A combinatorial algorithm for weighted stable sets in bipartite graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computing a maximum weighted stable set in a bipartite graph is considered wellsolved and usually approached with preflow-push, Ford-Fulkerson or network simplex algorithms. We present a combinatorial algorithm for the problem that is not based on flows. Numerical tests suggest that this algorithm performs quite well in practice and is competitive with flow based algorithms especially in the case of dense graphs.

Combinatorial optimization with 2-joins
A 2-join is an edge cutset that naturally appears in decomposition of several classes of graphs closed under taking induced subgraphs, such as perfect graphs and claw-free graphs. In this paper we construct combinatorial polynomial time algorithms for finding a maximum weighted clique, a maximum weighted stable set and an optimal coloring for a class of perfect graphs decomposable by 2-joins: t...
متن کاملColoring Fuzzy Circular Interval Graphs
Given a graph G with nonnegative node labels w, a multiset of stable sets S1, . . . , Sk ⊆ V (G) such that each vertex v ∈ V (G) is contained in w(v) many of these stable sets is called a weighted coloring. The weighted coloring number χw(G) is the smallest k such that there exist stable sets as above. We provide a polynomial time combinatorial algorithm that computes the weighted coloring numb...
متن کاملMETA-HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF CROSSING OF COMPLETE GRAPHS AND COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS
The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...
متن کاملA Combinatorial Algorithm for Minimizing the Maximum Laplacian Eigenvalue of Weighted Bipartite Graphs
We give a strongly polynomial time combinatorial algorithm to minimise the largest eigenvalue of the weighted Laplacian of a bipartite graph G = (W ∪B,E). This is accomplished by solving the dual graph embedding problem which arises from a semidefinite programming formulation. In particular, the problem for trees can be solved in time O(|W ∪B|).
متن کاملApproximating Incremental Combinatorial Optimization Problems
We consider incremental combinatorial optimization problems, in which a solution is constructed incrementally over time, and the goal is to optimize not the value of the final solution but the average value over all timesteps. We consider a natural algorithm of moving towards a global optimum solution as quickly as possible. We show that this algorithm provides an approximation guarantee of (9 ...
