Abstract:
Given an undirected graph with weights associated with its vertices, the minimum weight vertex cover problem seeks a subset of vertices with minimum sum of weights such that each edge of the graph has at least one endpoint belonging to the subset. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach, combining a steady-state genetic algorithm and a greedy heuristic, for the minimum weight vertex cover problem. The genetic algorithm generates vertex cover, which is then reduced to minimal weight vertex cover by the heuristic. We have evaluated the performance of our algorithm on several test problems of varying sizes. Computational results show the effectiveness of our approach in solving the minimum weight vertex cover problem.

Abstract:
Given an integer k ≥ 2, a k-path is a path on k vertices. A set of vertices in a graph G is called a k-path vertex cover if it includes at least one vertex of every k-path of G. A minimum k-path vertex cover in G is a k-path vertex cover having the smallest possible number of vertices and its cardinality is called the k-path vertex cover number of G. In the k-path vertex cover problem, the goal is to find a minimum k-path vertex cover in a given graph. In this paper, we present a brief survey of the current state of the art in the study of the k-path vertex cover problem and the k-path vertex cover number.

We focus the solution space of a most fundamental problem - Minimum Vertex-Cover problem - in theoretical computer science. After some rigorous analysis, we provide the formation mechanism of minimum vertex-cover solutions on the tree and give the organization of these solutions on arbitrary lattice structure. By the results, we can easily calculate the solution numbers on these structures and have better understanding of the hardness of Minimum Vertex-Cover problem. The proposed study and algorithm can make a new way on detecting the essential difficulty of NP-complete problems and designing efficient algorithms on solving them.

Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a branch-and-bound algorithm to solve exactly the minimum vertex cover (MVC) problem. Since a tight lower bound for MVC has a significant influence on the efficiency of a branch-and-bound algorithm, we define two novel lower bounds to help prune the search space. One is based on the degree of vertices, and the other is based on MaxSAT reasoning. The experiment confirms that our algorithm is faster than previous exact algorithms and can find better results than heuristic algorithms.

Abstract:
A number of algorithms have been proposed for the Minimum Vertex Cover problem. However, they are far from satisfactory, especially on hard instances. In this paper, we introduce Edge Weighting Local Search (EWLS), a new local search algorithm for the Minimum Vertex Cover problem. EWLS is based on the idea of extending a partial vertex cover into a vertex cover. A key point of EWLS is to find a vertex set that provides a tight upper bound on the size of the minimum vertex cover. To this purpose, EWLS employs an iterated local search procedure, using an edge weighting scheme which updates edge weights when stuck in local optima. Moreover, some sophisticated search strategies have been taken to improve the quality of local optima. Experimental results on the broadly used DIMACS benchmark show that EWLS is competitive with the current best heuristic algorithms, and outperforms them on hard instances. Furthermore, on a suite of difficult benchmarks, EWLS delivers the best results and sets a new record on the largest instance.

Abstract:
We present a set of approximation results for several covering problems in dense graphs. These results show that for several problems, classical algorithms with constant approximation ratios can be analyzed in a finer way, and provide better constant approximation ratios under some density constraints. In particular, we show that the maximal matching heuristic approximates VERTEX COVER (VC) and MINIMUM MAXIMAL MATCHING (MMM) with a constant ratio strictly smaller than 2 when the proportion of edges present in the graph (weak density) is at least 3/4, or when the normalized minimum degree (strong density) is at least 1/2. We also show that this result can be improved by a greedy algorithm which provides a constant ratio smaller than 2 when the weak density is at least 1/2. We also provide tight families of graphs for all these approximation ratios. We then looked at several algorithms from the literature for VC and SET COVER (SC). We present a unified and critical approach to the Karpinski/Zelikovsky, Imamura/Iwama and Bar-Yehuda/Kehat algorithms, identifying the general the general scheme underlying these algorithms.

Finally, we look at the CONNECTED VERTEX COVER (CVC) problem,for which we proposed new approximation results in dense graphs. We first analyze Carla Savage's algorithm, then a new variant of the Karpinski-Zelikovsky algorithm. Our results show that these algorithms provide the same approximation ratios for CVC as the maximal matching heuristic and the Karpinski-Zelikovsky algorithm did for VC. We provide tight examples for the ratios guaranteed by both algorithms. We also introduce a new invariant, the "price of connectivity of VC", defined as the ratio between the optimal solutions of CVC and VC, and showed a nearly tight upper bound on its value as a function of the weak density. Our last chapter discusses software aspects, and presents the use of the GRAPHEDRON software in the framework of approximation algorithms, as well as our contributions to the development of this system.

