摘要:

一种动态网络${\cal N} = (G,c,τ,S)$,其中$G=(V,E)$是一个图,整数$τ(e)$和$c(e)$表示,对于每个边$e\in E$,遍历边$e$所需的时间及其非负容量,集合$S\subseteq V$是一个源集合。在$k$ -{ \sc宿位置}问题中,给定一个动态网络${\cal N}$作为输入,其中每个源$u\in S$被给定一个非负供给值$σ(u)$。然后,任务是在$G$中找到一组汇点$X = \{x_1,\ldots,x_k\}$,使所有供应到$X$的路由时间最小化。注意,在$G$是无向图的情况下,$X$中的汇的最佳位置不需要在顶点处,并且可以沿着边定位。Hoppe和Tardos证明了,给定$k$ -{ \sc Sink Location}的实例和一组$k$顶点$X\subseteq V$,在图$G$是有向的情况下,可以在多项式时间内找到$G$中所有供应到$X$的最优路由方案。注意,当$G$是定向的时,这足以获得$k$ -{ \sc宿位置}问题的多项式时间可解性,因为任何最佳位置将位于$G$的顶点处。然而,一般无向图上的$k$ -{ \sc Sink Location}问题的计算复杂性仍然是开放的。在本文中,我们证明了$k$ -{ \sc Sink Location}问题承认一个完全多项式时间近似方案(FPTAS)的每一个固定的$k$,和问题是$W[1]$ -困难的参数时,$k$。

英文摘要:

A dynamic network ${\cal N} = (G,c,τ,S)$ where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph, integers $τ(e)$ and $c(e)$ represent, for each edge $e\in E$, the time required to traverse edge $e$ and its nonnegative capacity, and the set $S\subseteq V$ is a set of sources. In the $k$-{\sc Sink Location} problem, one is given as input a dynamic network ${\cal N}$ where every source $u\in S$ is given a nonnegative supply value $σ(u)$. The task is then to find a set of sinks $X = \{x_1,\ldots,x_k\}$ in $G$ that minimizes the routing time of all supply to $X$. Note that, in the case where $G$ is an undirected graph, the optimal position of the sinks in $X$ needs not be at vertices, and can be located along edges. Hoppe and Tardos showed that, given an instance of $k$-{\sc Sink Location} and a set of $k$ vertices $X\subseteq V$, one can find an optimal routing scheme of all the supply in $G$ to $X$ in polynomial time, in the case where graph $G$ is directed. Note that when $G$ is directed, this suffices to obtain polynomial-time solvability of the $k$-{\sc Sink Location} problem, since any optimal position will be located at vertices of $G$. However, the computational complexity of the $k$-{\sc Sink Location} problem on general undirected graphs is still open. In this paper, we show that the $k$-{\sc Sink Location} problem admits a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for every fixed $k$, and that the problem is $W[1]$-hard when parameterized by $k$.
