Optimum Communication Spanning Trees
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a set of nodes N (i 1, 2, ..., n) which may represent cities and a set of requirements ria which may represent the number of telephone calls between N and N j, the problem is to build a spanning tree connecting these n nodes such that the total cost of communication of the spanning tree is a minimum among all spanning trees. The cost of communication for a pair of nodes is r;a multiplied by the sum of the distances of arcs which form the unique path connecting Ni and N in the spanning tree. Summing over all () pairs of nodes, we have the total cost of communication of the spanning tree. Note that the problem is different from the minimum spanning tree problem solved by Kruskal and Prim.

Providing a Simple Method for the Calculation of the Source and Target Reliabili- ty in a Communication Network (SAT)
The source and target reliability in SAT network is de- fined as the flawless transmission from the source node to all the other nodes. In some references, the SAT pro- cess has been followed between all the node pairs but it is very time-consuming in today’s widespread networks and involves many costs. In this article, a method has been proposed to compare the reliability in complex networks b...

Denote by $Kf(G)=nsum_{i=1}^{n-1}frac{1}{mu_i}$ and $t=t(G)=frac 1n prod_{i=1}^{n-1} mu_i$ the Kirchhoff index and number of spanning tree...
متن کاملDeveloping Efficient Metaheuristics for Communication Network Problems by using Problem-specific Knowledge
Metaheuristics, such as evolutionary algorithms or simulated annealing, are widely applicable heuristic optimization strategies that have shown encouraging results for a large number of difficult optimization problems. To show high performance, metaheuristics need to be adapted to the properties of the problem at hand. This paper illustrates how efficient metaheuristics can be developed for com...
متن کاملCounting the number of spanning trees of graphs
A spanning tree of graph G is a spanning subgraph of G that is a tree. In this paper, we focus our attention on (n,m) graphs, where m = n, n + 1, n + 2, n+3 and n + 4. We also determine some coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of fullerene graphs.
