We propose a novel linear time algorithm which, given any directed weighted graphs a and b with vertex degrees 1 or 2, constructs a sequence of operations transforming a into b. The total cost of operations in this sequence is minimal among all possible ones or differs from the minimum by an additive constant that depends only on operation costs but not on the graphs themselves; this difference is small as compared to the operation costs and is explicitly computed. We assume that the double cut and join operations have identical costs, and costs of the deletion and insertion operations are arbitrary strictly positive rational numbers.

Traveling salesman problem (TSP) is a typical combinatorial optimization problem. A heuristic model called frequency graph is introduced for TSP. It is computed with a set of optimal i-vertex paths (OP) in a weighted graph. The frequencies on the edges are enumerated from the set of OPs. The OPs have more intersections of edges with the optimal Hamiltonian cycle (OHC) than they do with the other Hamiltonian cycles. Thus, the frequencies of the OHC edges are generally bigger than those of most of the other edges. They are taken as the heuristic information instead of edges’ weights for TSP. The ant colony optimization is used to find an approximation or OHC based on the frequency graph. The solutions are compared with those using weighted graphs for certain TSP instances. The experimental results show that the frequency graph is better than weighted graph (WG) for most TSPs under the same preconditions.

Abstract Many graph mining tasks can be viewed as classification problems on high dimensional data. Within this class we consider the issue of discovering core-periphery structure, which has wide applications in the economic and social sciences. In contrast to many current approaches, we allow for weighted and directed edges and we do not assume that the overall network is connected. Our approach extends recent work on a relevant relaxed nonlinear optimization problem. In the directed, weighted setting, we derive and analyze a globally convergent iterative algorithm. We also relate the algorithm to a maximum likelihood reordering problem on an appropriate core-periphery random graph model. We illustrate the effectiveness of the new algorithm on a large scale directed email network.
