It provides a series of common operations and algorithms applicable to \(un\)directed graphs\. Despite being a companion the package is not directly dependent on __[struct::graph](graph\.md)__, only on the API defined by that package\. I\.e\. the operations of this package can be applied to any and all graph objects which provide the same API as the objects created through __[struct::graph](graph\.md)__\. # Operations - __struct::graph::op::toAdjacencyMatrix__ *g* This command takes the graph *g* and returns a nested list containing the adjacency matrix of *g*\. The elements of the outer list are the rows of the matrix, the inner elements are the column values in each row\. The matrix has "__n__\+1" rows and columns, with the first row and column \(index 0\) containing the name of the node the row/column is for\. All other elements are boolean values, __True__ if there is an arc between the 2 nodes of the respective row and column, and __False__ otherwise\. Note that the matrix is symmetric\. It does not represent the directionality of arcs, only their presence between nodes\. It is also unable to represent parallel arcs in *g*\. - __struct::graph::op::toAdjacencyList__ *G* ?*options*\.\.\.? Procedure creates for input graph *G*, it's representation as *[Adjacency List](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#adjacency\_list)*\. It handles both directed and undirected graphs \(default is undirected\)\. It returns dictionary that for each node \(key\) returns list of nodes adjacent to it\. When considering weighted version, for each adjacent node there is also weight of the edge included\. * Arguments: + Graph object *G* \(input\) A graph to convert into an *[Adjacency List](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#adjacency\_list)*\. * Options: + __\-directed__ By default *G* is operated as if it were an *Undirected graph*\. Using this option tells the command to handle *G* as the directed graph it is\. + __\-weights__ By default any weight information the graph *G* may have is ignored\. Using this option tells the command to put weight information into the result\. In that case it is expected that all arcs have a proper weight, and an error is thrown if that is not the case\. - __struct::graph::op::kruskal__ *g* This command takes the graph *g* and returns a list containing the names of the arcs in *g* which span up a minimum weight spanning tree \(MST\), or, in the case of an un\-connected graph, a minimum weight spanning forest \(except for the 1\-vertex components\)\. Kruskal's algorithm is used to compute the tree or forest\. This algorithm has a time complexity of *O\(E\*log E\)* or *O\(E\* log V\)*, where *V* is the number of vertices and *[E](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#e)* is the number of edges in graph *g*\. The command will throw an error if one or more arcs in *g* have no weight associated with them\. A note regarding the result, the command refrains from explicitly listing the nodes of the MST as this information is implicitly provided in the arcs already\. - __struct::graph::op::prim__ *g* This command takes the graph *g* and returns a list containing the names of the arcs in *g* which span up a minimum weight spanning tree \(MST\), or, in the case of an un\-connected graph, a minimum weight spanning forest \(except for the 1\-vertex components\)\. Prim's algorithm is used to compute the tree or forest\. This algorithm has a time complexity between *O\(E\+V\*log V\)* and *O\(V\*V\)*, depending on the implementation \(Fibonacci heap \+ Adjacency list versus Adjacency Matrix\)\. As usual *V* is the number of vertices and *[E](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#e)* the number of edges in graph *g*\. The command will throw an error if one or more arcs in *g* have no weight associated with them\. A note regarding the result, the command refrains from explicitly listing the nodes of the MST as this information is implicitly provided in the arcs already\. - __struct::graph::op::isBipartite?__ *g* ?