Actually, MCCETLTPD is a balance transportation problem and a variant problem of minimum cost maximum flow problem. In this paper, by creating a mathematical model and constructing a network with lower and upper arc capacities, MCCETLTPD is transformed into searching feasible flow in the constructed network, and consequently, an algorithm MCCETLTPD-A is developed as MCCETLTPD’s solution method basing minimum cost maximum flow algorithm. Computational study validates that the MCCETLTPD-A algorithm is an efficient approach to solving the MCCETLTPD.展开更多

An edge-coloring of a graph ?is assigning a color in C to each edge ?so that any two edges having end-vertex in common have different colors. The cost ?of an edge-coloring f of G is the sum of costs ?of colors ?assigned to all edges e in G. An edge-coloring f of G is optimal if ?is minimum among all edge-colorings of G. A cactus is a connected graph in which every block is either an edge or a cycle. In this paper, we give an algorithm to find an optimal edge- ??coloring of a cactus in polynomial time. In our best knowledge, this is the first polynomial-time algorithm to find an optimal edge-coloring of a cactus.展开更多