Nous présentons un ensemble de résultats d'approximation pour plusieurs problèmes de couverture dans les graphes denses. Ces résultats montrent que pour plusieurs problèmes, des algorithmes classiques à facteur d'approximation constant peuvent être analysés de manière plus fine, et garantissent de meilleurs facteurs d'aproximation constants sous certaines contraintes de densité. Nous montrons en particulier que l'heuristique du matching maximal approxime les problèmes VERTEX COVER (VC) et MINIMUM MAXIMAL MATCHING (MMM) avec un facteur constant inférieur à 2 quand la proportion d'arêtes présentes dans le graphe (densité faible) est supérieure à 3/4 ou quand le degré minimum normalisé (densité forte) est supérieur à 1/2. Nous montrons également que ce résultat peut être amélioré par un algorithme de type GREEDY, qui fournit un facteur constant inférieur à 2 pour des densités faibles supérieures à 1/2. Nous donnons également des familles de graphes extrémaux pour nos facteurs d'approximation. Nous nous somme ensuite intéressés à plusieurs algorithmes de la littérature pour les problèmes VC et SET COVER (SC). Nous avons présenté une approche unifiée et critique des algorithmes de Karpinski-Zelikovsky, Imamura-Iwama, et Bar-Yehuda-Kehat, identifiant un schéma général dans lequel s'intègrent ces algorithmes.

Ces résultats montrent que nous pouvons obtenir pour CVC les mêmes facteurs d'approximation que ceux obtenus pour VC à l'aide de l'heuristique du matching maximal et de l'algorithme de Karpinski-Zelikovsky. Nous montrons également des familles de graphes extrémaux pour les ratios garantis par ces deux algorithmes. Nous avons également étudié un nouvel invariant, le coût de connectivité de VC, défini comme le rapport entre les solutions optimales de CVC et de VC, et montré une borne supérieure sur sa valeur en fonction de la densité faible. Notre dernier chapitre discute d'aspects logiciels, et présente l'utilisation du logiciel GRAPHEDRON dans le cadre des algorithmes d'approximation, ainsi que nos contributions au développement du logiciel.

Abstract:
Given a simple graph G with vertex set V(G)={1,2,...,n} define S(G) to be the set of all real symmetric matrices A such that for all i not equal to j, the ijth entry of A is nonzero if and only if ij is in E(G). The range of the ranks of matrices in S(G) is of interest and can be determined by finding the minimum rank. The minimum rank of a graph, denoted mr(G), is the minimum rank achieved by a matrix in S(G). The maximum nullity of a graph, denoted M(G), is the maximum nullity achieved by a matrix in S(G). Note that mr(G)+M(G)=|V(G)| and so in finding the maximum nullity of a graph, the minimum rank of a graph is also determined. The minimum rank problem for a graph G asks us to determine mr(G) which in general is very difficult. A simple graph is planar if there exists a drawing of G in the plane such that any two line segments representing edges of G intersect only at a point which represents a vertex of G. A planar drawing partitions the rest of the plane into open regions called faces. A graph is outerplanar if there exists a planar drawing of G such that every vertex lies on the outer face. We consider the class of outerplanar graphs and summarize some of the recent results concerning the minimum rank problem for this class. The path cover number of a graph, denoted P(G), is the minimum number of vertex-disjoint paths needed to cover all the vertices of G. We show that for all outerplanar graphs G, P(G)is greater than or equal to M(G). We identify a subclass of outerplanar graphs, called partial 2-paths, for which P(G)=M(G). We give a different characterization for another subset of outerplanar graphs, unicyclic graphs, which determines whether M(G)=P(G) or M(G)=P(G)-1. We give an example of a 2-connected outerplanar graph for which P(G) ≥ M(G).A cover of a graph G is a collection of subgraphs of G such that the union of the edge sets of the subgraphs is equal to the E(G). The rank-sum of a cover C of G is denoted as rs(C) and is equal to the sum of the minimum ranks of the subgraphs in C. We show that for an outerplanar graph G, there exists an edge-disjoint cover of G consisting of cliques, stars, cycles, and double cycles such that the rank-sum of the cover is equal to the minimum rank of G. Using the fact that such a cover exists allows us to show that the minimum rank of a weighted outerplanar graph is equal to the minimum rank of its underlying simple graph.

