چکیده

In a directed graph with edge weights, the mean weight of a directed cycle is the weight of its edges divided by their number. The minimum cycle mean of the graph is the minimum mean weight of a cycle. Karp gave a characterization of minimum cycle mean and an O(nm) algorithm to compute it, where n is the number of vertices and m is the number of edges. However, an algorithm he suggested for identifying a cycle with this mean weight is not correct. We propose an alternative.

On the computational complexity of finding a minimal basis for the guess and determine attack

Guess-and-determine attack is one of the general attacks on stream ciphers. It is a common cryptanalysis tool for evaluating security of stream ciphers. The effectiveness of this attack is based on the number of unknown bits which will be guessed by the attacker to break the cryptosystem. In this work, we present a relation between the minimum numbers of the guessed bits and uniquely restricted...

A Note on Minimax Inverse Generalized Minimum Cost Flow Problems

Given a generalized network and a generalized feasible flow f, we consider a problem finding a modified edge cost d such that f is minimum cost with respect to d and the maximum deviation between the original edge cost and d is minimum. This paper shows the relationship between this problem and minimum mean circuit problems and analyze a binary search algorithm for this problem.

آیا اثر افزایش حداقل دستمزدها بر تورم در اقتصاد ایران به وضعیت ادوار تجاری اقتصاد کلان مرتبط است؟

Over past decades there have been conflicting views on whether raising the minimum wage increases inflation. This study updates and expands earlier research into this subject and fills a void in the empirical literature by studying that the impacts of the minimum wage on inflation could be altered in the different economic situations. In framework of cost push inflation theoretical background, ...

Faster parametric shortest path and minimum-balance algorithms

We use Fibonacci heaps to improve a parametric shortest path algorithm of Karp and Orlin, and we combine our algorithm and the method of Schneider and Schneider’s minimum-balance algorithm to obtain a faster minimum-balance algorithm. For a graph with n vertices and m edges, our parametric shortest path algorithm and our minimum-balance algorithm both run in O(nm + n logn) time, improved from O...
