\section{Graph program object}
|
|
|
|
In GLPK the base program object used to represent graphs and networks
|
|
is a directed graph (digraph).
|
|
|
|
Formally, {\it digraph} (or simply, {\it graph}) is a pair $G=(V,A)$,
|
|
where $V$ is a set of {\it vertices}, and $A$ is a set
|
|
{\it arcs}.\footnote{$A$ may be a multiset.} Each arc $a\in A$ is an
|
|
ordered pair of vertices $a=(x,y)$, where $x\in V$ is called {\it tail
|
|
vertex} of arc $a$, and $y\in V$ is called its {\it head vertex}.
|
|
|
|
Representation of a graph in the program includes three structs defined
|
|
by typedef in the header \verb|glpk.h|:
|
|
|
|
%\vspace*{-8pt}
|
|
|
|
%\begin{itemize}
|
|
\Item{---}\verb|glp_graph|, which represents the graph in a whole,
|
|
|
|
\Item{---}\verb|glp_vertex|, which represents a vertex of the graph, and
|
|
|
|
\Item{---}\verb|glp_arc|, which represents an arc of the graph.
|
|
%\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
%\vspace*{-8pt}
|
|
|
|
All these three structs are ``semi-opaque'', i.e. the application
|
|
program can directly access their fields through pointers, however,
|
|
changing the fields directly is not allowed --- all changes should be
|
|
performed only with appropriate GLPK API routines.

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_create_graph| creates a new graph, which
|
|
initially is empty, i.e. has no vertices and arcs.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_size| specifies the size of vertex data blocks,
|
|
in bytes, $0\leq v\_size\leq 256$.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_size| specifies the size of arc data blocks, in
|
|
bytes, $0\leq a\_size\leq 256$.
|
|
|
|
\returns
|
|
|

void glp_set_graph_name(glp_graph *G, const char *name);
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_set_graph_name| assigns a symbolic name specified
|
|
by the character string \verb|name| (1 to 255 chars) to the graph.
|
|
|
|
If the parameter \verb|name| is \verb|NULL| or an empty string, the
|
|
routine erases the existing symbolic name of the graph.

int glp_add_vertices(glp_graph *G, int nadd);
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_add_vertices| adds \verb|nadd| vertices to the
|
|
specified graph. New vertices are always added to the end of the vertex
|
|
list, so ordinal numbers of existing vertices remain unchanged. Note
|
|
that this operation may change the field \verb|v| in the struct
|
|
\verb|glp_graph| (pointer to the vertex array) due to reallocation.
|
|
|
|
Being added each new vertex is isolated, i.e. has no incident arcs.
|
|
|
|
If the size of vertex data blocks specified on creating the graph is
|
|
non-zero, the routine also allocates a memory block of that size for
|
|
each new vertex added, fills it by binary zeros, and stores a pointer
|
|
to it in the field \verb|data| of the struct \verb|glp_vertex|.
|
|
Otherwise, if the block size is zero, the field \verb|data| is set to
|
|
\verb|NULL|.
|
|
|
|
\returns
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_add_vertices| returns the ordinal number of the
|
|
first new vertex added to the graph.

|
|
\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_add_arc| adds one new arc to the specified graph.
|
|
|
|
The parameters \verb|i| and \verb|j| specify the ordinal numbers of,
|
|
resp., tail and head endpoints (vertices) of the arc. Note that
|
|
self-loops and multiple arcs are allowed.
|
|
|
|
If the size of arc data blocks specified on creating the graph is
|
|
non-zero, the routine also allocates a memory block of that size, fills
|
|
it by binary zeros, and stores a pointer to it in the field \verb|data|

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_del_vertices| deletes vertices along with all

incident arcs from the specified graph. Ordinal numbers of vertices to
|
|
be deleted should be placed in locations \verb|num[1]|, \dots,
|
|
\verb|num[ndel]|, \verb|ndel| $>0$.
|
|
|
|
Note that deleting vertices involves changing ordinal numbers of other
|
|
vertices remaining in the graph. New ordinal numbers of the remaining
|
|
vertices are assigned under the assumption that the original order of
|
|
vertices is not changed.

The routine \verb|glp_create_v_index| creates the name index for the
|
|
specified graph. The name index is an auxiliary data structure, which
|
|
is intended to quickly (i.e. for logarithmic time) find vertices by
|
|
their names.
|
|
|
|
This routine can be called at any time. If the name index already
|
|
exists, the routine does nothing.

The routine {\tt glp\_read\_ccdata} reads a graph from a text file in
|
|
DIMACS clique/coloring format. (Though this format is originally
|
|
designed to represent data for the minimal vertex coloring and maximal
|
|
clique problems, it may be used to represent general undirected and
|
|
directed graphs, because the routine allows reading self-loops and
|

multiple edges/arcs keeping the order of vertices specified for each
|
|
edge/arc of the graph.)
|
|
|
|
\newpage
|
|
|
|
The parameter {\tt G} specifies the graph object to be read in. Note
|
|
that before reading data the current content of the graph object is
|
|
completely erased with the routine {\tt glp\_erase\_graph}.
|
|
|
|
The parameter {\tt v\_wgt} specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
{\tt double} in the vertex data block, to which the routine stores the
|
|
vertex weight. If {\tt v\_wgt} $<0$, the vertex weights are not stored.
|
|
|
|
The character string {\tt fname} specifies the name of a text file to
|
|
be read in. (If the file name ends with the suffix `\verb|.gz|', the
|
|
file is assumed to be compressed, in which case the routine
|
|
decompresses it ``on the fly''.)

