connected graph is defined as the total length of paths between all pairs of vertices. The objective of the minimum routing cost spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree such that its routing cost is minimum. This is an NP-Hard problem that we present a GRASP with path-relinking metaheuristic algorithm for it. GRASP is a multi-start ...

Let P be a set of n points in the plane. The geometric minimum-diameter spanning tree (MDST) of P is a tree that spans P and minimizes the Euclidian length of the longest path. It is known that there is always a monoor a dipolar MDST, i.e. a MDST whose longest path consists of two or three edges, respectively. The more difficult dipolar case can so far only be solved in O(n) time. This paper ha...
متن کاملA Stock Market Filtering Model Based on Minimum Spanning Tree in Financial Networks
There have been several efforts in the literature to extract as much information as possible from the financial networks. Most of the research has been concerned about the hierarchical structures, clustering, topology and also the behavior of the market network; but not a notable work on the network filtration exists. This paper proposes a stock market filtering model using the correlation - ba...
