An Efficient Algorithm for the Shortest Path Problem with Forbidden Paths

چکیده
In this paper, we discuss the shortest path problem with forbidden paths (SPPFP), where the constraints come from a set of forbidden paths (arc sequences) that cannot be part of any feasible solution. SPPFP can be used to solve the problems with hard-to-modeled path constraints or to implement exact branching scheme.The method proposed by Villeneuve and Desaulniers first transfer the SPPFP problem to the k-shortest paths problem. We propose an algorithm which reduces execution time of solving the SPPFP problem via a nodes combination process. It improves the approach proposed by Villeneuve and Desaulniers. In addition, their algorithm for generating augmented paths could cause the inconsistency in particular situations. The proposed method also improves the weakness without increasing its time complexity.

A New Algorithm for the Discrete Shortest Path Problem in a Network Based on Ideal Fuzzy Sets
A shortest path problem is a practical issue in networks for real-world situations. This paper addresses the fuzzy shortest path (FSP) problem to obtain the best fuzzy path among fuzzy paths sets. For this purpose, a new efficient algorithm is introduced based on a new definition of ideal fuzzy sets (IFSs) in order to determine the fuzzy shortest path. Moreover, this algorithm is developed for ...

متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Selecting a Reliable Path under Uncertainty Conditions
In a network that has the potential to block some paths, choosing a reliable path, so that its survival probability is high, is an important and practical issue. The importance of this issue is very considerable in critical situations such as natural disasters, floods and earthquakes. In the case of the reliable path, survival or blocking of each arc on a network in critical situations is an un...

Adleman demonstrate that we can deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strands to solve an instance of the Hamiltonian path problem (HPP). One year later, Lipton solved another NP hard problem. In this paper, we use this model for developing a new DNA algorithm to solve longest and shortest path with forbidden pairs. Our algorithm works in polynomial time.
متن کاملShortest Paths Avoiding Forbidden Subpaths
In this paper we study a variant of the shortest path problem in graphs: given a weighted graph G and vertices s and t, and given a set X of forbidden paths in G, find a shortest s-t path P such that no path in X is a subpath of P . Path P is allowed to repeat vertices and edges. We call each path in X an exception, and our desired path a shortest exception avoiding path. We formulate a new ver...
