Problema de vendedor ambulante usando ramificação e limite

Dado um conjunto de cidades e distância entre todos os pares de cidades, o problema é encontrar a turnê mais curta possível que visita todas as cidades exatamente uma vez e retorna ao ponto de partida.
 

Euler1


Por exemplo, considere o gráfico mostrado na figura no lado direito. Um passeio TSP no gráfico é 0-1-3-2-0. O custo do passeio é 10+25+30+15, que é 80.
Discutimos as seguintes soluções 
1) Programação ingênua e dinâmica  
2) Solução aproximada usando MST
  
 
Ramificação e solução ligada  
Como visto nos artigos anteriores no método de ramificação e vinculado para o nó atual na árvore, calculamos um limite na melhor solução possível que podemos obter se diminuirmos esse nó. Se o limite da melhor solução possível é pior que o melhor atual (melhor calculado até agora), ignoramos a subárvore enraizada no nó. 
Observe que o custo através de um nó inclui dois custos. 
1) Custo de atingir o nó da raiz (quando atingimos um nó, temos esse custo calculado) 
2) Custo de atingir uma resposta do nó atual para uma folha (calculamos um limite nesse custo para decidir se ignorará a subárvore com este nó ou não).
 

  • Nos casos de um problema de maximização Um limite superior nos diz a solução máxima possível se seguirmos o nó fornecido. Por exemplo, em 0/1 Knapsack, usamos a abordagem gananciosa para encontrar um limite superior .
  • Nos casos de um problema de minimização Um limite inferior nos diz a solução mínima possível se seguirmos o nó fornecido. Por exemplo, em Problema de atribuição de trabalho Temos um limite inferior ao atribuir menos custos a um trabalhador.


Na filial e vinculado, a parte desafiadora é descobrir uma maneira de calcular um limite na melhor solução possível. Abaixo está uma ideia usada para calcular os limites para o problema de vendedor ambulante.
O custo de qualquer turnê pode ser escrito como abaixo.
 

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 exemplo, considere o gráfico mostrado acima. Abaixo estão o custo mínimo duas arestas adjacentes a todos os nós. 
 

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. 


Agora temos uma idéia sobre o cálculo do limite inferior. Vamos ver como aplicá -lo na árvore de busca de espaço estadual. Começamos a enumerar todos os nós possíveis (de preferência em ordem lexicográfica)
1. O nó raiz: Sem perda de generalidade, assumimos que começamos no vértice '0' para o qual o limite inferior foi calculado acima.
Lidar com o nível 2: O próximo nível enumera todos os vértices possíveis para os quais podemos ir (tendo em mente que em qualquer caminho um vértice deve ocorrer apenas uma vez) que são 1 2 3 ... n (observe que o gráfico está completo). Considere que estamos calculando para o Vertex 1 desde que passamos de 0 para 1 Nosso passeio incluiu agora o Edge 0-1. Isso nos permite fazer as alterações necessárias no limite inferior da raiz. 
 

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


Como funciona? Para incluir a borda 0-1, adicionamos o custo da borda de 0-1 e subtraia um peso de borda, de modo que o limite inferior permaneça o mais apertado possível, que seria a soma das bordas mínimas de 0 e 1 divididas por 2. Claramente a borda subtraída não pode ser menor que isso.
Lidar com outros níveis: À medida que passamos para o próximo nível, enumeramos novamente todos os vértices possíveis. Para o caso acima que vai mais longe após 1, verificamos 2 3 4 ... n. 
Considere o limite inferior para 2 à medida que passamos de 1 para 1, incluímos a borda 1-2 para o passeio e alteramos o novo limite inferior para este nó.
 

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


NOTA: A única alteração na fórmula é que, desta vez, incluímos o segundo custo mínimo da borda para 1 porque o custo mínimo da borda já foi subtraído no nível anterior.

O arredondamento está sendo feito nesta linha 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);  

No algoritmo TSP de ramificação e limite, calculamos um limite inferior ao custo total da solução ideal, adicionando os custos mínimos de borda para cada vértice e depois dividindo por dois. No entanto, esse limite inferior pode não ser um número inteiro. Para obter um limite inferior inteiro, podemos usar arredondamento.

No código acima, a variável curr_bound mantém o limite inferior atual no custo total da solução ideal. Quando visitamos um novo vértice no nível de nível, calculamos um novo candidato a limite inferior, obtendo a soma dos custos mínimos da borda para o novo vértice e seus dois vizinhos mais próximos. Em seguida, atualizamos a variável curr_bound arredondando new_bound para o número inteiro mais próximo.

Se o nível for 1, arredondamos até o número inteiro mais próximo. Isso ocorre porque já visitamos apenas um vértice e queremos ser conservadores em nossa estimativa do custo total da solução ideal. Se o nível for maior que 1, usamos uma estratégia de arredondamento mais agressiva que leva em consideração o fato de que já visitamos alguns vértices e, portanto, podemos fazer uma estimativa mais precisa do custo total da solução ideal.


Complexidade do tempo: A complexidade do pior caso de ramificação e limite permanece a mesma que a força bruta claramente, porque, na pior das hipóteses, podemos nunca ter a chance de podar um nó. Considerando que, na prática, ele tem um desempenho muito bom, dependendo da instância diferente da TSP. A complexidade também depende da escolha da função delimitadora, pois são os que decidem quantos nós são podados.
