Matkustava myyjäongelma käyttämällä sivukonttoria ja sidottuja

Kun otetaan huomioon joukko kaupunkeja ja etäisyys jokaisen kaupungin parin välillä, ongelmana on löytää lyhin mahdollinen kiertue, joka vierailee jokaisessa kaupungissa tarkalleen kerran ja palaa lähtöpisteeseen.

Harkitse esimerkiksi kuvaajaa, joka on esitetty oikealla puolella. TSP-kiertue kaaviossa on 0-1-3-2-0. Kiertueen kustannukset ovat 10+25+30+15, joka on 80.
Olemme keskustelleet ratkaisujen seuraamisesta 
1) Naiivi ja dynaaminen ohjelmointi  
2) Likimääräinen ratkaisu käyttämällä MST: tä
  
 
Haara- ja sidottu liuos  
Kuten aiemmissa oksa- ja sidottujen menetelmien artikkeleissa nykyisessä solmussa puussa, laskemme sidotun parhaan mahdollisen ratkaisun, jonka voimme saada, jos meillä on tämä solmu. Jos itse parhaan mahdollisen ratkaisun sidottu on huonompi kuin nykyinen paras (tähän mennessä parhaiten laskettu), sivuutetaan solmun kanssa juurtunut subtree. 
Huomaa, että solmun kautta aiheutuvat kustannukset sisältävät kaksi kustannusta. 
1) Solmun saavuttamisen kustannukset juuresta (kun saavutamme solmun, meillä on tämä kustannus laskettu) 
2) Vastauksen saavuttamisen kustannukset nykyisestä solmusta lehtille (laskemme sidoksen tähän kustannukseen päättääksemme, jätetäänkö alaryhmä huomiotta tällä solmulla vai ei).
 

  • A maksimointiongelma Yläraja kertoo meille mahdollisimman suurimman ratkaisun, jos seuraamme annettua solmua. Esimerkiksi 0/1 Knapsack Käytimme ahneutta lähestymistapaa ylärajan löytämiseen .
  • A minimointiongelma Alaraja kertoo meille mahdollisen vähimmäisratkaisun, jos seuraamme annettua solmua. Esimerkiksi Työtehtävä ongelma Saamme alarajan määrittämällä vähiten kustannustyön työntekijälle.


Haarassa ja sidoksissa haastava osa on selvittää tapa laskea sidottu parhaaseen mahdolliseen ratkaisuun. Alla on idea, jota käytetään rajojen laskemiseen myyjäongelmaan.
Minkä tahansa kiertueen kustannukset voidaan kirjoittaa alla.
 

Cost of a tour T = (1/2) * ? (Sum of cost of two edges adjacent to u and in the tour T) where u ? V For every vertex u if we consider two edges through it in T and sum their costs. The overall sum for all vertices would be twice of cost of tour T (We have considered every edge twice.) (Sum of two tour edges adjacent to u) >= (sum of minimum weight two edges adjacent to u) Cost of any tour >= 1/2) * ? (Sum of cost of two minimum weight edges adjacent to u) where u ? V


Harkitse esimerkiksi yllä esitettyä kuvaajaa. Alla on vähintään kaksi reunaa jokaisen solmun vieressä. 
 



Node Least cost edges Total cost 0 (0 1) (0 2) 25 1 (0 1) (1 3) 35 2 (0 2) (2 3) 45 3 (0 3) (1 3) 45 Thus a lower bound on the cost of any tour = 1/2(25 + 35 + 45 + 45) = 75 Refer   this   for one more example.


Nyt meillä on idea alarajan laskennasta. Katsotaanpa kuinka soveltaa sitä tilaa avaruushakupuu. Aloitamme kaikki mahdolliset solmut (mieluiten leksikografisessa järjestyksessä)
1. juurisolmu: Oletetaan, että aloitamme kärjestä '0', jolle alaraja on laskettu yllä.
Tason 2 käsitteleminen: Seuraava taso luettelee kaikki mahdolliset kärkipisteet, joihin voimme mennä (pitäen mielessä, että missä tahansa polulla kärkipisteen on tapahduttava vain kerran), jotka ovat 1 2 3 ... n (huomaa, että kaavio on valmis). Harkitse, että laskemme kärjen 1, koska muutimme 0: sta 1: een kiertueemme on nyt sisällyttänyt reunan 0-1. Tämän avulla voimme tehdä tarvittavat muutokset juuren alarajassa. 
 

