Using Critical Sets for the Maximum Independent Set Problem Solving
The problem of finding a maximum independent set in an undirected graph is a well known NP-hard problem. On the other hand, the critical independent set problem is polynomially solvable. The relationship between these two problems is studied and a method that utilizes a nonempty critical independent set for solving the maximum independent set problem is developed. The efficiency of the proposed...
متن کاملA New Approach for Knowledge Based Systems Reduction using Rough Sets Theory (RESEARCH NOTE)
Problem of knowledge analysis for decision support system is the most difficult task of information systems. This paper presents a new approach based on notions of mathematical theory of Rough Sets to solve this problem. Using these concepts a systematic approach has been developed to reduce the size of decision database and extract reduced rules set from vague and uncertain data. The method ha...
متن کاملSolving Single Machine Sequencing to Minimize Maximum Lateness Problem Using Mixed Integer Programming
Despite existing various integer programming for sequencing problems, there is not enoughinformation about practical values of the models. This paper considers the problem of minimizing maximumlateness with release dates and presents four different mixed integer programming (MIP) models to solve thisproblem. These models have been formulated for the classical single machine problem, namely sequ...
متن کاملA Note on Critical Independence Reductions
A criterion is specified for identifying graphs with nonempty critical independent sets. A polynomial-time algorithm is given for finding them and, thus, reducing the problem of finding a maximum independent set (MIS) in such a graph to finding a MIS in a proper subgraph. This algorithm can be extended to identify maximum cardinality critical independent sets, answering a question of Butenko an...
متن کاملOn the Power of Simple Reductions for the Maximum Independent Set Problem
Reductions—rules that reduce input size while maintaining the ability to compute an optimal solution—are critical for developing efficient maximum independent set algorithms in both theory and practice. While several simple reductions have previously been shown to make small domain-specific instances tractable in practice, it was only recently shown that advanced reductions (in a measure-and-co...
