  • This paper deals with the optimization problem that decides the routing of connection between multi-source and multi-sink. For this problem, there is only in used the mathematical approach as linear programming (LP) software package and has been unknown the polynomial time algorithm. In this paper we suggest the heuristic algorithm with $O(mn)^2$ time complexity to solve the optimal solution for this problem. This paper suggests the simple method that assigns the possible call flow quantity to augmenting path of ($s_i,t_i$) city pair satisfied with demand of ($s_i,t_i$). The proposed algorithm can be get the same optimal solution as LP for experimental data.

  • In this paper, the assignment problem is considered. We propose an approach based on the solution of a sequence of shortest path sub-problem. We extend the cost reduction method, which is used for finding initial assignment, to solve these sub-problems. The use of the extended reduction method makes it possible to devise an efficient multi-augmenting algorithm.

  • This paper deals with the graph in which the weights of edges are given the distances between two end vertices on a metric space. In particular, we will study about a path P with n vertices for these graphs. We obtain a new graph $\bar{P}$ by augmenting an edge to P. Then the length of the shortest path between two vertices on $\bar{P}$ is considered and we focus on the maximum of these lengths. This maximum is called the diameter of the graph $\bar{P}$. We wish to find the augmented edge to minimize the diameter of $\bar{P}$. Especially, for an arbitrary real number λ > 0, we should determine whether the diameter of $\bar{P}$ is less than or equal to λ and we propose an O(n)-time algorithm for this problem, which improves on the time complexity O(nlogn) previously known. Using this decision algorithm, for the length D of P, we provide an O(nlogD)-time algorithm to find the minimum of the diameter of $\bar{P}$.

  • An efficient method is developed to obtain the maximum flow for a network when its simple paths are known. Most of the existing techniques need to convert simple paths into minimal cuts, or to determine the order of simple paths to be applied in the process to reach the correct result. In this paper, we propose a method based on the concepts of signed simple path and signed flow defined in the text. Our method involves a fewer number of arithmetic operations at each iteration, and requires fewer iterations in the whole process than the existing methods. Our method can be easily extended to a mixed network with a slight modification. Furthermore, the correctness of our method does not depend on the order of simple paths to be applied in the process.

  • This paper considers a reliability problem as a special type of flow problem and presents an algorithm to evaluate the exact 2-terminal reliability of networks by using a backtracking technique. It employs a polygon-to-chain reduction in addition to series and parallel reduction techniques to reduce execution time. In comparisons, it presents a much better performance than other algorithms known to us. We also propose a methodology to apply the algorithm for approximation of the system reliability.

  • This paper deals with the maximum cardinality matching(MCM) problem. The augmenting path technique is well known in MCM. MCM is obtained by $O({\sqrt{n}}m)$ time complexity augmenting path algorithm for the general graph, and O(m log n) algorithm for the bipartite graph. On the other hand, this paper suggests O(n) linear time algorithm. The proposed algorithm based on the basic principle of as possible as largest selected inter-vertex edges in order to obtain the MCM. This paper simply selects edge {u,𝜐} that the minimum degree vertex u and minimum degree vertex 𝜐 in NG(u) 𝜈(G)=k times iteration. For various general and bipartite graphs experimental data, this algorithm can be get the 𝜈(G) exactly.

  • We propose a new method to evaluate the network reliability which greatly reduces the intermediate steps toward calculations of maximum capacity flow by excluding unnecessary simple paths contained in the set of failure simple paths. By using signed simple paths and signed flow, we show that our method is more efficient than that of Lee and Park (2001a) in the number of generated composite paths and in the procedure for obtaining minimal success composite paths. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the use and the efficiency of the method.

  • In this paper, we propose a simple linear bottleneck assignment problems (LBAP) algorithm to find the optimal solution. Generally, the LBAP has been solved by threshold or augmenting path algorithm. The primary characteristic of proposed algorithm is derived the optimal solution of LBAP from linear sum assignment problem (LSAP). Firstly, we obtains the solution for LSAP from the selected minimum cost of rows and moves the duplicated costs in row to unselected row with minimum increasing cost in direct and indirect paths. Then, we obtain the optimal solution of LBAP according to the maximum cost of LSAP can be move to less cost. For the 29 balanced and 7 unbalanced problem, this algorithm finds optimal solution as simple.

  • Given weighted graph G=(V,E), n=|V|, m=|E|, the minimum cut problem is classified with source s and sink t or without s and t. Given undirected weighted graph without s and t, Stoer-Wagner algorithm is most popular. This algorithm fixes arbitrary vertex, and arranges maximum adjacency (MA)-ordering. In the last, the sum of weights of the incident edges for last ordered vertex is computed by cut value, and the last 2 vertices are merged. Therefore, this algorithm runs $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ times. Given graph with s and t, Ford-Fulkerson algorithm determines the bottleneck edges in the arbitrary augmenting path from s to t. If the augmenting path is no more exist, we determine the minimum cut value by combine the all of the bottleneck edges. This paper suggests minimum cut algorithm for undirected weighted graph with s and t. This algorithm suggests MA-merging and computes cut value simultaneously. This algorithm runs n-1 times and successfully divides V into disjoint S and V sets on the basis of minimum cut, but the Stoer-Wagner is fails sometimes. The proposed algorithm runs more than Ford-Fulkerson algorithm, but finds the minimum cut value within n-1 processing times.
