Abstract | Given a connected, weighted, undirected graph G and a bound D, the bounded-diameter minimum spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G of lowest weight in which no path between two vertices contains more than D edges. This problem is NP-hard for 4 < D < n - 1, where n is the number of vertices in G. An existing greedy heuristic for the problem, called OTTC, is based on Prim's algorithm. OTTC usually yields poor results on instances in which the triangle inequality approximately holds; it always uses the lowest-weight edges that it can, but such edges do not in general connect the interior nodes of low-weight bounded-diameter trees. A new randomized greedy heuristic builds a bounded-diameter spanning tree from its center vertex or vertices. It chooses each next vertex at random but attaches the vertex with the lowest-weight eligible edge. This algorithm is faster than OTTC and yields substantially better solutions on Euclidean instances. An evolutionary algorithm encodes spanning trees as lists of their edges, augmented with their center vertices. It applies operators that maintain the diameter bound and always generate valid offspring trees. These operators are efficient, so the algorithm scales well to larger problem instances. On 25 Euclidean instances of up to 1000 vertices, the EA improved substantially on solutions found by the randomized greedy heuristic. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
