Heuristics for planar minimum-weight perfect metchings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several linear-time approximation algorithms for the minimum-weight perfect matching in a plane are proposed, and their worstand average-case behaviors are analyzed theoretically as well as experimentally. A linear-time approximation algorithm, named the “spiral-rack algorithm (with preprocess and with tour),” is recommended for practical purposes. This algorithm is successfully applied to the drawing of road maps such as that of the Tokyo city area.

On the complexity of the exact weighted independent set problem
Suppose we have a well-solved optimization problem, such as minimum spanning tree, maximum cut in planar graphs, minimum weight perfect matching, or maximum weight independent set in a bipartite graph. How hard is it to determine whether there exists a solution with a given weight ? Papadimitriou and Yannakakis showed in [PAPADIMITRIOU 82] that these so-called exact versions of the above optimi...
متن کاملPlanar Perfect Matching is in NC
Consider a planar graph G = (V,E) with polynomially bounded edge weight function w : E → [0, poly(n)]. The main results of this paper are NC algorithms for the following problems: • minimum weight perfect matching in G, • maximum cardinality and maximum weight matching in G when G is bipartite, • maximum multiple-source multiple-sink flow in G where c : E → [1, poly(n)] is a polynomially bounde...
متن کاملNC Algorithms for Perfect Matching and Maximum Flow in One-Crossing-Minor-Free Graphs
In 1988, Vazirani gave an NC algorithm for computing the number of perfect matchings in K3,3-minor-free graphs by building on Kasteleyn’s scheme for planar graphs, and stated that this “opens up the possibility of obtaining an NC algorithm for finding a perfect matching in K3,3-free graphs.” In this paper, we finally settle this 30-year-old open problem. Building on the recent breakthrough resu...
متن کاملPlanar Graph Perfect Matching is in NC
Is perfect matching in NC? That is to say, is there a deterministic fast parallel algorithm for it? This has been an outstanding open question in theoretical computer science for over three decades, ever since the discovery of RNC matching algorithms. Within this question, the case of planar graphs has remained an enigma: On the one hand, counting the number of perfect matchings is far harder t...
متن کاملIndependent sets in (P6, diamond)-free graphs
An independent set (or a stable set) in a graph G is a subset of pairwise nonadjacent vertices of G. An independent set of G is maximal if it is not properly contained in any other independent set of G. The Maximum-Weight Independent Set (WIS) problem is the following: Given a graphG = (V,E) and a weight function w on V , determine an independent set of G of maximum weight. Let αw(G) denote the...
