چکیده

We analyze a class of random spanning trees built on a realization of an homogeneous Poisson point process of the plane. This tree has a local construction rule and a radial structure with the origin as its root We first use stochastic geometry arguments to analyze local functionals of the random tree such as the distribution of the length of the edges or the mean degree of the vertices. Far away from the origin, these local properties are shown to be close to those of the directed spanning tree introduced by Bhatt and Roy. We then use the theory of continuous state space Markov chains to analyze some non local properties of the tree such as the shape and structure of its semi-infinite paths or the shape of the set of its vertices less than k generations away from the origin. This class of spanning trees has applications in many fields and in particular in communications. Key-words: Nearest neighbor graph, Directed spanning tree, asymptotic shape, stochastic geometry, continuous space Markov chain, small set. ∗ INRIA-ENS, Département d’Informatique, ENS, 45 rue d’Ulm, F-75230 Paris Cedex 05, France, [email protected] † INRIA-ENS, Département d’Informatique, ENS, 45 rue d’Ulm, F-75230 Paris Cedex 05, France, [email protected] Sur l’arbre couvrant radial d’un processus ponctuel de Poisson Résumé : Nous étudions une classe d’arbres couvrants aléatoires construits sur les réalisations d’un processus ponctuel de Poisson dans le plan. Ces arbres ont une règle de construction locale et une structure radiale avec une racine située en l’origine du plan. Nous utilisons d’abord des arguments de géométrie stochastique pour analyser les propriétés locales de ces arbres aléatoires telles que la distribution de la longueur des arcs ou le degré moyen des noeuds. Lorsqu’on s’éloigne de l’origine, ces propriétés locales sont proches de celles de l’arbre couvrant dirigé introduit par Bhatt et Roy. Nous utilisons ensuite le théorie des châınes de Markov à espace d’état continu pour analyser certaines propriétés non locales de ces arbres comme la forme et la structure de leurs chemins semi-infinis ou encore la forme de l’ensemble des noeuds qui sont à moins de k générations de la racine. Cette classe d’arbres a de nombreuses applications, notamment dans le domaine des communications.

A 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 ...

On A Random Directed Spanning Tree

We study the asymptotic properties of a minimal spanning tree formed by n points uniformly distributed in the unit square, where the minimality is amongst all rooted spanning trees with a direction of growth. We show that the number of branches from the root of this tree, the total length of these branches, and the length of the longest branch each converge weakly. This model is related to the ...

SOLVING A STEP FIXED CHARGE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM BY A SPANNING TREE-BASED MEMETIC ALGORITHM

In this paper, we consider the step fixed-charge transportation problem (FCTP) in which a step fixed cost, sometimes called a setup cost, is incurred if another related variable assumes a nonzero value. In order to solve the problem, two metaheuristic, a spanning tree-based genetic algorithm (GA) and a spanning tree-based memetic algorithm (MA), are developed for this NP-hard problem. For compa...

Bayesian change point estimation in Poisson-based control charts

Precise identification of the time when a process has changed enables process engineers to search for a potential special cause more effectively. In this paper, we develop change point estimation methods for a Poisson process in a Bayesian framework. We apply Bayesian hierarchical models to formulate the change point where there exists a step < /div> change, a linear trend and a known multip...

Counting the number of spanning trees of graphs

A spanning tree of graph G is a spanning subgraph of G that is a tree. In this paper, we focus our attention on (n,m) graphs, where m = n, n + 1, n + 2, n+3 and n + 4. We also determine some coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of fullerene graphs.