*bipartvar*? This command takes the graph *g* and returns a boolean value indicating whether it is bipartite \(__true__\) or not \(__false__\)\. If the variable *bipartvar* is specified the two partitions of the graph are there as a list, if, and only if the graph is bipartit\. If it is not the variable, if specified, is not touched\. - __struct::graph::op::tarjan__ *g* This command computes the set of *strongly connected* components \(SCCs\) of the graph *g*\. The result of the command is a list of sets, each of which contains the nodes for one of the SCCs of *g*\. The union of all SCCs covers the whole graph, and no two SCCs intersect with each other\. The graph *g* is *acyclic* if all SCCs in the result contain only a single node\. The graph *g* is *strongly connected* if the result contains only a single SCC containing all nodes of *g*\. - __struct::graph::op::connectedComponents__ *g* This command computes the set of *connected* components \(CCs\) of the graph *g*\. The result of the command is a list of sets, each of which contains the nodes for one of the CCs of *g*\. The union of all CCs covers the whole graph, and no two CCs intersect with each other\. The graph *g* is *connected* if the result contains only a single SCC containing all nodes of *g*\. - __struct::graph::op::connectedComponentOf__ *g* *n* This command computes the *connected* component \(CC\) of the graph *g* containing the node *n*\. The result of the command is a sets which contains the nodes for the CC of *n* in *g*\. The command will throw an error if *n* is not a node of the graph *g*\. - __struct::graph::op::isConnected?__ *g* This is a convenience command determining whether the graph *g* is *connected* or not\. The result is a boolean value, __true__ if the graph is connected, and __false__ otherwise\. - __struct::graph::op::isCutVertex?__ *g* *n* This command determines whether the node *n* in the graph *g* is a *[cut vertex](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#cut\_vertex)* \(aka *[articulation point](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#articulation\_point)*\)\. The result is a boolean value, __true__ if the node is a cut vertex, and __false__ otherwise\. The command will throw an error if *n* is not a node of the graph *g*\. - __struct::graph::op::isBridge?__ *g* *a* This command determines whether the arc *a* in the graph *g* is a *[bridge](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#bridge)* \(aka *[cut edge](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#cut\_edge)*, or *[isthmus](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#isthmus)*\)\. The result is a boolean value, __true__ if the arc is a bridge, and __false__ otherwise\. The command will throw an error if *a* is not an arc of the graph *g*\. - __struct::graph::op::isEulerian?__ *g* ?*tourvar*? This command determines whether the graph *g* is *eulerian* or not\. The result is a boolean value, __true__ if the graph is eulerian, and __false__ otherwise\. If the graph is eulerian and *tourvar* is specified then an euler tour is computed as well and stored in the named variable\. The tour is represented by the list of arcs traversed, in the order of traversal\. - __struct::graph::op::isSemiEulerian?__ *g* ?*pathvar*? This command determines whether the graph *g* is *semi\-eulerian* or not\. The result is a boolean value, __true__ if the graph is semi\-eulerian, and __false__ otherwise\. If the graph is semi\-eulerian and *pathvar* is specified then an euler path is computed as well and stored in the named variable\. The path is represented by the list of arcs traversed, in the order of traversal\. - __struct::graph::op::dijkstra__ *g* *start* ?*options*\.\.\.? This command determines distances in the weighted *g* from the node *start* to all other nodes in the graph\. The options specify how to traverse graphs, and the format of the result\. Two options are recognized * __\-arcmode__ mode The accepted mode values are __directed__ and __undirected__\. For directed traversal all arcs are traversed from source to target\. For undirected traversal all arcs are traversed in the opposite direction as well\. Undirected traversal is the default\. * __\-outputformat__ format The accepted format values are __distances__ and __tree__\. In both cases the result is a dictionary keyed by the names of all nodes in the graph\. For __distances__ the value is the distance of the node to *start*, whereas for __tree__ the value is the path from the node to *start*, excluding the node itself, but including *start*\. Tree format is the default\. - __struct::graph::op::distance__ *g* *origin* *destination* ?*options*\.\.\.? This command determines the \(un\)directed distance between the two nodes *origin* and *destination* in the graph *g*\. It accepts the option __\-arcmode__ of __struct::graph::op::dijkstra__\. - __struct::graph::op::eccentricity__ *g* *n* ?*options*\.\.