|
|
|
|
The DIMACS input file is a plain ASCII text file. It contains
|
|
{\it lines} of several types described below. A line is terminated with
|
|
an end-of-line character. Fields in each line are separated by at least
|
|
one blank space. Each line begins with a one-character designator to
|
|
identify the line type.
|
|
|
|
Note that DIMACS requires all numerical quantities to be integers in
|
|
the range $[-2^{31},2^{31}-1]$ while GLPK allows the quantities to be
|
|
floating-point numbers.
|
|
|
|
\para{Comment lines.} Comment lines give human-readable information
|
|
about the file and are ignored by programs. Comment lines can appear
|
|
anywhere in the file. Each comment line begins with a lower-case
|
|
character \verb|c|.
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
c This is a comment line
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\para{Problem line.} There is one problem line per data file.
|
|
The problem line must appear before any node or edge descriptor lines.
|
|
It has the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
p edge NODES EDGES
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case letter \verb|p| signifies that this is a problem line.
|
|
The four-character problem designator \verb|edge| identifies the file
|
|
as containing data for the minimal vertex coloring or maximal clique
|
|
problem. The \verb|NODES| field contains an integer value specifying
|
|
the number of vertices in the graph. The \verb|EDGES| field contains an
|
|
integer value specifying the number of edges (arcs) in the graph.
|
|
|
|
\para{Vertex descriptors.} These lines give the weight assigned to
|
|
a vertex of the graph. There is one vertex descriptor line for each
|
|
vertex, with the following format. Vertices without a descriptor take
|
|
on a default value of 1.
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
n ID VALUE
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|n| signifies that this is a vertex
|
|
descriptor line. The \verb|ID| field gives a vertex identification
|
|
number, an integer between 1 and $n$, where $n$ is the number of
|
|
vertices in the graph. The \verb|VALUE| field gives a vertex weight,
|
|
which can either positive or negative (or zero).
|
|
|
|
\para{Edge descriptors.} There is one edge descriptor line for each
|
|
edge (arc) of the graph, each with the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
e I J
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|e| signifies that this is an edge
|
|
descriptor line. For an edge (arc) $(i,j)$ the fields \verb|I| and
|
|
\verb|J| specify its endpoints.

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_top_sort| performs topological sorting of
|
|
vertices of the specified acyclic digraph.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_num| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|int| in the vertex data block, to which the routine stores the
|
|
vertex number assigned. If \verb|v_num| $<0$, vertex numbers are not
|
|
stored.
|
|
|
|
The vertices are numbered from 1 to $n$, where $n$ is the total number
|
|
of vertices in the graph. The vertex numbering has the property that
|
|
for every arc $(i\rightarrow j)$ in the graph the condition
|
|
$num(i)<num(j)$ holds. Special case $num(i)=0$ means that vertex $i$ is
|
|
not assigned a number, because the graph is {\it not} acyclic.
|
|
|
|
\returns
|
|
|
|
If the graph is acyclic and therefore all the vertices have been
|
|
assigned numbers, the routine \verb|glp_top_sort| returns zero.
|
|
Otherwise, if the graph is not acyclic, the routine returns the number
|

of vertices which have not been numbered, i.e. for which $num(i)=0$.

\section{Minimum cost flow problem}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Background}
|
|
|
|
The {\it minimum cost flow problem} (MCFP) is stated as follows. Let
|
|
there be given a directed graph (flow network) $G=(V,A)$, where $V$ is
|
|
a set of vertices (nodes), and $A\subseteq V\times V$ is a set of arcs.
|
|
Let for each node $i\in V$ there be given a quantity $b_i$ having the
|
|
following meaning:
|
|
|
|
if $b_i>0$, then $|b_i|$ is a {\it supply} at node $i$, which shows
|
|
how many flow units are {\it generated} at node $i$ (or, equivalently,
|
|
entering the network through node $i$ from outside);
|
|
|
|
if $b_i<0$, then $|b_i|$ is a {\it demand} at node $i$, which shows how
|
|
many flow units are {\it lost} at node $i$ (or, equivalently, leaving
|
|
the network through node $i$ to outside);
|
|
|
|
if $b_i=0$, then $i$ is a {\it transshipment} node, at which the flow
|
|
is conserved, i.e. neither generated nor lost.
|
|
|
|
Let also for each arc $a=(i,j)\in A$ there be given the following three
|
|
quantities:
|
|
|
|
$l_{ij}$, a (non-negative) lower bound to the flow through arc $(i,j)$;
|
|
|
|
$u_{ij}$, an upper bound to the flow through arc $(i,j)$, which is the
|
|
{\it arc capacity};
|
|
|
|
$c_{ij}$, a per-unit cost of the flow through arc $(i,j)$.
|
|
|
|
The problem is to find flows $x_{ij}$ through every arc of the network,
|
|
which satisfy the specified bounds and the conservation constraints at
|
|
all nodes, and minimize the total flow cost. Here the conservation
|
|
constraint at a node means that the total flow entering this node
|
|
through its incoming arcs plus the supply at this node must be equal to
|
|
the total flow leaving this node through its outgoing arcs plus the
|
|
demand at this node.
|
|
|
|
An example of the minimum cost flow problem is shown on Fig.~1.

The minimum cost flow problem can be naturally formulated as the
|
|
following LP problem:
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
\hspace{1in}minimize
|
|
$$z=\sum_{(i,j)\in A}c_{ij}x_{ij}\eqno(1)$$
|
|
\hspace{1in}subject to
|
|
$$\sum_{(i,j)\in A}x_{ij}-\sum_{(j,i)\in A}x_{ji}=b_i\ \ \ \hbox
|
|
{for all}\ i\in V\eqno(2)$$
|
|
$$l_{ij}\leq x_{ij}\leq u_{ij}\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ (i,j)\in A
|
|
\eqno(3)$$

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_read_mincost| reads the minimum cost flow problem
|
|
data from a text file in DIMACS format.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|G| specifies the graph object, to which the problem
|
|
data have to be stored. Note that before reading data the current
|
|
content of the graph object is completely erased with the routine
|
|
\verb|glp_erase_graph|.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_rhs| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the vertex data block, to which the routine stores
|
|
$b_i$, the supply/demand value. If \verb|v_rhs| $<0$, the value is not
|
|
stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_low| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, to which the routine stores
|
|
$l_{ij}$, the lower bound to the arc flow. If \verb|a_low| $<0$, the
|
|
lower bound is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_cap| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, to which the routine stores
|
|
$u_{ij}$, the upper bound to the arc flow (the arc capacity). If
|
|
\verb|a_cap| $<0$, the upper bound is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_cost| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, to which the routine stores
|
|
$c_{ij}$, the per-unit cost of the arc flow. If \verb|a_cost| $<0$, the
|
|
cost is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The character string \verb|fname| specifies the name of a text file to
|
|
be read in. (If the file name name ends with the suffix `\verb|.gz|',
|
|
the file is assumed to be compressed, in which case the routine
|
|
decompresses it ``on the fly''.)
|
|
|
|
\returns
|
|
|
|
If the operation was successful, the routine returns zero. Otherwise,
|

The DIMACS input file is a plain ASCII text file. It contains
|
|
{\it lines} of several types described below. A line is terminated with
|
|
an end-of-line character. Fields in each line are separated by at least
|
|
one blank space. Each line begins with a one-character designator to
|
|
identify the line type.
|
|
|
|
Note that DIMACS requires all numerical quantities to be integers in
|
|
the range $[-2^{31},\ 2^{31}-1]$ while GLPK allows the quantities to be
|
|
floating-point numbers.
|
|
|
|
\para{Comment lines.} Comment lines give human-readable information
|
|
about the file and are ignored by programs. Comment lines can appear
|
|
anywhere in the file. Each comment line begins with a lower-case
|
|
character \verb|c|.
|

|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
c This is a comment line
|

