چکیده

We study the expected value of the length Ln of the minimum spanning tree of the complete graph Kn when each edge e is given an independent uniform [0, 1] edge weight. We sharpen the result of Frieze [6] that limn→∞ E(Ln) = ζ(3) and show that E(Ln) = ζ(3) + c1 n + c2+o(1) n4/3 where c1, c2 are explicitly defined constants.

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 ...

OPTIMIZATION OF TREE-STRUCTURED GAS DISTRIBUTION NETWORK USING ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION: A CASE STUDY

An Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed for optimal tree-structured natural gas distribution network. Design of pipelines, facilities, and equipment systems are necessary tasks to configure an optimal natural gas network. A mixed integer programming model is formulated to minimize the total cost in the network. The aim is to optimize pipe diameter sizes so that the location-alloc...

A Stock Market Filtering Model Based on Minimum Spanning Tree in Financial Networks

There have been several efforts in the literature to extract as much information as possible from the financial networks. Most of the research has been concerned about the hierarchical structures, clustering, topology and also the behavior of the market network; but not a notable work on the network filtration exists. This paper proposes a stock market filtering model using the correlation - ba...

A Note on Random Minimum Length Spanning Trees

Consider a connected r-regular n-vertex graph G with random independent edge lengths, each uniformly distributed on [0, 1]. Let mst(G) be the expected length of a minimum spanning tree. We show in this paper that if G is sufficiently highly edge connected then the expected length of a minimum spanning tree is ∼ nr ζ(3). If we omit the edge connectivity condition, then it is at most ∼ nr (ζ(3) +...

Quasi Random Deployment Strategy for Reliable Communication Backbones in Wireless Sensor Networks

Topology construction and topology maintenance are significant sub-problems of topology control. Spanning tree based algorithms for topology control are basically transmission range based type construction algorithms. The construction of an effective backbone, however, is indirectly related to the placement of nodes. Also, the dependence of network reliability on the communication path undertak...

On Random Minimum Length Spanning Trees

Suppose that we are given a complete graph K n on n vertices together with lengths on the edges which are independent identically distributed non-negative random variables. Suppose that their common distribution function F satisfies F(0) =0, F is differentiable from the right at zero and D = F~. (0)>0. Let X denote a random variable with this distribution. Let L~ denote the (random) length of t...
