2 Presentation Plan Introduction Problem Definition Solution Method Numerical Results Conclusions and Perspectives 2

3 Partitioning Problems - Disjoint Paths Covering all the nodes Each node appears on just one path Polynomially solvable - Flow 3

4 Problem Context Telecommunication networks Noninterfering messages Transportation Aircraft Rotation Problems 4

5 Problem Definition A directed acyclic graph G (V, A), Find K disjoint and weight balanced paths p 1, p 2,..., p K such that Each node V is covered by exactly one path. 5

6 Difficulty Objective : min K k=1 c pk Where cpk = g( w v )= 1 M (M w v ) 2 v p k v p k And M is the ideal path weight M = 1 K v V w v 6

7 Similar Problems Finding 2 node disjoint paths with bounded weight on a DAG NP-complete Vertex covering by minimum weight paths, on trees NP-Hard (even in unweighted case) Partitioning problem NP-hard 7

12 Decomposition Dantzig-Wolfe Master Problem : Combining paths to partition the graph Slave Problem : Finding good paths 10

13 Master Problem min c p λ p p P subject to p P p P v p λ p = K λ p =1 v V λ p {0, 1} p P 11

14 Reduced Cost of a Path c p = g( v v p c p (u) = g( v v p w v ) w v ) v v p u v u 0 Where u v and u 0 are the dual variables associated to the node v and to the first constraint, respectively 12

15 Slave Problem Solution Methods Max Flow - Max Cost to cover all the nodes 2OPT on flow solution to minimize the minimum reduced cost : Finding a feasible solution with promissing paths. Optimal dynamic programming : A multi label setting dynamic model to find max u v for v s v each node v for each total weight v s v w v = W s v 13

16 Max Flow - Max Cost Flow 1 on graph G (V, A): cost(a) = p a p λ p a A Flow 2 on graph G (V, A ): With only a limited number of exiting arcs from all node v such that p a p λ p

17 2OPT For the paths p, p in the solution S, for every couple of nodes v p and v p compute c p new = g(w s v + W v t) (U s v + U v t) c p new = g(w s v + W v t) (U s v + U v t ) Where U s v is the sum of dual values of the nodes on the path between s and v If min{ c new p, c p new } < min{ c p, c p } then accept the swap 15

18 Dynamic programming f (v, W ) = u v + max, W w v ) v δ (v) And naturally f (s, 0) = 0 Where W is the total weight of the path between s and v 16

19 Dynamic programming f (v, W ) = u v + max, W w v ) v δ (v) And naturally f (s, 0) = 0 Where W is the total weight of the path between s and v min X p P(v) w v = W v p c p (u) = g(w ) f (v, W ) Where P(v) is the set of paths ending at the node v 16

20 Lagrangian Lower Bound c p (u) =g( w v ) v v p v v p u v 17

21 Lagrangian Lower Bound c p (u) =g( w v ) v v p v v p u v θ1(u) = K min c p(u)+ u v p P v V θ2 (u) = min c p(u)+ p P(v i ) i K v V u v Where P(v i ) is the set of paths ending with the node v i So each path ends at a different node Obviously θ 2 (u) θ 1 (u) 17
