Based on the （α, β）-tree concept, a new connected dominating tree with bounded transmission delay problem（CDTT） is defined and a corresponding algorithm is designed to construct a CDT-tree which can trade off limited total power and bounded transmission delay from source to destination nodes. The CDT algorithm consists of two phases： The first phase constructs a maximum independent set（MIS）in a unit disk graph model. The second phase estimates the distance and calculates the transmission power to construct a spanning tree in an undirected graph with different weights for MST and SPF, respectively. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the CDT algorithm gives a correct solution to the CDTF problem and forms a virtual backbone with（ α,β）-constraints balancing the requirements of power consumption and transmission delay.展开更多

This method can avoid maintaining the connectivities between backbone hosts. Considering that the hosts in mobile networks have different characteristics, this paper proposes a method of calculating minimal dominating set with weight. The nodes can be chosen to form a minimal dominating set when the network topology changes. For the host switch on/off operation, the updating algorithm was provided. The change in the status of a hostaffects only the status of hosts in the restricted vicinity. Simulation results show that the proposed method can ensure fewer dominators but with higher weight to form the minimal dominating set and the nodes can be adaptive to the changes of network topology.展开更多

A connected dominating set (CDS) was proposed as a virtual backbone to improve the performance of wireless networks. The quality of a virtual backbone is measured not only by approximation factor, which is the ratio of its size to that of minimum CDS, but also time complexity and message complexity. In this paper, a distributed algorithm is presented to construct a minimum CDS for ad hoc and sensor networks. By destroying triangular loops in the virtual backbone, the proposed algorithm can effectively construct a CDS with smaller size. Moreover, our algorithm, which is fully localized, has a constant approximation ratio, linear message and time complexity, and low implementation complexity. The simulation results and theoretical analysis show that our algorithm has better efficiency and performance than conventional approaches.展开更多

Because of the inherent lack of infrastructure and the nature of wireless channels, people select the k-Connected m-Dominating Set （（k,m）-CDS） in a network as a fault-tolerant virtual backbone to help the routing process, which will save the energy of non-dominators and improve the network performance significantly. Considering the economic cost and efficiency, we choose （2,m）-CDS as the object of this paper, which is helpful enough in practical applications and has a smaller size. We firstly study the existing algorithms for （k,m）- CDS and figure out the problems of these designs. Then we propose a new distributed algorithm named Dominating Set Based AIgorithm （DSBA） with three sub-routines： Dominating Set AIgorithm （DSA）, Connection Algorithm （CA）, and Connectivity Expansion Algorithm （CEA）. Instead of commonly used Maximal Independent Set （MIS）, we pick dominating set directly from the given graph, and then connect them by a two-step ring based connecting strategy to satisfy the 2-connectivity. We also provide the correctness and complexity analysis of DSBA. At last, we compare DSBA with the last construction Distributed Deterministic Algorithm （DDA） by several numerical experiments. The simulation results show that DSBA improves over 30 percent of the performance of DDA, proving that DSBA is more practical for real-world applications.展开更多

In a previous paper, we studied this problem using the cavity method. Although we found a solution for a given graph that gives very good estimate of the minimal dominating size, we further developed the one step replica symmetry breaking theory to determine the ground state energy of the undirected minimal dominating set problem. The solution space for the undirected minimal dominating set problem exhibits both condensation transition and cluster transition on regular random graphs. We also developed the zero temperature survey propagation algorithm on undirected Erds-Rnyi graphs to find the ground state energy. In this paper we continue to develope the one step replica symmetry breaking theory to find the ground state energy for the directed minimal dominating set problem. We find the following.(i) The warning propagation equation can not converge when the connectivity is greater than the core percolation threshold value of 3.704. Positive edges have two types warning, but the negative edges have one.(ii) We determine the ground state energy and the transition point of the Erd?os-R′enyi random graph.(iii) The survey propagation decimation algorithm has good results comparable with the belief propagation decimation algorithm.展开更多

However, the solutio...The minimum weight dominating set problem （MWDSP） is an NP-hard problem with a lot of real-world applications. Several heuristic algorithms have been presented to produce good quality solutions. However, the solution time of them grows very quickly as the size of the instance increases. In this paper, we propose a binary particle swarm optimization （FBPSO） for solving the MWDSP approximately. Based on the characteristic of MWDSP, this approach designs a new position updating rule to guide the search to a promising area. An iterated greedy tabu search is used to enhance the solution quality quickly. In addition, several stochastic strategies are employed to diversify the search and prevent premature convergence. These methods maintain a good balance between the exploration and the exploitation. Experimental studies on 106 groups of 1 060 instances show that FBPSO is able to identify near optimal solutions in a short running time. The average deviation between the solutions obtained by FBPSO and the best known solutions is 0.441%. Moreover, the average solution time of FBPSO is much less than that of other existing algorithms. In particular, with the increasing of instance size, the solution time of FBPSO grows much more slowly than that of other existing algorithms.展开更多

The simulation results show that DSBA improves over 30 percent of the performance of DDA, proving that DSBA is more practical for real-world applications.

文摘The minimal dominating set for a digraph(directed graph) is a prototypical hard combinatorial optimization problem. In a previous paper, we studied this problem using the cavity method. Although we found a solution for a given graph that gives very good estimate of the minimal dominating size, we further developed the one step replica symmetry breaking theory to determine the ground state energy of the undirected minimal dominating set problem. The solution space for the undirected minimal dominating set problem exhibits both condensation transition and cluster transition on regular random graphs. We also developed the zero temperature survey propagation algorithm on undirected Erds-Rnyi graphs to find the ground state energy. In this paper we continue to develope the one step replica symmetry breaking theory to find the ground state energy for the directed minimal dominating set problem. We find the following.(i) The warning propagation equation can not converge when the connectivity is greater than the core percolation threshold value of 3.704. Positive edges have two types warning, but the negative edges have one.(ii) We determine the ground state energy and the transition point of the Erd?os-R′enyi random graph.(iii) The survey propagation decimation algorithm has good results comparable with the belief propagation decimation algorithm.

文摘The minimum weight dominating set problem （MWDSP） is an NP-hard problem with a lot of real-world applications. Several heuristic algorithms have been presented to produce good quality solutions. However, the solution time of them grows very quickly as the size of the instance increases. In this paper, we propose a binary particle swarm optimization （FBPSO） for solving the MWDSP approximately. Based on the characteristic of MWDSP, this approach designs a new position updating rule to guide the search to a promising area. An iterated greedy tabu search is used to enhance the solution quality quickly. In addition, several stochastic strategies are employed to diversify the search and prevent premature convergence. These methods maintain a good balance between the exploration and the exploitation. Experimental studies on 106 groups of 1 060 instances show that FBPSO is able to identify near optimal solutions in a short running time. The average deviation between the solutions obtained by FBPSO and the best known solutions is 0.441%. Moreover, the average solution time of FBPSO is much less than that of other existing algorithms. In particular, with the increasing of instance size, the solution time of FBPSO grows much more slowly than that of other existing algorithms.
