Abstract:Abstract. The bounded diameter minimum spanning tree problem is an N P-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising in particular in network design. There exist various exact and metaheuristic approaches addressing this problem, whereas fast construction heuristics are primarily based on Prim's minimum spanning tree algorithm and fail to produce reasonable solutions in particular on large Euclidean instances. In this work we present a method based on hierarchical clustering to guide the construction process… 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.
