Abstract:The Weighted Safe Set Problem requires to partition an undirected graph into two families of connected components, respectively denoted as safe and unsafe, in such a way that each safe component dominates the unsafe adjacent components with respect to a weight function. We introduce a combinatorial branch and bound approach, whose main strength is a refined relaxation that combines graph manipulations and the solution of an auxiliary problem. We also propose fixing procedures to reduce the number of branching … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