\.? This command determines the \(un\)directed *[eccentricity](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#eccentricity)* of the node *n* in the graph *g*\. It accepts the option __\-arcmode__ of __struct::graph::op::dijkstra__\. The \(un\)directed *[eccentricity](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#eccentricity)* of a node is the maximal \(un\)directed distance between the node and any other node in the graph\. - __struct::graph::op::radius__ *g* ?*options*\.\.\.? This command determines the \(un\)directed *[radius](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#radius)* of the graph *g*\. It accepts the option __\-arcmode__ of __struct::graph::op::dijkstra__\. The \(un\)directed *[radius](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#radius)* of a graph is the minimal \(un\)directed *[eccentricity](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#eccentricity)* of all nodes in the graph\. - __struct::graph::op::diameter__ *g* ?*options*\.\.\.? This command determines the \(un\)directed *[diameter](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#diameter)* of the graph *g*\. It accepts the option __\-arcmode__ of __struct::graph::op::dijkstra__\. The \(un\)directed *[diameter](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#diameter)* of a graph is the maximal \(un\)directed *[eccentricity](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#eccentricity)* of all nodes in the graph\. - __struct::graph::op::BellmanFord__ *G* *startnode* Searching for [shortests paths](#subsection1) between chosen node and all other nodes in graph *G*\. Based on relaxation method\. In comparison to __struct::graph::op::dijkstra__ it doesn't need assumption that all weights on edges in input graph *G* have to be positive\. That generality sets the complexity of algorithm to \- *O\(V\*E\)*, where *V* is the number of vertices and *[E](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#e)* is number of edges in graph *G*\. * Arguments: + Graph object *G* \(input\) Directed, connected and edge weighted graph *G*, without any negative cycles \( presence of cycles with the negative sum of weight means that there is no shortest path, since the total weight becomes lower each time the cycle is traversed \)\. Negative weights on edges are allowed\. + Node *startnode* \(input\) The node for which we find all shortest paths to each other node in graph *G*\. * Result: Dictionary containing for each node \(key\) distances to each other node in graph *G*\. *Note:* If algorithm finds a negative cycle, it will return error message\. - __struct::graph::op::Johnsons__ *G* ?*options*\.\.\.? Searching for [shortest paths](#subsection1) between all pairs of vertices in graph\. For sparse graphs asymptotically quicker than __struct::graph::op::FloydWarshall__ algorithm\. Johnson's algorithm uses __struct::graph::op::BellmanFord__ and __struct::graph::op::dijkstra__ as subprocedures\. Time complexity: *O\(n\*\*2\*log\(n\) \+n\*m\)*, where *n* is the number of nodes and *m* is the number of edges in graph *G*\. * Arguments: + Graph object *G* \(input\) Directed graph *G*, weighted on edges and not containing any cycles with negative sum of weights \( the presence of such cycles means there is no shortest path, since the total weight becomes lower each time the cycle is traversed \)\. Negative weights on edges are allowed\. * Options: + __\-filter__ Returns only existing distances, cuts all *Inf* values for non\-existing connections between pairs of nodes\. * Result: Dictionary containing distances between all pairs of vertices\. - __struct::graph::op::FloydWarshall__ *G* Searching for [shortest paths](#subsection1) between all pairs of edges in weighted graphs\. Time complexity: *O\(V^3\)* \- where *V* is number of vertices\. Memory complexity: *O\(V^2\)*\. * Arguments: + Graph object *G* \(input\) Directed and weighted graph *G*\. * Result: Dictionary containing shortest distances to each node from each node\. *Note:* Algorithm finds solutions dynamically\. It compares all possible paths through the graph between each pair of vertices\. Graph shouldn't possess any cycle with negative sum of weights \(the presence of such cycles means there is no shortest path, since the total weight becomes lower each time the cycle is traversed\)\. On the other hand algorithm can be used to find those cycles \- if any shortest distance found by algorithm for any nodes *v* and *u* \(when *v* is the same node as *u*\) is negative, that node surely belong to at least one negative cycle\. - __struct::graph::op::MetricTravellingSalesman__ *G* Algorithm for solving a metric variation of [Travelling salesman problem](#subsection2)\. *TSP problem* is *NP\-Complete*, so there is no efficient algorithm to solve it\. Greedy methods