Abstract—In real networks, disjoint paths are needed for providing protection against single link/node failure. When disjoint paths cannot be found, an alternative solution is to...
Ranking systems such as those in product review sites and recommender systems usually use ratings to rank favorite items based on both their quality and popularity. Since higher ra...
Abstract— In communication networks, multiple communication paths sharing minimum number of links or/and nodes may be desirable for improved performance, resource utilization and...
Abstract--In communication networks, multiple disjoint communication paths are desirable for many applications. Such paths, however, may not exist in a network. In such a situation...
This paper considers a minimum cost flow problem where arc costs are uncertain, and the decision maker wishes to minimize both the expected flow cost and the variance of this co...
