Reduction of Maximum Flow Network Interdiction Problem: Step towards the Polynomial Time Solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present work an attempt is being made to reduce the Maximum Flow Network Interdiction Problem (MFNIP) in to the Subset Sum Problem so as to get some algorithms solvable in polynomial time. Previously developed algorithms are either applicable to some special cases of MFNIP or they do not have a constant performance guarantee. Our reduction has paved the way towards the development of fully polynomial time approximation schemes for Maximum Flow Network Interdiction Problem.

Maximum Flow Network Interdiction Problem (MFNIP) is known to be strongly NP-hard problem. We solve a simple form of MFNIP in polynomial time. We review the reduction of MFNIP from the clique problem. We propose a polynomial time solution to the Clique Problem.
متن کاملA Note on the Integrality Gap in the Nodal Interdiction Problem
In the maximum flow network interdiction problem, an attacker attempts to minimize the maximum flow by interdicting flow on the arcs of network. In this paper, our focus is on the nodal interdiction for network instead of the arc interdiction. Two path inequalities for the node-only interdiction problem are represented. It has been proved that the integrality gap of relaxation of the maximum fl...

Cardinality Maximum Flow Network Interdiction Problem (CMFNIP) is known to be strongly NP-hard problem in the literature. A particular case of CMFNIP has been shown to have reduction from clique problem. In the present work,an effort is being made to solve this particular case of CMFNIP in polynomial time. Direct implication of this solution is that the clique problem gets solved in polynomial ...

The Clique Problem has a reduction to the Maximum Flow Network Interdiction Problem. We review the reduction to evolve a polynomial time algorithm for the Clique Problem. A computer program in C language has been written to validate the easiness of the algorithm.
متن کاملExtensions to Network Flow Interdiction on Planar Graphs
Network flow interdiction analysis studies by how much the value of a maximum flow in a network can be diminished by removing components of the network constrained to some budget. Although this problem is strongly NP-complete on general networks, pseudo-polynomial algorithms were found for planar networks with a single source and a single sink and without the possibility to remove vertices. In ...