\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
%\newpage
|
|
|
|
\para{Problem line.} There is one problem line per data file. The
|
|
problem line must appear before any node or arc descriptor lines. It
|
|
has the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
p min NODES ARCS
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\newpage
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|p| signifies that this is a problem line.
|
|
The three-character problem designator \verb|min| identifies the file as
|
|
containing specification information for the minimum cost flow problem.
|
|
The \verb|NODES| field contains an integer value specifying the number
|
|
of nodes in the network. The \verb|ARCS| field contains an integer value
|
|
specifying the number of arcs in the network.
|
|
|
|
\para{Node descriptors.} All node descriptor lines must appear before
|
|
all arc descriptor lines. The node descriptor lines describe supply and
|
|
demand nodes, but not transshipment nodes. That is, only nodes with
|
|
non-zero node supply/demand values appear. There is one node descriptor
|
|
line for each such node, with the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
n ID FLOW
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|n| signifies that this is a node
|
|
descriptor line. The \verb|ID| field gives a node identification
|
|
number, an integer between 1 and \verb|NODES|. The \verb|FLOW| field
|
|
gives the amount of supply (if positive) or demand (if negative) at
|
|
node \verb|ID|.
|
|
|
|
\para{Arc descriptors.} There is one arc descriptor line for each arc
|
|
in the network. Arc descriptor lines are of the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
a SRC DST LOW CAP COST
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|a| signifies that this is an arc
|
|
descriptor line. For a directed arc $(i,j)$ the \verb|SRC| field gives
|
|
the identification number $i$ for the tail endpoint, and the \verb|DST|
|
|
field gives the identification number $j$ for the head endpoint.
|
|
Identification numbers are integers between 1 and \verb|NODES|. The
|
|
\verb|LOW| field specifies the minimum amount of flow that can be sent
|
|
along arc $(i,j)$, and the \verb|CAP| field gives the maximum amount of
|
|
flow that can be sent along arc $(i,j)$ in a feasible flow. The
|
|
\verb|COST| field contains the per-unit cost of flow sent along arc
|
|
$(i,j)$.

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_mincost_okalg| finds optimal solution to the
|
|
minimum cost flow problem with the out-of-kilter
|
|
algorithm.\footnote{GLPK implementation of the out-of-kilter algorithm
|
|
is based on the following book: L.~R.~Ford,~Jr., and D.~R.~Fulkerson,
|
|
``Flows in Networks,'' The RAND Corp., Report R-375-PR (August 1962),
|
|
Chap. III ``Minimal Cost Flow Problems,'' pp.~113-26.} Note that this
|
|
routine requires all the problem data to be integer-valued.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|G| is a graph (network) program object which
|
|
specifies the minimum cost flow problem instance to be solved.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_rhs| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the vertex data block, which contains $b_i$, the
|
|
supply/demand value. This value must be integer in the range
|
|
[$-$\verb|INT_MAX|, $+$\verb|INT_MAX|]. If \verb|v_rhs| $<0$, it is
|
|
assumed that $b_i=0$ for all nodes.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_low| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, which contains $l_{ij}$, the lower
|
|
bound to the arc flow. This bound must be integer in the range
|
|
[$0$, \verb|INT_MAX|]. If \verb|a_low| $<0$, it is assumed that
|
|
$l_{ij}=0$ for all arcs.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_cap| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, which contains $u_{ij}$, the upper
|
|
bound to the arc flow (the arc capacity). This bound must be integer in
|
|
the range [$l_{ij}$, \verb|INT_MAX|]. If \verb|a_cap| $<0$, it is
|
|
assumed that $u_{ij}=1$ for all arcs.
|
|
|
|
\newpage
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_cost| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, which contains $c_{ij}$, the
|
|
per-unit cost of the arc flow. This value must be integer in the range
|
|
[$-$\verb|INT_MAX|, $+$\verb|INT_MAX|]. If \verb|a_cost| $<0$, it is
|
|
assumed that $c_{ij}=0$ for all arcs.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|sol| specifies a location, to which the routine
|
|
stores the objective value (that is, the total cost) found. If
|
|
\verb|sol| is NULL, the objective value is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_x| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, to which the routine stores
|
|
$x_{ij}$, the arc flow found. If \verb|a_x| $<0$, the arc flow value is
|
|
not stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_pi| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the vertex data block, to which the routine stores
|
|
$\pi_i$, the node potential, which is the Lagrange multiplier for the
|
|
corresponding flow conservation equality constraint (see (2) in
|
|
Subsection ``Background''). If necessary, the application program may
|
|
use the node potentials to compute $\lambda_{ij}$, reduced costs of the
|
|
arc flows $x_{ij}$, which are the Lagrange multipliers for the arc flow
|
|
bound constraints (see (3) ibid.), using the following formula:
|
|
$$\lambda_{ij}=c_{ij}-(\pi_i-\pi_j),$$
|
|
where $c_{ij}$ is the per-unit cost for arc $(i,j)$.
|
|
|
|
%\newpage
|
|
|
|
Note that all solution components (the objective value, arc flows, and
|
|
node potentials) computed by the routine are always integer-valued.

By design the out-of-kilter algorithm is applicable only to networks,
|
|
where $b_i=0$ for {\it all} nodes, i.e. actually this algorithm finds a
|
|
minimal cost {\it circulation}. Due to this requirement the routine
|
|
\verb|glp_mincost_okalg| converts the original network to a network
|
|
suitable for the out-of-kilter algorithm in the following
|
|
way:\footnote{The conversion is performed internally and does not change
|
|
the original network program object passed to the routine.}
|
|
|
|
1) it adds two auxiliary nodes $s$ and $t$;
|
|
|
|
2) for each original node $i$ with $b_i>0$ the routine adds auxiliary
|
|
supply arc $(s\rightarrow i)$, flow $x_{si}$ through which is costless
|
|
($c_{si}=0$) and fixed to $+b_i$ ($l_{si}=u_{si}=+b_i$);
|
|
|
|
3) for each original node $i$ with $b_i<0$ the routine adds auxiliary
|
|
demand arc $(i\rightarrow t)$, flow $x_{it}$ through which is costless
|
|
($c_{it}=0$) and fixed to $-b_i$ ($l_{it}=u_{it}=-b_i$);
|
|
|
|
4) finally, the routine adds auxiliary feedback arc $(t\rightarrow s)$,
|
|
flow $x_{ts}$ through which is also costless ($c_{ts}=0$) and fixed to
|
|
$F$ ($l_{ts}=u_{ts}=F$), where $\displaystyle F=\sum_{b_i>0}b_i$ is the
|
|
total supply.

