Abstract:

We propose a dynamic program to find the shortest path in a network having gamma probability distributions as arc lengths. Two operators of sum and comparison need to be adapted for the proposed dynamic program. Convolution approach is used to sum two gamma probability distributions being employed in the dynamic program.

New models for shortest path problem with fuzzy arc lengths

This paper considers the shortest path problem with fuzzy arc lengths. According to different decision criteria, the concepts of expected shortest path, a-shortest path and the most shortest path in fuzzy environment are originally proposed, and three types of models are formulated. In order to solve these models, a hybrid intelligent algorithm integrating simulation and genetic algorithm is pr...

The shortest-path problem for graphs with random arc-lengths

We consider the problem of finding the shortest distance between all pairs of vertices in a complete digraph on n vertices, whose arc-lengths are non-negative random variables. We describe an algorithm which solves this problem in O(n(m + n log n)) expected time, where m is the expected number of arcs with finite length. If m is small enough, this represents a small improvement over the bound i...

The Minmax Regret Shortest Path Problem with Interval Arc Lengths

This paper considers the shortest path problem on directed acyclic graphs, where the uncertainty of input data (lengths of arcs) is modeled in the form of intervals. In order to handle the interval data the minmax criterion to the regret values is applied, where the original objective function with interval coefficients is transformed into that of finding the least maximum worst-case regret, wh...

Shortest path problem considering on-time arrival probability

This paper studies the problem of finding a priori shortest paths to guarantee a given likelihood of arriving on-time in a stochastic network. Such ‘‘reliable” paths help travelers better plan their trips to prepare for the risk of running late in the face of stochastic travel times. Optimal solutions to the problem can be obtained from local-reliable paths, which are a set of non-dominated pat...

Direct-Proportional Length-Based DNA Computing for Shortest Path Problem

Deoxyribonucleic Acid or DNA computing has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that draws together chemistry, molecular biology, computer science, and mathematics. From the DNA computing point of view, it has been proven that it is possible to solve weighted graph problems by exploiting some characteristics of DNA such as length, concentration, and melting temperature. In this paper, we prese...

The shortest path problem

The shortest path problem is solved and applied to the calculations of half lives with respect to spontaneous fission of heavy nuclei. The dynamical programming method of Bellman and Kalaba is used to find the fission path in the d-dimensional space of deformation parameters. Fission half lives of heavy isotopes (100<Z<110) are shown and compared to the experimental data. 1. Introductory remark...