are getting extremely slow, with the increase in the set of nodes\. * Arguments: + Graph object *G* \(input\) Undirected, weighted graph *G*\. * Result: Approximated solution of minimum *Hamilton Cycle* \- closed path visiting all nodes, each exactly one time\. *Note:* [It's 2\-approximation algorithm\.](#subsection7) - __struct::graph::op::Christofides__ *G* Another algorithm for solving [metric *TSP problem*](#subsection2)\. Christofides implementation uses *Max Matching* for reaching better approximation factor\. * Arguments: + Graph Object *G* \(input\) Undirected, weighted graph *G*\. * Result: Approximated solution of minimum *Hamilton Cycle* \- closed path visiting all nodes, each exactly one time\. *Note:* [It's is a 3/2 approximation algorithm\. ](#subsection7) - __struct::graph::op::GreedyMaxMatching__ *G* *Greedy Max Matching* procedure, which finds [maximal matching](#subsection3) \(not maximum\) for given graph *G*\. It adds edges to solution, beginning from edges with the lowest cost\. * Arguments: + Graph Object *G* \(input\) Undirected graph *G*\. * Result: Set of edges \- the max matching for graph *G*\. - __struct::graph::op::MaxCut__ *G* *U* *V* Algorithm solving a [Maximum Cut Problem](#subsection4)\. * Arguments: + Graph Object *G* \(input\) The graph to cut\. + List *U* \(output\) Variable storing first set of nodes \(cut\) given by solution\. + List *V* \(output\) Variable storing second set of nodes \(cut\) given by solution\. * Result: Algorithm returns number of edges between found two sets of nodes\. *Note:* *MaxCut* is a [2\-approximation algorithm\.](#subsection7) - __struct::graph::op::UnweightedKCenter__ *G* *k* Approximation algorithm that solves a [k\-center problem](#subsection5)\. * Arguments: + Graph Object *G* \(input\) Undirected complete graph *G*, which satisfies triangle inequality\. + Integer *k* \(input\) Positive integer that sets the number of nodes that will be included in *k\-center*\. * Result: Set of nodes \- *k* center for graph *G*\. *Note:* *UnweightedKCenter* is a [2\-approximation algorithm\.](#subsection7) - __struct::graph::op::WeightedKCenter__ *G* *nodeWeights* *W* Approximation algorithm that solves a weighted version of [k\-center problem](#subsection5)\. * Arguments: + Graph Object *G* \(input\) Undirected complete graph *G*, which satisfies triangle inequality\. + Integer *W* \(input\) Positive integer that sets the maximum possible weight of *k\-center* found by algorithm\. + List *nodeWeights* \(input\) List of nodes and its weights in graph *G*\. * Result: Set of nodes, which is solution found by algorithm\. *Note:**WeightedKCenter* is a [3\-approximation algorithm\.](#subsection7) - __struct::graph::op::GreedyMaxIndependentSet__ *G* A *maximal independent set* is an *[independent set](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#independent\_set)* such that adding any other node to the set forces the set to contain an edge\. Algorithm for input graph *G* returns set of nodes \(list\), which are contained in Max Independent Set found by algorithm\. - __struct::graph::op::GreedyWeightedMaxIndependentSet__ *G* *nodeWeights* Weighted variation of *Maximal Independent Set*\. It takes as an input argument not only graph *G* but also set of weights for all vertices in graph *G*\. *Note:* Read also *Maximal Independent Set* description for more info\. - __struct::graph::op::VerticesCover__ *G* *Vertices cover* is a set of vertices such that each edge of the graph is incident to at least one vertex of the set\. This 2\-approximation algorithm searches for minimum *vertices cover*, which is a classical optimization problem in computer science and is a typical example of an *NP\-hard* optimization problem that has an approximation algorithm\. For input graph *G* algorithm returns the set of edges \(list\), which is Vertex Cover found by algorithm\. - __struct::graph::op::EdmondsKarp__ *G* *s* *t* Improved Ford\-Fulkerson's algorithm, computing the [maximum flow](#subsection6) in given flow network *G*\. * Arguments: + Graph Object *G* \(input\) Weighted and directed graph\. Each edge should have set integer attribute considered as maximum throughputs that can be carried by that link \(edge\)\. + Node *s* \(input\) The node that is a source for graph *G*\. + Node *t* \(input\) The node that is a sink for graph *G*\. * Result: Procedure returns the dictionary containing throughputs for all edges\. For each key \( the edge between nodes *u* and *v* in the form of *list u v* \) there is a value that is a throughput for that key\. Edges where throughput values