This article deals with incorporating the mean absolute deviation objective function in several robust single facility location models on networks with dynamic evolution of node weights, which are modeled by means of linear functions of a parameter. Specifically, we have considered two robustness criteria applied to the mean absolute deviation problem: the MinMax criterion, and the MinMax regret criterion...
This article studies the double traveling salesman problem with two stacks. A number of requests have to be served where each request consists in the pickup and delivery of an item. All the pickup operations have to be performed before any delivery can take place. A single vehicle is available that starts from a depot, performs all the pickup operations and returns to the depot. Then, it performs...
The pseudoflow algorithm for solving the maximum flow and minimum cut problems was devised in Hochbaum (2008). The complexity of the algorithm was shown in (2008) to be O(nm log n). Chandran and Hochbaum, (2009) demonstrated that the pseudoflow algorithm is very efficient in practice, and that the highest label version of the algorithm tends to perform best. Here, we improve the running time of the...
Given a weighted graph G = (V,E) and a subset U of V, we define several graphs with vertex set U in which two vertices are adjacent if they satisfy a specific proximity rule. These rules use the shortest path distance in G and generalize the proximity rules that generate some of the most common proximity graphs in Euclidean spaces. We prove basic properties of the defined graphs and provide algorithms...
For a strongly connected digraph D the restricted arc‐connectivity λ′(D) is defined as the minimum cardinality of an arc‐cut over all arc‐cuts S satisfying that D ‐ S has a non‐trivial strong component D1 such that D ‐ V (D1) contains an arc. In this paper we prove that every digraph on at least 4 vertices and of minimum degree at least 2 is λ′ ‐connected and λ′(D) ≤ξ′(D), where ξ′(D) is the minimum...
This article considers the problem of using synchronous mobile agents to decontaminate the nodes of a graph given a spreading contamination. We begin by considering the problem of minimizing cleaning time, given initial agent, and contamination locations. Then, we take as input a set of all possible locations in which a contamination can start and examine problems in which we strategically preposition...
