Let T be an edge-weighted tree. A p-core of T is a set of p mutually disjoint paths in T that minimizes the sum of the distances of all vertices in T from any of the p paths, where...
Routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) aims to assign the limited number of wavelengths in a wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) optical network so as to achieve greater capacit...
The robust deviation shortest path problem with interval data is studied in this paper. After the formulation of the problem in mathematical terms, an exact algorithm, based on a ...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is inspired by the ability of ant colonies to find shortest paths between their nest and a food source. We analyze the running time of different ACO...
The disjoint paths problem asks, given an graph G and k + 1 pairs of terminals (s0, t0), . . . , (sk, tk), whether there are k + 1 pairwise disjoint paths P0, . . . , Pk, such tha...