|
|
The routine \verb|glp_mincost_relax4| finds optimal solution to the

minimum cost flow problem with the relaxation method RELAX-IV developed

|
by Bertsekas and Tseng.\footnote{GLPK implementation of this method is

based on a C translation of the original Fortran code {\tt RELAX4}
|

written by Dimitri P. Bertsekas and Paul Tseng, with a contribution by

1. The routine generates a transportation problem if:

|
$${\tt nsorc}+{\tt nsink}={\tt nodes},
|
|
\ {\tt ntsorc}=0,\ \mbox{and}\ {\tt ntsink}=0.$$
|
|
|
|
2. The routine generates an assignment problem if the requirements for
|
|
a transportation problem are met and:
|
|
$${\tt nsorc}={\tt nsink}\ \mbox{and}\ {\tt itsup}={\tt nsorc}.$$
|
|
|
|
3. The routine always generates connected graphs. So, if the number of
|
|
requested arcs has been reached and the generated instance is not fully
|
|
connected, the routine generates a few remaining arcs to ensure
|
|
connectedness. Thus, the actual number of arcs generated by the routine
|
|
may be greater than the requested number of arcs.

\para{Comments\footnote{This material is based on comments

|

|
|
|
|
This network generator generates a grid-like network plus a super node.
|
|
In additional to the arcs connecting the nodes in the grid, there is an
|
|
arc from each supply node to the super node and from the super node to
|
|
each demand node to guarantee feasiblity. These arcs have very high
|
|
costs and very big capacities.
|
|
|
|
The idea of this network generator is as follows: First, a grid of
|
|
$n_1\times n_2$ is generated. For example, $5\times 3$. The nodes are
|
|
numbered as 1 to 15, and the supernode is numbered as
|
|
$n_1\times n_2+1$. Then arcs between adjacent nodes are generated.
|
|
For these arcs, the user is allowed to specify either to generate
|
|
two-way arcs or one-way arcs. If two-way arcs are to be generated, two
|
|
arcs, one in each direction, will be generated between each adjacent
|
|
node pairs. Otherwise, only one arc will be generated. If this is the
|
|
case, the arcs will be generated in alterntive directions as shown
|
|
below.

|

}
|
|
|
|
\medskip
|
|
|
|
Then the arcs between the super node and the source/sink nodes are
|
|
added as mentioned before. If the number of arcs still doesn't reach
|
|
the requirement, additional arcs will be added by uniformly picking
|
|
random node pairs. There is no checking to prevent multiple arcs
|
|
between any pair of nodes. However, there will be no self-arcs (arcs
|
|
that poins back to its tail node) in the network.
|
|
|
|
The source and sink nodes are selected uniformly in the network, and
|
|
the imbalances of each source/sink node are also assigned by uniform
|
|
distribution.

\section{Maximum flow problem}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Background}
|
|
|
|
The {\it maximum flow problem} (MAXFLOW) is stated as follows. Let
|
|
there be given a directed graph (flow network) $G=(V,A)$, where $V$ is
|
|
a set of vertices (nodes), and $A\subseteq V\times V$ is a set of arcs.
|
|
Let also for each arc $a=(i,j)\in A$ there be given its capacity
|
|
$u_{ij}$. The problem is, for given {\it source} node $s\in V$ and
|
|
{\it sink} node $t\in V$, to find flows $x_{ij}$ through every arc of
|
|
the network, which satisfy the specified arc capacities and the
|
|
conservation constraints at all nodes, and maximize the total flow $F$
|
|
through the network from $s$ to $t$. Here the conservation constraint
|
|
at a node means that the total flow entering this node through its
|
|
incoming arcs (plus $F$, if it is the source node) must be equal to the
|
|
total flow leaving this node through its outgoing arcs (plus $F$, if it
|
|
is the sink node). An example of the maximum flow problem,
|
|
where $s=v_1$ and $t=v_9$, is shown on Fig.~2.

|
|
|
|
\medskip
|
|
|
|
The maximum flow problem can be naturally formulated as the following
|
|
LP problem:
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
\hspace{1in}maximize
|
|
$$F\eqno(4)$$
|
|
\hspace{1in}subject to
|
|
$$\sum_{(i,j)\in A}x_{ij}-\sum_{(j,i)\in A}x_{ji}=\left\{
|
|
\begin{array}{@{\ }rl}
|
|
+F,&\hbox{for}\ i=s\\
|
|
0,&\hbox{for all}\ i\in V\backslash\{s,t\}\\
|
|
-F,&\hbox{for}\ i=t\\
|
|
\end{array}
|
|
\right.\eqno(5)
|
|
$$
|
|
$$0\leq x_{ij}\leq u_{ij}\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ (i,j)\in A
|
|
\eqno(6)$$
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
where $F\geq 0$ is an additional variable playing the role of the
|
|
objective.
|
|
|
|
Another LP formulation of the maximum flow problem, which does not
|
|
include the variable $F$, is the following:
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
\hspace{1in}maximize
|
|
$$z=\sum_{(s,j)\in A}x_{sj}-\sum_{(j,s)\in A}x_{js}\ (=F)\eqno(7)$$
|
|
\hspace{1in}subject to
|
|
$$\sum_{(i,j)\in A}x_{ij}-\sum_{(j,i)\in A}x_{ji}\left\{
|
|
\begin{array}{@{\ }rl}

|
\geq 0,&\hbox{for}\ i=s\\
|
|
=0,&\hbox{for all}\ i\in V\backslash\{s,t\}\\

\leq 0,&\hbox{for}\ i=t\\
|

\end{array}
|

\right.\eqno(8)

|
|
The routine \verb|glp_read_maxflow| reads the maximum flow problem
|
|
data from a text file in DIMACS format.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|G| specifies the graph object, to which the problem
|
|
data have to be stored. Note that before reading data the current
|
|
content of the graph object is completely erased with the routine
|
|
\verb|glp_erase_graph|.
|
|
|
|
The pointer \verb|s| specifies a location, to which the routine stores
|
|
the ordinal number of the source node. If \verb|s| is \verb|NULL|, the
|
|
source node number is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The pointer \verb|t| specifies a location, to which the routine stores
|
|
the ordinal number of the sink node. If \verb|t| is \verb|NULL|, the
|
|
sink node number is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_cap| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, to which the routine stores
|
|
$u_{ij}$, the arc capacity. If \verb|a_cap| $<0$, the arc capacity is
|
|
not stored.
|
|
|
|
The character string \verb|fname| specifies the name of a text file to
|