Lower Bound for vertex 1 = Old lower bound - ((minimum edge cost of 0 + minimum edge cost of 1) / 2) + (edge cost 0-1)


Kuinka se toimii? Edon 0-1 sisällyttämiseksi lisäämme 0-1 reunakustannukset ja vähennä reunapaino siten, että alaraja pysyy mahdollisimman tiukasti kuin mahdollista, mikä olisi vähimmäisreunojen 0 ja 1 jaettuna 2: lla. Selvästi reunavähennetty ei voi olla tätä pienempi.
Muiden tasojen käsitteleminen: Kun siirrymme seuraavalle tasolle, luetteloimme kaikki mahdolliset kärkipisteet. Yllä olevalle tapaukselle, joka menee pidemmälle yhden jälkeen, tarkistamme 2 3 4 ... n. 
Harkitse alarajaa 2: lle, kun siirryt 1: stä 1: een, sisällytämme reuna 1-2 kiertueelle ja muutamme tämän solmun uutta alarajaa.
 

Lower bound(2) = Old lower bound - ((second minimum edge cost of 1 + minimum edge cost of 2)/2) + edge cost 1-2)


HUOMAUTUS: Ainoa muutos kaavassa on, että tällä kertaa olemme sisällyttäneet toiset vähimmäisreunakustannukset 1: lle, koska vähimmäisreunakustannukset on jo vähennetty edellisellä tasolla.

Pyöristäminen tehdään tässä koodirivissä:

if (level==1) curr_bound -= ((firstMin(adj curr_path[level-1]) + firstMin(adj i))/2); else curr_bound -= ((secondMin(adj curr_path[level-1]) + firstMin(adj i))/2); 

Haarassa ja sidotussa TSP -algoritmissa laskemme alarajan optimaalisen ratkaisun kokonaiskustannuksiin lisäämällä kunkin kärjen vähimmäiskustannukset ja jakamalla sitten kahdella. Tämä alaraja ei kuitenkaan välttämättä ole kokonaisluku. Saadaksesi kokonaisluvun alarajan voimme käyttää pyöristämistä.

Yllä olevassa koodissa Curr_bound -muuttuja pitää nykyisen alarajan optimaalisen ratkaisun kokonaiskustannuksissa. Kun vierailemme uudessa kärkipisteen tasolla tasolla, laskemme uuden alarajan new_bound ottamalla uuden kärkipisteen ja sen kahden lähimmän naapurin vähimmäisreunakustannusten summa. Päivitämme sitten Curr_bound -muuttujan pyöristämällä New_bound lähimpään kokonaislukuun.

Jos taso on 1, pyöristämme lähimpään kokonaislukuun. Tämä johtuu siitä, että olemme toistaiseksi käyneet vain yhdessä kärkipisteessä ja haluamme olla varovainen arvioidessamme optimaalisen ratkaisun kokonaiskustannuksia. Jos taso on suurempi kuin yksi, käytämme aggressiivisempaa pyöristämisstrategiaa, jossa otetaan huomioon se tosiasia, että olemme jo käyneet joissakin kärjissä ja voimme siksi tehdä tarkemman arvion optimaalisen ratkaisun kokonaiskustannuksista.


Ajan monimutkaisuus: Haaran pahimpi tapaus monimutkaisuus pysyy samana kuin raa'an voiman selvästi, koska pahimmassa tapauksessa emme ehkä koskaan saa mahdollisuutta karsia solmua. Kun taas käytännössä se toimii erittäin hyvin TSP: n eri esiintymästä riippuen. Monimutkaisuus riippuu myös rajoitusfunktion valinnasta, koska ne päättävät, kuinka monta solmua karsia.