For each B∈{0,1}, a B-skip vertex cover of an undirected graph G=(V,E) refers to a set of vertices which are incident to at least |E|-B edges. We show that given G, B and a weight function w:V→Z^+, a minimum B-skip vertex cover of weight at most ⌈log_2⁡〖|V|〗 ⌉, if it exists, can be found in polynomial time. Our result and proof generalize those of Papadimitriou and Yannakakis.

This study presents a variant of the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP), namely, the minimum cost vertex-disjoint path cover problem (MCVDPCP). In contrast to CVRP in which the vehicles start and end at the depot, vehicle routes in MCVDPCP involve a set of vertex-disjoint paths where a vehicle starts at a particular customer and finishes at another customer. Thus, MCVDPCP is defined to find a set of service paths to serve a set of customers with known geographical locations and demands; it aims to minimize the total of vehicle travel cost and vehicle activation cost. A hybrid approach that integrates variable neighborhood search (VNS) and tabu search (TS) is developed to solve the aforementioned problem. This algorithm presents the new concept of exploring a neighborhood solution by utilizing multi-neighborhood sets and applying the systematic changing neighborhood of VNS to modify a neighborhood set. TS is also incorporated into the algorithm to guide the search toward diverse regions. The proposed algorithm is tested on 14 instances of MCVDPCP, which are generated from well-known CVRP benchmark instances. Results indicate that the proposed algorithm efficiently solves MCVDPCP. Furthermore, a numerical experiment is performed on the problem using Taipei as the case study and considering the effects of vehicle capacity, maximum route duration, and demand variability.

In the minimum cost vertex–disjoint path cover problem (MCVDPCP), each vehicle serves customers directly from its location without having to start from or return to a depot. The aim of the MCVDPCP is to minimize the total vehicle travel cost without violating the vehicle capacity constraint and the maximum tour length. An application of the problem can be found in companies hiring freelance workers to serve customers to reduce operational costs. In this study, we propose a particle swarm optimization algorithm for solving the MCVDPCP with an aim at obtaining better results than the previous study.

A subset S of vertices in graph G is a k-path vertex cover if every path of order k in G contains at least one vertex from S. The cardinality of a minimum k-path vertex cover is called the k-path vertex cover number of a graph G. In this thesis, we consider the weighted version of a k-path vertex cover problem, in which vertices are given weights, and propose an O(n3) algorithm for solving this problem in cactus graphs.

Abstract:
The inapproximability for NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems lies in the heart of theoretical computer science. A negative result can be either conditional, where the starting point is a complexity assumption, or unconditional, where the inapproximability holds for a restricted model of computation. Algorithms based on Linear Programming (LP) and Semidefinite Programming (SDP) relaxations are among the most prominent models of computation. The related and common measure of efficiency is the integrality gap, which sets the limitations of the associated algorithmic schemes. A number of systematic procedures, known as lift-and-project systems, have been proposed to improve the integrality gap of standard relaxations. These systems build strong hierarchies of either LP relaxations, such as the Lovasz-Schrijver (LS) and the Sherali-Adams (SA) systems, or SDP relaxations, such as the Lovasz-Schrijver SDP (LS+), the Sherali-Adams SDP (SA+) and the Lasserre (La) systems. In this thesis we prove integrality gap lower bounds for the aforementioned lift-and-project systems and for a number of combinatorial optimization problems, whose inapproximability is yet unresolved. Given that lift-and-project systems produce relaxations that have given the best algorithms known for a series of combinatorial problems, the lower bounds can be read as strong evidence of the inapproximability of the corresponding optimization problems. From the results found in the thesis we highlight the following: For every epsilon>0, the level-Omega(sqrt(log n/ log log n)) LS+ relaxation of the Vertex Cover polytope has integrality gap 2-epsilon. The integrality gap of the standard SDP for Vertex Cover remains 2-o(1) even if all hypermetric inequalities are added to the relaxation. The resulting relaxations are incomparable to the SDP relaxations derived by the LS+ system. Finally, the addition of all ell1 inequalities eliminates all solutions not in the integral hull. For every epsilon>0, the level-Omega(sqrt(log n/ log log n)) SA relaxation of Vertex Cover has integrality gap 2-epsilon. The integrality gap remains tight even for superconstant-level SA+ relaxations. We prove a tight lower bound for the number of tightenings that the SA system needs in order to prove the Pigeonhole Principle. We also prove sublinear and linear rank bounds for the La and SA systems respectively for the Tseitin tautology. Linear levels of the SA+ system treat highly unsatisfiable instances of fixed predicate-P constraint satisfaction problems over q-ary alphabets as fully satisfiable, when the satisfying assignments of the predicates P can be equipped with a balanced and pairwise independent distribution. We study the performance of the Lasserre system on the cut polytope. When the input is the complete graph on 2d+1 vertices, we show that the integrality gap is at least 1+1/(4d(d+1)) for the level-d SDP relaxation.