|
|
The DIMACS input file is a plain ASCII text file. It contains
|
|
{\it lines} of several types described below. A line is terminated with
|
|
an end-of-line character. Fields in each line are separated by at least
|
|
one blank space. Each line begins with a one-character designator to
|
|
identify the line type.
|
|
|
|
Note that DIMACS requires all numerical quantities to be integers in
|
|
the range $[-2^{31},\ 2^{31}-1]$ while GLPK allows the quantities to be
|
|
floating-point numbers.
|
|
|
|
\para{Comment lines.} Comment lines give human-readable information
|
|
about the file and are ignored by programs. Comment lines can appear
|
|
anywhere in the file. Each comment line begins with a lower-case
|
|
character \verb|c|.
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
c This is a comment line
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\para{Problem line.} There is one problem line per data file. The
|
|
problem line must appear before any node or arc descriptor lines.
|
|
It has the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
p max NODES ARCS
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|p| signifies that this is a problem line.
|
|
The three-character problem designator \verb|max| identifies the file as
|
|
containing specification information for the maximum flow problem. The
|
|
\verb|NODES| field contains an integer value specifying the number of
|
|
nodes in the network. The \verb|ARCS| field contains an integer value
|
|
specifying the number of arcs in the network.
|
|
|
|
\para{Node descriptors.} Two node descriptor lines for the source and
|
|
sink nodes must appear before all arc descriptor lines. They may appear
|
|
in either order, each with the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
n ID WHICH
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|n| signifies that this a node descriptor
|
|
line. The \verb|ID| field gives a node identification number,
|
|
an integer between 1 and \verb|NODES|. The \verb|WHICH| field gives
|
|
either a lower-case \verb|s| or \verb|t|, designating the source and
|
|
sink, respectively.
|
|
|
|
\para{Arc descriptors.} There is one arc descriptor line for each arc
|
|
in the network. Arc descriptor lines are of the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
a SRC DST CAP
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|a| signifies that this is an arc
|
|
descriptor line. For a directed arc $(i,j)$ the \verb|SRC| field gives
|
|
the identification number $i$ for the tail endpoint, and the \verb|DST|
|
|
field gives the identification number $j$ for the head endpoint.
|
|
Identification numbers are integers between 1 and \verb|NODES|. The
|
|
\verb|CAP| field gives the arc capacity, i.e. maximum amount of flow
|
|
that can be sent along arc $(i,j)$ in a feasible flow.
|
|
|
|
\para{Example.} Below here is an example of the data file in DIMACS
|
|
format corresponding to the maximum flow problem shown on Fig~2.

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_write_maxflow| writes the maximum flow problem
|
|
data to a text file in DIMACS format.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|G| is the graph (network) program object, which
|
|
specifies the maximum flow problem instance.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|s| specifies the ordinal number of the source node.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|t| specifies the ordinal number of the sink node.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_cap| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, which contains $u_{ij}$, the upper
|
|
bound to the arc flow (the arc capacity). If the upper bound is
|
|
specified as \verb|DBL_MAX|, it is assumed that $u_{ij}=\infty$, i.e.
|
|
the arc is uncapacitated. If \verb|a_cap| $<0$, it is assumed that
|
|
$u_{ij}=1$ for all arcs.
|
|
|
|
The character string \verb|fname| specifies a name of the text file to
|
|
be written out. (If the file name ends with suffix `\verb|.gz|', the
|
|
file is assumed to be compressed, in which case the routine performs
|
|
automatic compression on writing it.)
|
|
|
|
\returns
|
|
|
|
If the operation was successful, the routine returns zero. Otherwise,

The parameter \verb|G| is the graph (network) program object, which
|
|
specifies the maximum flow problem instance.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|names| is a flag. If it is \verb|GLP_ON|, the
|
|
routine uses symbolic names of the graph object components to assign
|
|
symbolic names to the LP problem object components. If the flag is
|
|
\verb|GLP_OFF|, no symbolic names are assigned.
|

The routine \verb|glp_mincost_ffalg| finds optimal solution to the

maximum flow problem with the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm.\footnote{GLPK

implementation of the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm is based on the

Networks,'' The RAND Corp., Report R-375-PR (August 1962), Chap. I
|
|
``Static Maximal Flow,'' pp.~30-33.} Note that this routine requires
|
|
all the problem data to be integer-valued.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|G| is a graph (network) program object which
|
|
specifies the maximum flow problem instance to be solved.
|
|
|
|
The parameter $s$ specifies the ordinal number of the source node.
|
|
|
|
The parameter $t$ specifies the ordinal number of the sink node.
|
|
|
|
\newpage
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_cap| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, which contains $u_{ij}$, the upper
|
|
bound to the arc flow (the arc capacity). This bound must be integer in
|
|
the range [0, \verb|INT_MAX|]. If \verb|a_cap| $<0$, it is assumed that

$u_{ij}=1$ for all arcs.
|

The parameter \verb|a_x| specifies an offset of the field of type

$x_{ij}$, the arc flow found. If \verb|a_x| $<0$, the arc flow values

|
|
The parameter \verb|v_cut| specifies an offset of the field of type

flags corresponding to the optimal solution found: if the node flag is

1, the node is labelled, and if the node flag is 0, the node is

unlabelled. The calling program may use these node flags to determine

the {\it minimal cut}, which is a subset of arcs whose one endpoint is

The generated network is as follows. It has $b$ pieces of frames of

size $a\times a$. (So alltogether the number of vertices is
|
|
$a\times a\times b$.)
|
|
|
|
In each frame all the vertices are connected with their neighbours
|
|
(forth and back). In addition the vertices of a frame are connected
|
|
one to one with the vertices of next frame using a random permutation
|
|
of those vertices.
|
|
|
|
The source is the lower left vertex of the first frame, the sink is
|
|
the upper right vertex of the $b$-th frame.

