Car sequencing is NP-hard: a short proof
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note, a new proof is given that the car sequencing problem is NP-hard. Established from the hamiltonian path problem, the reduction is direct while closing gaps remaining in the previous NP-hardness results. Since car sequencing is studied in many operational research courses, this result and its proof are particularly interesting for teaching purposes.

On the complexity of the car sequencing problem
In this note we give an easier proof of the known result that the car sequencing problem is NP-hard, and point out that it is NP-hard in the strong sense. We show that a previous claim of NP-completeness is incorrect, and instead we give a sufficient condition of membership of NP. We also provide a pseudo-polynomial algorithm for a special case.
متن کاملA short proof that NMF is NP-hard
We give a short combinatorial proof that the nonnegative matrix factorization is an NP-hard problem. Moreover, we prove that NMF remains NP-hard when restricted to 01-matrices, answering a recent question of Moitra. The (exact) nonnegative matrix factorization is the following problem. Given an integer k and a matrix A with nonnegative entries, do there exist k nonnegative rank-one matrices tha...
متن کاملA Single Machine Sequencing Problem with Idle Insert: Simulated Annealing and Branch-and-Bound Methods
In this paper, a single machine sequencing problem is considered in order to find the sequence of jobs minimizing the sum of the maximum earliness and tardiness with idle times (n/1/I/ETmax). Due to the time complexity function, this sequencing problem belongs to a class of NP-hard ones. Thus, a special design of a simulated annealing (SA) method is applied to solve such a hard problem. To co...
متن کاملLarge neighborhood improvements for solving car sequencing problems
The NP-hard problem of car sequencing has received a lot of attention these last years. Whereas a direct approach based on integer programming or constraint programming is generally fruitless when the number of vehicles to sequence exceeds the hundred, several heuristics have shown their efficiency. In this paper, very large-scale neighborhood improvement techniques based on integer programming...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Algorithm for the m-Machine, n-Job Flow Shop Sequencing Problem
Flow shop sequencing problem is included in NP-hard problems and a number of heuristic methods have been developed to solve it. Most of these methods are offered for the crisp processing time. However fuzzy algorithm is appropriate for the problems with fuzzy processing time. This paper presents a method in which an algorithm is used to minimize make span of flow shop with fuzzy processing time...