Abstract:
The use of energy in buildings is a complex problem, but it can be reduced and alleviated by making appropriate decisions. Therefore, architects face a major and responsible task of designing the built environment in such a way that its energy dependence will be reduced to a minimum, while at the same time being able to provide comfortable living conditions. Today, architects have many tools at their disposal, facilitating the design process and simultaneously ensuring proper assessment in the early stages of building design. The purpose of this book is to present ongoing research from the universities involved in the project Creating the Network of Knowledge Labs for Sustainable and Resilient Environments (KLABS). This book attempts to highlight the problem of energy use in buildings and propose certain solutions. It consists of nine chapters, organised in three parts. The gathering of chapters into parts serves to identify the different themes that the designer needs to consider, namely energy resources, energy use and comfort, and energy efficiency. Part 1, entitled “Sustainable and Resilient Energy Resources,” sets off by informing the reader about the basic principles of energy sources, production, and use. The chapters give an overview of all forms of energies and energy cycle from resources to end users and evaluate the resilience of renewable energy systems. This information is essential to realise that the building, as an energy consumer, is part of a greater system and the decisions can be made at different levels. Part 2, entitled “Energy and Comfort in the Built Environment”, explain the relationship between energy use and thermal comfort in buildings and how it is predicted. Buildings consume energy to meet the users’ needs and to provide comfort. The appropriate selection of materials has a direct impact on the thermal properties of a building. Moreover, comfort is affected by parameters such as temperature, humidity, air movement, air quality, lighting, and noise. Understanding and calculating those conditions are valuable skills for the designers. After the basics of energy use in buildings have been explained, Part 3, entitled “Energy Saving Strategies” aims to provide information and tools that enable an energy- and environmentally-conscious design. This part is the most extensive as it aims to cover different design aspects. Firstly, passive and active measures that the building design needs to include are explained. Those measures are seen from the perspective of heat flow and generation. The Passive House concept, which is explained in the second chapter of Part 3, is a design approach that successfully incorporates such measures, resulting in low energy use by the building. Other considerations that the following chapters cover are solar control, embodied energy and CO2 emissions, and finally economic evaluation. The energy saving strategies explained in this book, despite not being exhaustive, provide basic knowledge that the designer can use and build upon during the design of new buildings and existing building upgrades. In the context of sustainability and resilience of the built environment, the reduction of energy demand is crucial. This book aims to provide a basic understanding of the energy flows in buildings and the subsequent impact for the building’s operation and its occupants. Most importantly, it covers the principles that need to be taken into account in energy efficient building design and demonstrates their effectiveness. Designers are shaping the built environment and it is their task to make energy-conscious and informed decisions that result in comfortable and resilient buildings.

Abstract:
AbstractWe study efficient preprocessing for the undirected Feedback Vertex Set problem, a fundamental problem in graph theory which asks for a minimum-sized vertex set whose removal yields an acyclic graph. More precisely, we aim to determine for which parameterizations this problem admits a polynomial kernel. While a characterization is known for the related Vertex Cover problem based on the recently introduced notion of bridge-depth, it remained an open problem whether this could be generalized to Feedback Vertex Set. The answer turns out to be negative; the existence of polynomial kernels for structural parameterizations for Feedback Vertex Set is governed by the elimination distance to a forest. Under the standard assumption $$\textrm{NP}\not \subseteq \textrm{coNP}/\textrm{poly}$$, we prove that for any minor-closed graph class $$\mathcal {G}$$, Feedback Vertex Set parameterized by the size of a modulator to $$\mathcal {G}$$ has a polynomial kernel if and only if $$\mathcal {G}$$ has bounded elimination distance to a forest. This captures and generalizes all existing kernels for structural parameterizations of the Feedback Vertex Set problem.
