  • The class of doubly chordal graphs is a subclass of chordal graphs and a superclass of strongly chordal graphs which arise in so many application areas. Many optimization problems like domination and Steiner tree are NP-complete on chordal graps but can be solved in polynomial time on doubly chordal graphs. The central to designing efficient algorithms for doulby chordal graphs is the concept of (canonical)doubly perfect elimination orderings. We present linear time algorithms to compute a (canonical) double perfect elimination ordering of a doubly chordal graph.

  • This paper considers the problem of designing logical tunnels in virtual private networks considering QoS guarantee which restricts the number of tunnel hops for each traffic routing. The previous researches focused on the design of logical tunnel itself and Steiner-tree based solution algorithms were proposed. However, we show that for some objective settings it is not sufficient and is necessary to consider both physical and logical connectivity at the same time. Thereupon, the concept of the layered network is applied to the logical tunnel design problem in virtual private networks. The layered network approach considers the design of logical tunnel as well as its physical routing and we propose a modified branch-and-price algorithm which is known to solve layered network design problems effectively. To show the performance of the proposed algorithm, computational experiments have been done and the results show that the proposed algorithm solves the given problem efficiently and effectively.

  • 본 논문에서는 개미 집단 최적화(Ant Colony Optimization, ACO)의 시간적 공간적 효율성을 향상시키기 위해 ACO에 엘리트 콤팩트 유전 알고리즘(Elitist compact Genetic Algorithms, elitist cGAs)의 아이디어를 적용한 콤팩트 개미 최적화(Compact elitist Ant Optimization, CAO)를 제안한다. CAO는 elitist cGAs에서 각 세대마다 염색체의 수를 둘로 고정하고 우월한 염색체를 유지하여 최적의 해를 찾는 방식을 적용하여 개미의 수를 하나로 고정하고 전이 확률식과 페로몬 갱신 규칙을 변형하고 특정 문제에 적용할 수 있는 타부 규칙을 추가한 알고리즘이다. 이 알고리즘의 공간 효율성이 ACO보다 좋다는 것을 증명하고 스테이너 트리 문제(Steiner Tree Problem)에 적용하여 제안된 알고리즘의 시간 효율성이 ACO보다 좋다는 것을 보인다.

  • The efficient send and receive of information in VANET improves the efficiency of the safety and traffic services advertisment and discovery. However, if the V2V is the only communication system used, the restrictions of the urban environment and network drop the performance of VANET. In order to improve the performance of the network, it is necessary to use V2I communication as well as V2V communication. Therefore, RSUs must be placed in the environment. However due to the high costs of placement, the full coverage of the environment would not be possible. Therefore, it is necessary to optimally install a limited number of RSUs in the environment.

  • The purpose of this paper is to analysis the basic network problem which can be applied to the mathematically gifted students in elementary school. Mainly, we discuss didactic transpositions of the double counting principle, the game of sprouts, Eulerian graph problem, and the minimum connector problem. Here the double counting principle is related to the handshaking lemma; in any graph, the sum of all the vertex-degree is equal to the number of edges. The selection of these subjects are based on the viewpoint; to familiar to graph theory, to raise algorithmic thinking, to apply to the real-world problem. The theoretical background of didactic transpositions of these subjects are based on the Polya's mathematical heuristics and Lakatos's philosophy of mathematics; quasi-empirical, proofs and refutations as a logic of mathematical discovery.

  • This paper proposes a method to find an optimal T' with the most terminal of the subset of T' trees that can be connected by a given length by improving a memetic genetic algorithm within several constraints, when the set of terminal T is given to the Euclidean plane R2. Constraint (1) is that a given length cannot connect all terminals of T, and (2) considers only the rectilinear layout of the edge connecting each terminal. The construction of interconnections has been used in various design-related areas, from network to architecture. Among these areas, there are cases where only the rectilinear layout is considered, such as wiring paths in the computer network and VLSI design, network design, and circuit connection length estimation in standard cell deployment. Therefore, the heuristics proposed in this paper are expected to provide various cost savings in the rectilinear layout.

  • This paper deals with the interconnection problem in ad-hoc networks or sensor networks, where relay nodes are deployed additionally to form connections between given nodes. This problem can be reduced to a NP-hard problem. The nodes of the networks, by applications or geographic factors, can be deployed densely in some areas while sparsely in others. For such a case one can make an approximation scheme, which gives shorter execution time, for the additional node deployments by ignoring the interconnections inside the dense area of nodes. However, the case is still a NP-hard, so it is proper to establish a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) by implementing a dynamic programming. The analysis can be made possible by an elaboration on making the definition of the objective function. The objective function should be defined to be able to deal with the requirement incurred by the substitution of the dense area with its abstraction.

  • Ant Algorithm is used to find the solution of Combinatorial Optimization Problems. Real ants are capable of finding the shortest path from a food source to their nest without using visual informations. This behavior of real ants has inspired ant algorithm. There are various versions of Ant Algorithm. Ant Colony System (ACS) is introduced lately. ACS is applied to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) for verifying the availability of ACS and evaluating the performance of ACS. ACS find a good solution for TSP When ACS is applied to different Combinatorial Optimization Problems, ACS uses the same parameters and strategies that were used for TSP. In this paper, ACS is applied to the Multicast Routing Problem. This Problem is to find the paths from a source to all destination nodes. This definition differs from that of TSP and differs from finding paths which are the shortest paths from source node to each destination nodes. We introduce parameters and strategies of ACS for Multicasting Routing Problem.