$E\subseteq R\times S$ is a set of edges. Let also for each edge
|
|
$e=(i,j)\in E$ there be given its cost $c_{ij}$. A {\it matching}
|
|
(which in case of bipartite graph is also called {\it assignment})
|
|
$M\subseteq E$ in $G$ is a set of pairwise non-adjacent edges, that is,
|
|
no two edges in $M$ share a common vertex. A matching, which matches
|
|
all vertices of the graph, is called a {\it perfect matching}.
|
|
Obviously, a perfect matching in bipartite graph $G=(R\cup S,E)$
|
|
defines some bijection $R\leftrightarrow S$.
|
|
|
|
The {\it assignment problem} has two different variants. In the first
|
|
variant the problem is to find matching (assignment) $M$, which
|
|
maximizes the sum:
|
|
$$\sum_{(i,j)\in M}c_{ij}\eqno(10)$$
|
|
(so this variant is also called the {\it maximum weighted bipartite
|
|
matching problem} or, if all $c_{ij}=1$, the {\it maximum cardinality
|
|
bipartite matching problem}). In the second, classic variant the
|
|
problem is to find {\it perfect} matching (assignment) $M$, which
|
|
minimizes or maximizes the sum (10).
|
|
|
|
An example of the assignment problem, which is the maximum weighted
|
|
bipartite matching problem, is shown on Fig. 3.
|
|
|
|
The maximum weighted bipartite matching problem can be naturally
|
|
formulated as the following LP problem:
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
\hspace{1in}maximize
|
|
$$z=\sum_{(i,j)\in E}c_{ij}x_{ij}\eqno(11)$$
|
|
\hspace{1in}subject to
|
|
$$\sum_{(i,j)\in E}x_{ij}\leq 1\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ i\in R\eqno(12)$$
|
|
$$\sum_{(i,j)\in E}x_{ij}\leq 1\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ j\in S\eqno(13)$$
|
|
$$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0\leq x_{ij}\leq 1\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ (i,j)\in E
|
|
\eqno(14)$$
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
where $x_{ij}=1$ means that $(i,j)\in M$, and $x_{ij}=0$ means that
|
|
$(i,j)\notin M$.\footnote{The constraint matrix of LP formulation
|
|
(11)---(14) is totally unimodular, due to which $x_{ij}\in\{0,1\}$ for
|
|
any basic solution.}

Similarly, the perfect assignment problem can be naturally formulated
|
|
as the following LP problem:
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
\hspace{1in}minimize (or maximize)
|
|
$$z=\sum_{(i,j)\in E}c_{ij}x_{ij}\eqno(15)$$
|
|
\hspace{1in}subject to
|
|
$$\sum_{(i,j)\in E}x_{ij}=1\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ i\in R\eqno(16)$$
|

$$\sum_{(i,j)\in E}x_{ij}=1\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ j\in S\eqno(17)$$
|
|
$$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0\leq x_{ij}\leq 1\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ (i,j)\in E
|
|
\eqno(18)$$
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
where variables $x_{ij}$ have the same meaning as for (11)---(14)
|
|
above.
|
|
|
|
In GLPK an undirected bipartite graph $G=(R\cup S,E)$ is represented as
|
|
directed graph $\overline{G}=(V,A)$, where $V=R\cup S$ and
|
|
$A=\{(i,j):(i,j)\in E\}$, i.e. every edge $(i,j)\in E$ in $G$
|
|
corresponds to arc $(i\rightarrow j)\in A$ in $\overline{G}$.

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_read_asnprob| reads the assignment problem data
|
|
from a text file in DIMACS format.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|G| specifies the graph object, to which the problem
|
|
data have to be stored. Note that before reading data the current
|
|
content of the graph object is completely erased with the routine
|
|
\verb|glp_erase_graph|.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_set| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|int| in the vertex data block, to which the routine stores the
|
|
node set indicator:
|
|
|
|
0 --- the node is in set $R$;
|
|
|
|
1 --- the node is in set $S$.
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
If \verb|v_set| $<0$, the node set indicator is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_cost| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, to which the routine stores the
|
|
edge cost $c_{ij}$. If \verb|a_cost| $<0$, the edge cost is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The character string \verb|fname| specifies the name of a text file to
|
|
be read in. (If the file name name ends with the suffix `\verb|.gz|',
|
|
the file is assumed to be compressed, in which case the routine
|
|
decompresses it ``on the fly''.)
|
|
|
|
\returns
|
|
|
|
If the operation was successful, the routine returns zero. Otherwise,
|
|
it prints an error message and returns non-zero.

|
The DIMACS input file is a plain ASCII text file. It contains
|
|
{\it lines} of several types described below. A line is terminated with
|
|
an end-of-line character. Fields in each line are separated by at least
|
|
one blank space. Each line begins with a one-character designator to
|
|
identify the line type.
|
|
|
|
Note that DIMACS requires all numerical quantities to be integers in
|
|
the range $[-2^{31},\ 2^{31}-1]$ while GLPK allows the quantities to be
|
|
floating-point numbers.
|
|
|
|
\para{Comment lines.} Comment lines give human-readable information
|
|
about the file and are ignored by programs. Comment lines can appear
|
|
anywhere in the file. Each comment line begins with a lower-case
|
|
character \verb|c|.
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
c This is a comment line
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\para{Problem line.} There is one problem line per data file. The
|
|
problem line must appear before any node or arc descriptor lines. It
|
|
has the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
p asn NODES EDGES
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|p| signifies that this is a problem line.
|
|
The three-character problem designator \verb|asn| identifies the file as
|
|
containing specification information for the assignment problem.
|
|
The \verb|NODES| field contains an integer value specifying the total
|
|
number of nodes in the graph (i.e. in both sets $R$ and $S$). The
|
|
\verb|EDGES| field contains an integer value specifying the number of
|
|
edges in the graph.
|
|
|
|
\para{Node descriptors.} All node descriptor lines must appear before
|
|
all edge descriptor lines. The node descriptor lines lists the nodes in
|
|
set $R$ only, and all other nodes are assumed to be in set $S$. There
|
|
is one node descriptor line for each such node, with the following
|
|
format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
n ID
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|n| signifies that this is a node
|
|
descriptor line. The \verb|ID| field gives a node identification number,
|
|
an integer between 1 and \verb|NODES|.
|
|
|
|
\para{Edge descriptors.} There is one edge descriptor line for each
|
|
edge in the graph. Edge descriptor lines are of the following format:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
a SRC DST COST
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
The lower-case character \verb|a| signifies that this is an edge
|
|
descriptor line. For each edge $(i,j)$, where $i\in R$ and $j\in S$,
|
|
the \verb|SRC| field gives the identification number of vertex $i$, and
|
|
the \verb|DST| field gives the identification number of vertex $j$.
|
|
Identification numbers are integers between 1 and \verb|NODES|. The
|
|
\verb|COST| field contains the cost of edge $(i,j)$.

