On Finding a Hamiltonian Path in a Tournament Using Semi-Heap
نویسنده
چکیده
In [8] a new data structure called semi-heap is proposed to construct an optimal (n logn) sorting algorithm to sort an intransitive total ordered set, a generalization of regular sorting. In this part, we provide a cost-optimal parallel algorithm using semi-heap. The run time of this algorithm is (n) with (logn) processors under the EREW PRAM model. The use of a Hamiltonian path (generalized sorting sequence) as an approximation of a ranking system in a tournament is also discussed.

Finding the Shortest Hamiltonian Path for Iranian Cities Using Hybrid Simulated Annealing and Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms
The traveling salesman problem is a well-known and important combinatorial optimization problem. The goal of this problem is to find the shortest Hamiltonian path that visits each city in a given list exactly once and then returns to the starting city. In this paper, for the first time, the shortest Hamiltonian path is achieved for 1071 Iranian cities. For solving this large-scale problem, tw...
متن کاملOn arc-traceable tournaments
A digraph D = (V, A) is arc-traceable if for each arc xy in A, xy lies on a directed path containing all the vertices of V , i.e. a hamiltonian path. Given a tournament T , it is well known that it contains a directed hamiltonian path. In this paper, we develop the structure necessary for a tournament T to contain an arc xy that is not on any hamiltonian path. Using this structure, we give suff...
متن کاملCounting Hamiltonian Paths of Tournaments
It is well known that every tournament has a directed path containing all the vertices of V , i.e. a hamiltonian path. It is an easy exercise to show that a tournament has a unique such path if and only if the arcs of A induce a transitive relation on V . In this paper we show that by reversing the arcs of the hamiltonian path in a transitive tournament with n vertices we obtain a tournament wi...
متن کاملWhat Structural Features Make Graph Problems to Have Efficient Parallel Algorithms? —Using Outerplanar Graphs, Trapezoid Graphs and In-Tournament Graphs as Examples—
This paper analyzes what structural features of graph problems allow efficient parallel algorithms. We survey some parallel algorithms for typical problems on three kinds of graphs, outerplanar graphs, trapezoid graphs and in-tournament graphs. Our results on the shortest path problem, the longest path problem and the maximum flow problem on outerplanar graphs, the minimum-weight connected domi...
متن کاملLiterature Review on Parallel Sorting of Intransitive Total Ordered Sets
Sorting of transitive total ordered sets is one of the best investigated topics in Computer Science. A generalization of this is sorting an intransitive total ordered set which is more complex. While a transitive total ordered set (e. g. a subset of the real numbers) holds a ≥ b∧b ≥ a⇒ a ≥ c, this does not have to be true for a intransitive total ordered set. Only a → b ∨̇ b → a is claimed.
