Optimal Cuts and Partitions in Tree Metrics in Polynomial Time
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a polynomial time dynamic programming algorithm for optimal partitions in the shortest path metric induced by a tree. This resolves, among other things, the exact complexity status of the optimal partition problems in one dimensional geometric metric settings. Our method of solution could be also of independent interest in other applications. We discuss also an extension of our method to the class of metrics induced by the bounded treewidth graphs.

The structure of optimal partitions of orthogonal polygons into fat rectangles
Motivated by a VLSI masking problem, we explore partitions of an orthogonal polygon of n vertices into isothetic rectangles that maximize the shortest rectangle side over all rectangles. Thus no rectangle is “thin”; all rectangles are “fat.” We show that such partitions have a rich structure, more complex than what one might at first expect. For example, for partitions all “cuts” of which are a...
متن کاملA POLYNOMIAL TIME BRANCH AND BOUND ALGORITHM FOR THE SINGLE ITEM ECONOMIC LOT SIZING PROBLEM WITH ALL UNITS DISCOUNT AND RESALE
The purpose of this paper is to present a polynomial time algorithm which determines the lot sizes for purchase component in Material Requirement Planning (MRP) environments with deterministic time-phased demand with zero lead time. In this model, backlog is not permitted, the unit purchasing price is based on the all-units discount system and resale of the excess units is possible at the order...

متن کاملSegmentation of Liver Tumor Using Efficient Global Optimal Tree Metrics Graph Cuts
We propose a novel approach that applies global optimal tree-metrics graph cuts algorithm on multi-phase contrast enhanced contrast enhanced MRI for liver tumor segmentation. To address the difficulties caused by low contrasted boundaries and high variability in liver tumor segmentation, we first extract a set of features in multi-phase contrast enhanced MRI data and use color-space mapping to ...
متن کاملStirling number of the fourth kind and lucky partitions of a finite set
The concept of Lucky k-polynomials and in particular Lucky χ-polynomials was recently introduced. This paper introduces Stirling number of the fourth kind and Lucky partitions of a finite set in order to determine either the Lucky k- or Lucky χ-polynomial of a graph. The integer partitions influence Stirling partitions of the second kind.