are equal to 0 are not returned \( it is like there was no link in the flow network between nodes connected by such edge\)\. The general idea of algorithm is finding the shortest augumenting paths in graph *G*, as long as they exist, and for each path updating the edge's weights along that path, with maximum possible throughput\. The final \(maximum\) flow is found when there is no other augumenting path from source to sink\. *Note:* Algorithm complexity : *O\(V\*E\)*, where *V* is the number of nodes and *[E](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#e)* is the number of edges in graph *G*\. - __struct::graph::op::BusackerGowen__ *G* *desiredFlow* *s* *t* Algorithm finds solution for a [minimum cost flow problem](#subsection6)\. So, the goal is to find a flow, whose max value can be *desiredFlow*, from source node *s* to sink node *t* in given flow network *G*\. That network except throughputs at edges has also defined a non\-negative cost on each edge \- cost of using that edge when directing flow with that edge \( it can illustrate e\.g\. fuel usage, time or any other measure dependent on usages \)\. * Arguments: + Graph Object *G* \(input\) Flow network \(directed graph\), each edge in graph should have two integer attributes: *cost* and *throughput*\. + Integer *desiredFlow* \(input\) Max value of the flow for that network\. + Node *s* \(input\) The source node for graph *G*\. + Node *t* \(input\) The sink node for graph *G*\. * Result: Dictionary containing values of used throughputs for each edge \( key \)\. found by algorithm\. *Note:* Algorithm complexity : *O\(V\*\*2\*desiredFlow\)*, where *V* is the number of nodes in graph *G*\. - __struct::graph::op::ShortestsPathsByBFS__ *G* *s* *outputFormat* Shortest pathfinding algorithm using BFS method\. In comparison to __struct::graph::op::dijkstra__ it can work with negative weights on edges\. Of course negative cycles are not allowed\. Algorithm is better than dijkstra for sparse graphs, but also there exist some pathological cases \(those cases generally don't appear in practise\) that make time complexity increase exponentially with the growth of the number of nodes\. * Arguments: + Graph Object *G* \(input\) Input graph\. + Node *s* \(input\) Source node for which all distances to each other node in graph *G* are computed\. * Options and result: + __distances__ When selected *outputFormat* is __distances__ \- procedure returns dictionary containing distances between source node *s* and each other node in graph *G*\. + __paths__ When selected *outputFormat* is __paths__ \- procedure returns dictionary containing for each node *v*, a list of nodes, which is a path between source node *s* and node *v*\. - __struct::graph::op::BFS__ *G* *s* ?*outputFormat*\.\.\.? Breadth\-First Search \- algorithm creates the BFS Tree\. Memory and time complexity: *O\(V \+ E\)*, where *V* is the number of nodes and *[E](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#e)* is number of edges\. * Arguments: + Graph Object *G* \(input\) Input graph\. + Node *s* \(input\) Source node for BFS procedure\. * Options and result: + __graph__ When selected __outputFormat__ is __graph__ \- procedure returns a graph structure \(__[struct::graph](graph\.md)__\), which is equivalent to BFS tree found by algorithm\. + __tree__ When selected __outputFormat__ is __tree__ \- procedure returns a tree structure \(__[struct::tree](struct\_tree\.md)__\), which is equivalent to BFS tree found by algorithm\. - __struct::graph::op::MinimumDiameterSpanningTree__ *G* The goal is to find for input graph *G*, the *spanning tree* that has the minimum *[diameter](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#diameter)* value\. General idea of algorithm is to run *[BFS](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#bfs)* over all vertices in graph *G*\. If the diameter *d* of the tree is odd, then we are sure that tree given by *[BFS](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#bfs)* is minimum \(considering diameter value\)\. When, diameter *d* is even, then optimal tree can have minimum *[diameter](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#diameter)* equal to *d* or *d\-1*\. In that case, what algorithm does is rebuilding the tree given by *[BFS](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#bfs)*, by adding a vertice between root node and root's child node \(nodes\), such that subtree created with child node as root node is the greatest one \(has the greatests height\)\. In the next step for such rebuilded tree, we run again *[BFS](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#bfs)* with new node as root node\. If the height of the tree didn't changed, we have found a better solution\. For input graph *G* algorithm returns the graph structure \(__[struct::graph](graph\.md)__\) that is a spanning tree with minimum diameter found by algorithm\. - __struct::graph::op::MinimumDegreeSpanningTree__ *G* Algorithm finds for input graph *G*, a spanning tree *T* with the minimum possible degree\. That problem is *NP\-hard*, so algorithm is an approximation algorithm\. Let *V* be the set of nodes for graph *G* and let *W* be any subset of *V*\. Lets assume also that *OPT* is optimal solution and *ALG* is solution found by algorithm for input graph *G*\.

Further heuristics of local searching \(e\.g\. 4\-approximation\) doesn't give enough boost to square the increase of approximation factor, so 2 and 3 approximations are mainly used\. - __struct::graph::op::createSquaredGraph__ *G* X\-Squared graph is a graph with the same set of nodes as input graph *G*, but a different set of edges\. X\-Squared graph has edge *\(u,v\)*, if and only if, the distance between *u* and *v* nodes is not greater than X and *u \!= v*\. Procedure for input graph *G*, returns its two\-squared graph\. *Note:* Distances used in choosing new set of edges are considering the number of edges, not the sum of weights at edges\. - __struct::graph::op::createCompleteGraph__ *G* *originalEdges* For input graph *G* procedure adds missing arcs to make it a *[complete graph](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#complete\_graph)*\. It also holds in variable *originalEdges* the set of arcs that graph *G* possessed before that operation\. # Background theory and terms ## Shortest Path Problem - Definition \(*single\-pair shortest path problem*\): Formally, given a weighted graph \(let *V* be the set of vertices, and *[E](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#e)* a set of edges\), and one vertice *v* of *V*, find a path *P* from *v* to a *v'* of V so that the sum of weights on edges along the path is minimal among all paths connecting v to v'\. - Generalizations: * *The single\-source shortest path problem*, in which we have to find shortest paths from a source vertex v to all other vertices in the graph\. * *The single\-destination shortest path problem*, in which we have to find shortest paths from all vertices in the graph to a single destination vertex v\. This can be reduced to the single\-source shortest path problem by reversing the edges in the graph\. * *The all\-pairs shortest path problem*, in which we have to find shortest paths between every pair of vertices v, v' in the graph\. *Note:* The result of *Shortest Path problem* can be *Shortest Path tree*, which is a subgraph of a given \(possibly weighted\) graph constructed so that the distance between a selected root node and all other nodes is minimal\. It is a tree because if there are two paths between the root node and some vertex v \(i\.e\. a cycle\), we can delete the last edge of the longer path without increasing the distance from the root node to any node in the subgraph\. ## Travelling Salesman Problem - Definition: For given edge\-weighted \(weights on edges should be positive\) graph the goal is to find the cycle that visits each node in graph exactly once \(*Hamiltonian cycle*\)\. - Generalizations: * *Metric TSP* \- A very natural restriction of the *TSP* is to require that the distances between cities form a *metric*, i\.e\., they satisfy *the triangle inequality*\. That is, for any 3 cities *A*, *B* and *[C](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#c)*, the distance between *A* and *[C](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#c)* must be at most the distance from *A* to *B* plus the distance from *B* to *[C](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#c)*\. Most natural instances of *TSP* satisfy this constraint\. * *Euclidean TSP* \- Euclidean TSP, or *planar TSP*, is the *TSP* with the distance being the ordinary *Euclidean distance*\. *Euclidean TSP* is a particular case of *TSP* with *triangle inequality*, since distances in plane obey triangle inequality\. However, it seems to be easier than general *TSP* with *triangle inequality*\. For example, *the minimum spanning tree* of the graph associated with an instance of *Euclidean TSP* is a *Euclidean minimum spanning tree*, and so can be computed in expected *O\(n log n\)* time for *n* points \(considerably less than the number of edges\)\. This enables the simple *2\-approximation algorithm* for TSP with