Annotation: The 1970s ushered in an exciting era of research and applications of

networks and graphs in operations research, industrial engineering, and related disciplines. Graphs are met with everywhere under different names: "structures", "road maps" in civil engineering; "networks" in

electrical engineering; "sociograms", "communication structures" and "organizational structures" in sociology and economics; "molecular structure"

in chemistry; gas or electricity "distribution networks" and so on. Because of its wide applicability, the study of graph theory has been

expanding at a very rapid rate during recent years; a major factor in this

growth being the development of large and fast computing machines. The direct and detailed representation of practical systems, such as distribution or telecommunication networks, leads to graphs of large size whose successful

analysis depends as much on the existence of "good" algorithms as on the availability of fast computers. In view of this, the present course concentrates

on the development and exposition of algorithms for the analysis of graphs, although frequent mention of application areas is made in order to keep the text as closely related to practical problem-solving as possible.

Although, in general, algorithmic efficiency is considered of prime im-portance, the present course is not meant to be a course of efficient algorithms. Often a method is discussed because of its close relation to (or derivation

from) previously introduced concepts. The overriding consideration is to leave the student with as coherent a body of knowledge with regard to

graph analysis algorithms, as possible. In this course are considered some elements of the following main

topics:

Introduction in graph theory (essential concepts and definitions, modeling with graphs and networks, data structures for networks and

graphs, computational complexity, heuristics). Tree algorithms (spanning tree algorithms, variations of the minimum

spanning tree problem, branchings and arborescences).

Shortest-path algorithms (types of shortest-path problems and







algorithms, shortest-paths from a single source, all shortest-path

algorithms, the k- shortest-path algorithm, other shortest-paths). Maximum- flow algorithms (flow-augmenting paths, maximum-flow

algorithm, extensions and modifications, minimum-cost flow algorithms, dynamic flow algorithms).

Matching and assignment algorithms (introduction and examples,

maximum-cardinality matching in a bipartite graph, maximum-cardinality matching in a general graph, maximum-weight matching in a bipartite graph, the assignment problem).

The chinest postman and related arc routing problems ( Euler tours and Hamiltonian tours, the postman problem for undirected graphs, the

postman problem for directed graphs). The traveling salesman and related vertex routing problems (

Hamiltonian tours, basic properties of the traveling salesman problem, lower

bounds, optimal solution techniques, heuristic algorithms for the TSP). Location problems (classifying location problems, center problems,

median problems). Project networks (constructing project networks, critical path method,

generalized project networks).


Students should obtain basic knowledge and skills for solving

optimization problems for graphs and networks.

Educational Methods: Lectures, tutorials, individual student’s work.
