Problema de vendedor ambulante utilizando sucursal y límite

Dado un conjunto de ciudades y distancia entre cada par de ciudades, el problema es encontrar el recorrido más corto posible que visita cada ciudad exactamente una vez y regresa al punto de partida.
 

Euler1


Por ejemplo, considere el gráfico que se muestra en la figura en el lado derecho. Un recorrido en cucharaditas en el gráfico es 0-1-3-2-0. El costo del recorrido es 10+25+30+15, que es 80.
Hemos discutido las siguientes soluciones 
1) Programación ingenua y dinámica  
2) Solución aproximada usando MST
  
 
Rama y solución unida  
Como se ve en los artículos anteriores en el método de rama y unión para el nodo actual en el árbol, calculamos un límite en la mejor solución posible que podamos obtener si bajamos este nodo. Si el límite en la mejor solución posible en sí es peor que la mejor actual (mejor calculada hasta ahora), entonces ignoramos el subárbol enraizado con el nodo. 
Tenga en cuenta que el costo a través de un nodo incluye dos costos. 
1) Costo de alcanzar el nodo desde la raíz (cuando llegamos a un nodo, tenemos este costo calculado) 
2) Costo de alcanzar una respuesta del nodo actual a una hoja (calculamos un límite en este costo para decidir si ignorar el subárbol con este nodo o no).
 

  • En casos de un problema de maximización Un límite superior nos dice la solución máxima posible si seguimos el nodo dado. Por ejemplo en 0/1 mochila usamos un enfoque codicioso para encontrar un límite superior .
  • En casos de un problema de minimización Un límite inferior nos dice la solución mínima posible si seguimos el nodo dado. Por ejemplo en Problema de tarea de trabajo Obtenemos un límite inferior al asignar un trabajo de menor costo a un trabajador.


A la rama y en el límite, la parte desafiante es encontrar una forma de calcular un límite en la mejor solución posible. A continuación se muestra una idea utilizada para calcular límites para el problema de los vendedores viajeros.
El costo de cualquier recorrido se puede escribir como se muestra a continuación.
 

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 


Por ejemplo, considere el gráfico mostrado anterior. A continuación hay un costo mínimo dos bordes adyacentes a cada nodo. 
 

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. 


Ahora tenemos una idea sobre el cálculo del límite inferior. Veamos cómo aplicarlo en el árbol de búsqueda de espacio de estado. Comenzamos a enumerar todos los nodos posibles (preferiblemente en orden lexicográfico)
1. El nodo raíz: Sin pérdida de generalidad, suponemos que comenzamos en el vértice '0' para el cual se ha calculado el límite inferior anteriormente.
Lidiar con el nivel 2: El siguiente nivel enumera todos los vértices posibles a los que podemos ir (teniendo en cuenta que en cualquier camino un vértice tiene que ocurrir solo una vez) que son 1 2 3 ... n (tenga en cuenta que el gráfico está completo). Considere que estamos calculando para el vértice 1 ya que nos mudamos de 0 a 1 Nuestro recorrido ha incluido el borde 0-1. Esto nos permite hacer los cambios necesarios en el límite inferior de la raíz. 
 

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


¿Cómo funciona? Para incluir el borde 0-1, agregamos el costo de borde de 0-1 y restamos un peso de borde de tal manera que el límite inferior permanece lo más apretado posible, que sería la suma de los bordes mínimos de 0 y 1 dividido por 2. Claramente, el borde restado no puede ser menor que esto.
Lidiar con otros niveles: A medida que pasamos al siguiente nivel, enumeramos nuevamente todos los vértices posibles. Para el caso anterior que va más allá después de 1, revisamos por 2 3 4 ... n. 
Considere el límite inferior para 2 a medida que avanzamos de 1 a 1, incluimos el borde 1-2 al recorrido y alterar el nuevo límite inferior para este nodo.
 

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


Nota: El único cambio en la fórmula es que esta vez hemos incluido el segundo costo de borde mínimo para 1 porque el costo de borde mínimo ya se ha resta en nivel anterior.

El redondeo se está haciendo en esta línea de código:

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);  

En el algoritmo TSP de la rama y el límite, calculamos un límite inferior en el costo total de la solución óptima agregando los costos de borde mínimo para cada vértice y luego dividiendo por dos. Sin embargo, este límite inferior puede no ser un entero. Para obtener un límite inferior entero, podemos usar el redondeo.

En el código anterior, la variable Curr_bound contiene el límite inferior actual en el costo total de la solución óptima. Cuando visitamos un nuevo vértice en el nivel de nivel, calculamos un nuevo toque inferior New_bound tomando la suma de los costos de borde mínimo para el nuevo vértice y sus dos vecinos más cercanos. Luego actualizamos la variable Curr_bound redondeando New_Bound al entero más cercano.

Si el nivel es 1, redondeamos al entero más cercano. Esto se debe a que solo hemos visitado un vértice hasta ahora y queremos ser conservadores en nuestra estimación del costo total de la solución óptima. Si el nivel es mayor que 1, utilizamos una estrategia de redondeo más agresiva que tiene en cuenta el hecho de que ya hemos visitado algunos vértices y, por lo tanto, podemos hacer una estimación más precisa del costo total de la solución óptima.


Complejidad del tiempo: La peor complejidad de la rama y el límite sigue siendo la misma que la de la fuerza bruta claramente porque en el peor de los casos nunca tendremos la oportunidad de podar un nodo. Mientras que en la práctica funciona muy bien según la diferente instancia del TSP. La complejidad también depende de la elección de la función delimitadora, ya que son los que deciden cuántos nodos se podan podarse.
