Probability on Graphs

چکیده

The random assignment problem is to minimize the cost of an assignment in a n×n matrix of random costs. In this paper we study this problem for some integer valued cost distributions. We consider both uniform distributions on 1, 2, . . . , m, for m = n or n, and random permutations of 1, 2, . . . , n for each row, or of 1, 2, . . . , n for the whole matrix. We find the limit of the expected cost for the n cases, and prove bounds for the n cases. This is done by simple coupling arguments together with Aldous recent results for the continuous case. We also present a simulation study of these cases.

On the reliability wiener number

One of the generalizations of the Wiener number to weighted graphs is to assign probabilities to edges, meaning that in nonstatic conditions the edge is present only with some probability. The Reliability Wiener number is defined as the sum of reliabilities among pairs of vertices, where the reliability of a pair is the reliability of the most reliable path. Closed expressions are derived for t...

Effects of Probability Function on the Performance of Stochastic Programming

Stochastic programming is a valuable optimization tool where used when some or all of the design parameters of an optimization problem are defined by stochastic variables rather than by deterministic quantities. Depending on the nature of equations involved in the problem, a stochastic optimization problem is called a stochastic linear or nonlinear programming problem. In this paper,a stochasti...

The reliability Wiener number of cartesian product graphs

Reliability Wiener number is a modification of the original Wiener number in which probabilities are assigned to edges yielding a natural model in which there are some (or all) bonds in the molecule that are not static. Various probabilities naturally allow modelling different types of chemical bonds because chemical bonds are of different types and it is well-known that under certain condition...

Uniform Generalized Steinhaus Graphs Neal

In [1] it is shown that the rst order theory of almost all generalized Steinhaus graphs is identical to the rst order theory of almost all graphs where each generalized Steinhaus graph is given the same probability. A natural probability measure on generalized Steinhaus graphs is obtained by independently assigning a probability o f p for each entry in the generating string of the graph. With t...

Relative n-th non-commuting graphs of finite groups

‎Suppose $n$ is a fixed positive integer‎. ‎We introduce the relative n-th non-commuting graph $Gamma^{n} _{H,G}$‎, ‎associated to the non-abelian subgroup $H$ of group $G$‎. ‎The vertex set is $Gsetminus C^n_{H,G}$ in which $C^n_{H,G} = {xin G‎ : ‎[x,y^{n}]=1 mbox{~and~} [x^{n},y]=1mbox{~for~all~} yin H}$‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎${x,y}$ is an edge if $x$ or $y$ belong to $H$ and $xy^{n}eq y^{n}x$ or $x...

In [1] it is shown that the first order theory of almost all generalized Steinhaus graphs is identical to the first order theory of almost all where each generalized Steinhaus graph is given the same probability. A natural probability measure on generalized Steinhaus graphs is obtained by independently assigning a probability of p for each entry in the generating string of the graph. With this ...