triangle inequality above to operate more quickly\. * *Asymmetric TSP* \- In most cases, the distance between two nodes in the *TSP* network is the same in both directions\. The case where the distance from *A* to *B* is not equal to the distance from *B* to *A* is called *asymmetric TSP*\. A practical application of an *asymmetric TSP* is route optimisation using street\-level routing \(asymmetric due to one\-way streets, slip\-roads and motorways\)\. ## Matching Problem - Definition: Given a graph *G = \(V,E\)*, a matching or *edge\-independent set* *M* in *G* is a set of pairwise non\-adjacent edges, that is, no two edges share a common vertex\. A vertex is *matched* if it is incident to an edge in the *matching M*\. Otherwise the vertex is *unmatched*\. - Generalizations: * *Maximal matching* \- a matching *M* of a graph G with the property that if any edge not in *M* is added to *M*, it is no longer a *[matching](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#matching)*, that is, *M* is maximal if it is not a proper subset of any other *[matching](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#matching)* in graph G\. In other words, a *matching M* of a graph G is maximal if every edge in G has a non\-empty intersection with at least one edge in *M*\. * *Maximum matching* \- a matching that contains the largest possible number of edges\. There may be many *maximum matchings*\. The *matching number* of a graph G is the size of a *maximum matching*\. Note that every *maximum matching* is *maximal*, but not every *maximal matching* is a *maximum matching*\. * *Perfect matching* \- a matching which matches all vertices of the graph\. That is, every vertex of the graph is incident to exactly one edge of the matching\. Every *perfect matching* is *[maximum](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#maximum)* and hence *maximal*\. In some literature, the term *complete matching* is used\. A *perfect matching* is also a *minimum\-size edge cover*\. Moreover, the size of a *maximum matching* is no larger than the size of a *minimum edge cover*\. * *Near\-perfect matching* \- a matching in which exactly one vertex is unmatched\. This can only occur when the graph has an odd number of vertices, and such a *[matching](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#matching)* must be *[maximum](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#maximum)*\. If, for every vertex in a graph, there is a near\-perfect matching that omits only that vertex, the graph is also called *factor\-critical*\. - Related terms: * *Alternating path* \- given a matching *M*, an *alternating path* is a path in which the edges belong alternatively to the matching and not to the matching\. * *[Augmenting path](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#augmenting\_path)* \- given a matching *M*, an *[augmenting path](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#augmenting\_path)* is an *alternating path* that starts from and ends on free \(unmatched\) vertices\. ## Cut Problems - Definition: A *cut* is a partition of the vertices of a graph into two *disjoint subsets*\. The *cut\-set* of the *cut* is the set of edges whose end points are in different subsets of the partition\. Edges are said to be crossing the cut if they are in its *cut\-set*\. Formally: * a *cut* *C = \(S,T\)* is a partition of *V* of a graph *G = \(V, E\)*\. * an *s\-t cut* *C = \(S,T\)* of a *[flow network](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#flow\_network)* *N = \(V, E\)* is a cut of *N* such that *s* is included in *S* and *t* is included in *T*, where *s* and *t* are the *[source](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#source)* and the *sink* of *N* respectively\. * The *cut\-set* of a *cut C = \(S,T\)* is such set of edges from graph *G = \(V, E\)* that each edge *\(u, v\)* satisfies condition that *u* is included in *S* and *v* is included in *T*\. In an *unweighted undirected* graph, the size or weight of a cut is the number of edges crossing the cut\. In a *weighted graph*, the same term is defined by the sum of the weights of the edges crossing the cut\. In a *[flow network](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#flow\_network)*, an *s\-t cut* is a cut that requires the *[source](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#source)* and the *sink* to be in different subsets, and its *cut\-set* only consists of edges going from the *source's* side to the *sink's* side\. The capacity of an *s\-t cut* is defined by the sum of capacity of each edge in the *cut\-set*\. The *cut* of a graph can sometimes refer to its *cut\-set* instead of the partition\. - Generalizations: * *Minimum cut* \- A cut is minimum if the size of the cut is not larger than the size of any other cut\. * *Maximum cut* \- A cut is maximum if the size of the cut is not smaller than the size of any other cut\. * *Sparsest cut* \- The *Sparsest cut problem* is to bipartition the vertices so as to minimize the ratio of the number of edges across the cut divided by the number of vertices in the smaller half of the partition\. ## K\-Center Problem - Definitions: * *Unweighted K\-Center* For any set *S* \( which is subset of *V* \) and node *v*, let the *connect\(v,S\)* be the cost of cheapest edge connecting *v* with any node in *S*\. The goal is to find such *S*, that *|S| = k* and *max\_v\{connect\(v,S\)\}* is possibly small\. In other words, we can use it i\.e\. for finding best locations in the city \( nodes of input graph \) for placing k buildings, such that those buildings will be as close as possible to all other locations in town\. * *Weighted K\-Center* The variation of *unweighted k\-center problem*\. Besides the fact graph is edge\-weighted, there are also weights on vertices of input graph *G*\. We've got also restriction *W*\. The goal is to choose such set of nodes *S* \( which is a subset of *V* \), that it's total weight is not greater than *W* and also function: *max\_v \{ min\_u \{ cost\(u,v\) \}\}* has the smallest possible worth \( *v* is a node in *V* and *u* is a node in *S* \)\. ## Flow Problems - Definitions: * *the maximum flow problem* \- the goal is to find a feasible flow through a single\-source, single\-sink flow network that is maximum\. The *maximum flow problem* can be seen as a special case of more complex network flow problems, such as the *circulation problem*\. The maximum value of an *s\-t flow* is equal to the minimum capacity of an *s\-t cut* in the network, as stated in the *max\-flow min\-cut theorem*\. More formally for flow network *G = \(V,E\)*, where for each edge *\(u, v\)* we have its throuhgput *c\(u,v\)* defined\. As *[flow](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#flow)* *F* we define set of non\-negative integer attributes *f\(u,v\)* assigned to edges, satisfying such conditions: 1. for each edge *\(u, v\)* in *G* such condition should be satisfied: 0 <= f\(u,v\) <= c\(u,v\) 1. Network *G* has source node *s* such that the flow *F* is equal to the sum of outcoming flow decreased by the sum of incoming flow from that source node *s*\. 1. Network *G* has sink node *t* such that the the *\-F* value is equal to the sum of the incoming flow decreased by the sum of outcoming flow from that sink node *t*\. 1. For each node that is not a *[source](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#source)* or *sink* the sum of incoming flow and sum of outcoming flow should be equal\. * *the minimum cost flow problem* \- the goal is finding the cheapest possible way of sending a certain amount of flow through a *[flow network](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#flow\_network)*\. * *[blocking flow](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#blocking\_flow)* \- a *[blocking flow](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#blocking\_flow)* for a *residual network* *Gf* we name such flow *b* in *Gf* that: 1. Each path from *sink* to *[source](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#source)* is the shortest path in *Gf*\. 1. Each shortest path in *Gf* contains an edge with fully used throughput in *Gf\+b*\. * *residual network* \- for a flow network *G* and flow *f* *residual network* is built with those edges, which can send larger flow\. It contains only those edges, which can send flow larger than 0\. * *level network* \- it has the same set of nodes as *[residual graph](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#residual\_graph)*, but has only those edges *\(u,v\)* from *Gf* for which such equality is satisfied: *distance\(s,u\)\+1 = distance\(s,v\)*\. * *[augmenting network](\.\./\.\./\.\./\.\./index\.md\#augmenting\_network)* \- it is a modification of *residual network* considering the new flow values\. Structure stays unchanged but values of throughputs and costs at edges are different\. ## Approximation algorithm - k\-approximation algorithm: Algorithm is a k\-approximation, when for *ALG* \(solution returned by algorithm\) and *OPT* \(optimal solution\), such inequality is true: * for minimalization problems: *ALG/OPT <= k* * for maximalization problems: *OPT/ALG <= k* # References 1.
