An efficient method of constructing $textsc{k}$-minimal path sets to evaluate the reliability of a flow network is presented. The network is considered to be in a functioning state if it can transmit a maximum flow which is greater than or equal to a specified amount of flow, $textsc{k}$say, and a $textsc{k}$-minimal path set is a minimal set of branches that satisfies the given flow constraint. In this paper, under the assumption that minimal path sets of the network are known, we generate composite paths by adding only a minimal set of branches at each iteration to get $textsc{k}$-minimal path sets after possibly the fewest composition, and compute maximum flow of composite paths using only minimal path sets. Thereby we greatly reduce the possible occurrence of redundant composite paths throughout the process and efficiently compute the maximum flow of composite paths generated. Numerical examples illustrate the method.

무선 PDA.휴대폰을 통해 웹을 탐색하려는 이용자들은 인터페이스 상의 문제 때문에 어려움을 겪는다. 단지 그래픽을 문자로 바꾸거나 기호체계를 재구성한다고 해서 해결될 문제가 아니다. 심층 연계 구조를 통과하는 데에는 많은 시간이 걸리기 때문이다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 실시간의 최단경로를 제공하기 위하여 무선 웹 탐색을 자동적으로 개선시키는 Minimal Path 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문의 결과 Minimal Path 알고리즘은 웹 이용자들에 대해 지름길을 제공해 주며, 링크의 숫자가 가장 짧았음을 알 수 있었다.

Emergency operation plans are indispensable elements for effective process safety management especially when unanticipated events occur under extreme situations. In the paper, a synthesis framework is proposed for the integration success path planning and performance analysis. Within the synthesis framework, success path planning is implemented through flow-directed signal tracing, renaming and reconstruction from a complete collection of Minimal Path Sets (MPSs) that are obtained using graph traversal search on GO-FLOW model diagram. The performance of success paths is then evaluated and prioritized according to the task complexity and probability calculation of MPSs for optimum action plans identification. Finally, an Auxiliary Feed Water System of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR-AFWS) is taken as an example system to demonstrate the flow-directed MPSs search method for success path planning and performance analysis. It is concluded that the synthesis framework is capable of providing procedural guidance for emergency response and safety management with optimal success path planning under extreme situations.

This paper describes an algorithm for minimal turning complete coverage Path planning for cleaning robots. This algorithm divides the whole cleaning area by cellular decomposition, and then provides the path planning among the cells employing a flow network. It also provides specific path planning inside each cell guaranteeing the minimal turning of the robots. The minimal turning of the robots is directly related to the faster motion and energy saving. The proposed algorithm is compared with previous approaches in simulation and the result shows the validity of the algorithm.

Many intelligent robots have to be given environmental information to perform tasks. In this paper an intelligent robot, that is, a cleaning robot used a sensor fusing method of two sensors: LRF and StarGazer, and then was able to obtain the information. Throughout wall following using laser displacement sensor, LRF, the working area is built during the robot turn one cycle around the area. After the process of wall following, a path planning which is able to execute the work effectively is established using flow network algorithm. This paper describes an algorithm for minimal turning complete coverage path planning for intelligent robots. This algorithm divides the whole working area by cellular decomposition, and then provides the path planning among the cells employing flow networks. It also provides specific path planning inside each cell guaranteeing the minimal turning of the robots. The proposed algorithm is applied to two different working areas, and verified that it is an optimal path planning method.

In this paper, we present an approach to transmit data from the source to the destination through a minimal path (least-cost path) in a computer network of n nodes. The motivation behind our approach is to address the problem of finding a minimal path between the source and destination. From the work we have studied, we found that a Steiner tree with bounded Steiner vertices offers a good solution. A novel algorithm to construct a Steiner tree with vertices and bounded Steiner vertices is proposed in this paper. The algorithm finds a path from each source to each destination at a minimum cost and minimum number of Steiner vertices. We propose both the sequential and parallel versions. We also conducted a comparative study of sequential and parallel versions based on time complexity, which proved that parallel implementation is more efficient than sequential.

A new graph problem is formulated to limit the maximum path length of a general directed graph when a minimal set of vertices together with their incident edges are removed from the graph. An optimal algorithm and a heuristic algorithm are proposed and the proposed heuristic algorithm is shown to be effective through experiments using a collection of graphs obtained from large sequential circuits. The heuristic algorithm is based on a feedback vertex set algorithm based on graph reduction.

In this paper, we consider an interconnection network, DRDT (Dual Receive Dual Transmit), that is a double-loop ring topology and adopts the concept of multiple packets transmission. For three types of DRDT configurations, we investigate some properties related to path sets and discuss the method for finding minimal path sets. Using the concept of the terminal reliability and the path sets approach, we evaluate the reliability of the DRDT networks and compare them with a single ring network and a unidirectional double-loop ring network.