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_mincost_okalg| finds optimal solution to the
|
|
assignment problem with the out-of-kilter
|
|
algorithm.\footnote{GLPK implementation of the out-of-kilter algorithm
|
|
is based on the following book: L.~R.~Ford,~Jr., and D.~R.~Fulkerson,
|
|
``Flows in Networks,'' The RAND Corp., Report R-375-PR (August 1962),
|
|
Chap. III ``Minimal Cost Flow Problems,'' pp.~113-26.} Note that this
|
|
routine requires all the problem data to be integer-valued.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|form| defines which LP formulation should be used:
|
|
|
|
\verb|GLP_ASN_MIN| --- perfect matching (15)---(18), minimization;
|
|
|
|
\verb|GLP_ASN_MAX| --- perfect matching (15)---(18), maximization;
|
|
|
|
\verb|GLP_ASN_MMP| --- maximum weighted matching (11)---(14).
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|G| is the graph program object, which specifies the
|
|
assignment problem instance.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_set| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|int| in the vertex data block, which contains the node set
|
|
indicator:
|
|
|
|
0 --- the node is in set $R$;
|
|
|
|
1 --- the node is in set $S$.
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
If \verb|v_set| $<0$, it is assumed that a node having no incoming arcs
|
|
is in set $R$, and a node having no outgoing arcs is in set $S$.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_cost| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the arc data block, which contains $c_{ij}$, the edge
|
|
cost. This value must be integer in the range [\verb|-INT_MAX|,
|
|
\verb|+INT_MAX|]. If \verb|a_cost| $<0$, it is assumed that $c_{ij}=1$
|
|
for all edges.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|sol| specifies a location, to which the routine
|
|
stores the objective value (that is, the total cost) found.
|
|
If \verb|sol| is \verb|NULL|, the objective value is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_x| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|int| in the arc data block, to which the routine stores $x_{ij}$.
|
|
If \verb|a_x| $<0$, this value is not stored.

\para{Comments}

|
|
|
Since the out-of-kilter algorithm is designed to find a minimal cost
|
|
circulation, the routine \verb|glp_asnprob_okalg| converts the original
|
|
graph to a network suitable for this algorithm in the following
|
|
way:\footnote{The conversion is performed internally and does not
|
|
change the original graph program object passed to the routine.}
|
|
|
|
1) it replaces each edge $(i,j)$ by arc $(i\rightarrow j)$,
|
|
flow $x_{ij}$ through which has zero lower bound ($l_{ij}=0$), unity
|
|
upper bound ($u_{ij}=1$), and per-unit cost $+c_{ij}$ (in case of
|
|
\verb|GLP_ASN_MIN|), or $-c_{ij}$ (in case of \verb|GLP_ASN_MAX| and
|
|
\verb|GLP_ASN_MMP|);
|
|
|
|
2) then it adds one auxiliary feedback node $k$;
|
|
|
|
3) for each original node $i\in R$ the routine adds auxiliary supply
|
|
arc $(k\rightarrow i)$, flow $x_{ki}$ through which is costless
|
|
($c_{ki}=0$) and either fixed at 1 ($l_{ki}=u_{ki}=1$, in case of
|
|
\verb|GLP_ASN_MIN| and \verb|GLP_ASN_MAX|) or has zero lower bound and
|
|
unity upper bound ($l_{ij}=0$, $u_{ij}=1$, in case of
|
|
\verb|GLP_ASN_MMP|);
|
|
|
|
4) similarly, for each original node $j\in S$ the routine adds
|
|
auxiliary demand arc $(j\rightarrow k)$, flow $x_{jk}$ through which is
|
|
costless ($c_{jk}=0$) and either fixed at 1 ($l_{jk}=u_{jk}=1$, in case
|
|
of \verb|GLP_ASN_MIN| and \verb|GLP_ASN_MAX|) or has zero lower bound
|
|
and unity upper bound ($l_{jk}=0$, $u_{jk}=1$, in case of
|
|
\verb|GLP_ASN_MMP|).

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_asnprob_hall| finds a matching of maximal
|
|
cardinality in the specified bipartite graph. It uses a version of the
|
|
Fortran routine \verb|MC21A| developed by
|
|
I.~S.~Duff\footnote{I.~S.~Duff, Algorithm 575: Permutations for
|
|
zero-free diagonal, ACM Trans. on Math. Softw. 7 (1981),\linebreak
|
|
pp.~387-390.}, which implements Hall's algorithm.\footnote{M.~Hall,
|
|
``An Algorithm for Distinct Representatives,'' Am. Math. Monthly 63
|
|
(1956), pp.~716-717.}
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|G| is a pointer to the graph program object.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_set| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|int| in the vertex data block, which contains the node set
|
|
indicator:
|
|
|
|
0 --- the node is in set $R$;
|
|
|
|
1 --- the node is in set $S$.
|
|
|
|
\newpage
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
If \verb|v_set| $<0$, it is assumed that a node having no incoming arcs
|
|
is in set $R$, and a node having no outgoing arcs is in set $S$.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|a_x| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|int| in the arc data block, to which the routine stores $x_{ij}$.
|
|
If \verb|a_x| $<0$, this value is not stored.
|
|
|
|
\returns
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_asnprob_hall| returns the cardinality of the
|
|
matching found. However, if the specified graph is incorrect (as
|
|
detected by the routine \verb|glp_check_asnprob|), this routine returns
|
|
a negative value.
|
|
|
|
\para{Comments}
|
|
|
|
The same solution may be obtained with the routine
|
|
\verb|glp_asnprob_okalg| (for LP formulation \verb|GLP_ASN_MMP| and
|
|
all edge costs equal to 1). However, the routine

\verb|glp_asnprob_hall| is much faster.

\section{Critical path problem}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Background}
|
|
|
|
The {\it critical path problem} (CPP) is stated as follows. Let there
|
|
be given a project $J$, which is a set of jobs (tasks, activities,
|
|
etc.). Performing each job $i\in J$ requires time $t_i\geq 0$. Besides,
|
|
over the set $J$ there is given a precedence relation
|
|
$R\subseteq J\times J$, where $(i,j)\in R$ means that job $i$
|
|
immediately precedes job $j$, i.e. performing job $j$ cannot start
|
|
until job $i$ has been completely performed. The problem is to find
|
|
starting times $x_i$ for each job $i\in J$, which satisfy to the
|
|
precedence relation and minimize the total duration (makespan) of the
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of the critical path problem:
|
|
|
|
\bigskip
|
|
|
|
\begin{center}
|
|
\begin{tabular}{|c|l|c|c|}
|
|
\hline
|
|

|
|

B&Lay foundation&4&A\\

M&Install flooring&4&K, L\\
|
|
\hline
|
|
\end{tabular}
|
|
\end{center}
|
|
|
|
\bigskip
|
|
|
|
Obviously, the project along with the precedence relation can be
|
|
represented as a directed graph $G=(J,R)$ called {\it project network},
|
|
where each node $i\in J$ corresponds to a job, and arc
|
|
$(i\rightarrow j)\in R$ means that job $i$ immediately precedes job
|
|
$j$.\footnote{There exists another network representation of the
|
|
critical path problem, where jobs correspond to arcs while nodes
|
|
correspond to events introduced to express the precedence relation.
|
|
That representation, however, is much less convenient than the one,
|
|
where jobs are represented as nodes of the network.} The project network
|
|
for the example above is shown on Fig.~4.

