Aggregation approach for the minimum binary cost tension problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aggregation technique, dedicated to two-terminal series-parallel graphs (or TTSP-graphs) and introduced lately to solve the minimum piecewise linear cost tension problem, is adapted here to solve the minimum binary cost tension problem (or BCT problem). Even on TTSP-graphs, the BCT problem has been proved to be NP-complete. As far as we know, the aggregation is the only algorithm, with mixed integer programming, proposed to solve exactly the BCT problem on TTSP-graphs. A comparison of the efficiency of both methods is presented here.

Capacity Inverse Minimum Cost Flow Problem under the Weighted Hamming Distances
Given an instance of the minimum cost flow problem, a version of the corresponding inverse problem, called the capacity inverse problem, is to modify the upper and lower bounds on arc flows as little as possible so that a given feasible flow becomes optimal to the modified minimum cost flow problem. The modifications can be measured by different distances. In this article, we consider the capac...
متن کاملMinimum convex-cost tension problems on series-parallel graphs
We present briefly some results we obtained with known methods to solve minimum cost tension problems, comparing their performance on non-specific graphs and on series-parallel graphs. These graphs are shown to be of interest to approximate many tension problems, like synchronization in hypermedia documents. We propose a new aggregation method to solve the minimum convex piecewise linear cost t...
متن کاملA New Surface Tension Model for Prediction of Interaction Energy between Components and Activity Coefficients in Binary Systems
In this work, we develop a correlative model based on the surface tension data in order to calculate thermodynamic parameters, such as interaction energy between components (Uij), activity coefficients and etc. In the new approach, by using Li et al. (LWW) model, a three-parameter surface tension equation is derived for liquid mixtures. The surface tension data of 54 aqueous and 73 non-aqueous ...
متن کاملA Novel Experimental Analysis of the Minimum Cost Flow Problem
In the GA approach the parameters that influence its performance include population size, crossover rate and mutation rate. Genetic algorithms are suitable for traversing large search spaces since they can do this relatively fast and because the mutation operator diverts the method away from local optima, which will tend to become more common as the search space increases in size. GA’s are base...
متن کاملProperties of fuzzy relations and aggregation process in decision making
In this contribution connections between input fuzzy relations R1, . . . ,Rn on a set X and the output fuzzy relationRF = F(R1, . . . ,Rn) are studied. F is a function of the form F : [0, 1]n → [0, 1] and RF is called an aggregated fuzzyrelation. In the literature the problem of preservation, by a function F, diverse types of properties of fuzzy relationsR1, . . . ,Rn is examined. Here, it is c...