Fig.~4. An example of the project network.
|
|
|
|
\newpage
|
|
|
|
May note that the project network must be acyclic; otherwise, it would
|
|
be impossible to satisfy to the precedence relation for any job that
|
|
belongs to a cycle.
|
|
|
|
The critical path problem can be naturally formulated as the following
|
|
LP problem:
|
|
|
|
\medskip
|
|
|
|
\noindent
|
|
\hspace{.5in}minimize
|
|
$$z\eqno(19)$$
|
|
\hspace{.5in}subject to
|
|
$$x_i+t_i\leq z\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ i\in J\ \ \ \ \eqno(20)$$
|
|
$$x_i+t_i\leq x_j\ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ (i,j)\in R\eqno(21)$$
|
|
$$x_i\geq 0\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \hbox{for all}\ i\in J\ \ \eqno(22)$$
|
|
|
|
The inequality constraints (21), which are active in the optimal
|
|
solution, define so called {\it critical path} having the following
|
|
property: the minimal project duration $z$ can be decreased only by
|
|
decreasing the times $t_j$ for jobs on the critical path, and delaying
|
|
any critical job delays the entire project.

\description
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_cpp| solves the critical path problem represented
|
|
in the form of the project network.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|G| is a pointer to the graph object, which
|
|
specifies the project network. This graph must be acyclic. Multiple
|
|
arcs are allowed being considered as single arcs.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_t| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the vertex data block, which contains time $t_i\geq 0$
|
|
needed to perform corresponding job $j\in J$. If \verb|v_t| $<0$, it is
|
|
assumed that $t_i=1$ for all jobs.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_es| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the vertex data block, to which the routine stores
|
|
the {\it earliest start time} for corresponding job. If \verb|v_es|
|
|
$<0$, this time is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter \verb|v_ls| specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
\verb|double| in the vertex data block, to which the routine stores
|
|
the {\it latest start time} for corresponding job. If \verb|v_ls|
|
|
$<0$, this time is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The difference between the latest and earliest start times of some job
|
|
is called its {\it time reserve}. Delaying a job within its time
|
|
reserve does not affect the project duration, so if the time reserve is
|
|
zero, the corresponding job is critical.
|
|
|
|
\para{Returns}
|
|
|
|
The routine \verb|glp_cpp| returns the minimal project duration, i.e.
|
|
minimal time needed to perform all jobs in the project.

\section{Maximum clique problem}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Background}
|
|
|
|
The {\it maximum clique problem (MCP)} is a classic combinatorial
|
|
optimization problem. Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, where $V$ is
|
|
a set of vertices, and $E$ is a set of edges, this problem is to find
|
|
the largest {\it clique} $C\subseteq G$, i.e. the largest induced
|
|
complete subgraph. A generalization of this problem is the {\it maximum
|
|
weight clique problem (MWCP)}, which is to find a clique $C\subseteq G$
|
|
of the largest weight $\displaystyle\sum_{v\in C}w(v)\rightarrow\max$,
|
|
where $w(v)$ is a weight of vertex $v\in V$.
|
|
|
|
An example of the maximum weight clique problem is shown on Fig.~5.

\subsection{glp\_wclique\_exact --- find maximum weight clique with
|
|
exact algorithm}
|
|
|
|
\synopsis
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
int glp_wclique_exact(glp_graph *G, int v_wgt, double *sol, int v_set);
|
|
\end{verbatim}

|
|
\description
|
|
|
|
The routine {\tt glp\_wclique\_exact} finds a maximum weight clique in
|
|
the specified undirected graph with the exact algorithm developed by
|
|
Patric \"Osterg{\aa}rd.\footnote{P.~R.~J.~\"Osterg{\aa}rd, A new
|
|
algorithm for the maximum-weight clique problem, Nordic J. of
|
|
Computing, Vol.~8, No.~4, 2001, pp.~424--36.}
|
|
|
|
The parameter {\tt G} is the program object, which specifies
|
|
an undirected graph. Each arc $(x\rightarrow y)$ in {\tt G} is
|
|
considered as edge $(x,y)$, self-loops are ignored, and multiple edges,
|
|
if present, are replaced (internally) by simple edges.
|
|
|
|
The parameter {\tt v\_wgt} specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
{\tt double} in the vertex data block, which contains a weight of
|
|
corresponding vertex. Vertex weights must be integer-valued in the
|
|
range $[0,$ {\tt INT\_MAX}$]$. If {\tt v\_wgt} $<0$, it is assumed that
|
|
all vertices of the graph have the weight 1.
|
|
|
|
\newpage
|
|
|
|
The parameter {\tt sol} specifies a location, to which the routine
|
|
stores the weight of the clique found (the clique weight is the sum
|
|
of weights of all vertices included in the clique.) If {\tt sol} is
|
|
{\tt NULL}, the solution is not stored.
|
|
|
|
The parameter {\tt v\_set} specifies an offset of the field of type
|
|
{\tt int} in the vertex data block, to which the routines stores a
|
|
vertex flag: 1 means that the corresponding vertex is included in the
|
|
clique found, and 0 otherwise. If {\tt v\_set} $<0$, vertex flags are
|
|
not stored.
|
|
|
|
\returns
|
|
|
|
\begin{retlist}
|
|
0 & Optimal solution found.\\
|
|
|
|
\verb|GLP_EDATA| & Unable to start the search, because some vertex
|
|
weights are either not integer-valued or out of range. This code is
|
|
also returned if the sum of weights of all vertices exceeds
|
|
{\tt INT\_MAX}. \\
|
|
\end{retlist}
|
|
|
|
\para{Notes}
|
|
|
|
1. The routine {\it glp\_wclique\_exact} finds exact solution. Since
|
|
both MCP and MWCP problems are NP-complete, the algorithm may require
|
|
exponential time in worst cases.
|
|
|
|
2. Internally the specified graph is converted to an adjacency matrix
|
|
in {\it dense} format. This requires about $|V|^2/16$ bytes of memory,
|
|
where $|V|$ is the number of vertices in the graph.
|
|
|
|
\para{Example}
|
|
|
|
The example program shown below reads a MWCP instance in DIMACS
|
|
clique/coloring format from file `\verb|sample.clq|', finds the clique
|
|
of largest weight, and writes the solution found on the standard
|
|
output.
