Jack-III Ein Branch & Cut-Verfahren zur Lösung des gewichteten Steinerbaumproblems in Graphen
(1995)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die grundlegenden Gedanken und die Implementierung eines Branch & Cut-Algorithmus zur Lösung des gewichteten Steinerbaumproblems in Graphen beschrieben. Der Algorithmus basiert auf der linearen Relaxierung einer bidirektionalen ganzzahligen Formulierung des Problems. Wir werden das Problem einführen, drei ganzzahlige Modellierungen vorstellen, auf Reduktionsverfahren und Heuristiken eingehen sowie das Verfahren und seine Implementierung darstellen. Am Ende werden wir die Implementierung an 191 bekannten Probleminstanzen testen und auch optimale Lösungen fur zwei nach Wissen des Autors bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt ungelöste Instanzen liefern.
In this paper we present the implementation of a branch-and-cut algorithm for solving Steiner tree problems in graphs. Our algorithm is based on an integer programming formulation for directed graphs and comprises preprocessing, separation algorithms and primal heuristics. We are able to solve all problem instances discussed in literature to optimality, including one to our knowledge not yet solved problem. We also report on our computational experiences with some very large Steiner tree problems arising from the design of electronic circuits. All test problems are gathered in a newly introduced library called {\em SteinLib} that is accessible via World Wide Web.
Ende Juni diesen Jahres wurde das Gigabit-Wissenschaftsnetz offiziell gestartet. In der zweijährigen Vorbereitungsphase wurden nicht nur die technischen Möglichkeiten der neuen Übertragungstechniken und Dienste getestet. Es wurden auch verschiedene Fragestellungen zum effizienten Einsatz der verfügbaren Ressourcen für den Betrieb des G-WiN untersucht. In diesem Artikel beschreiben wir, wie das G-WiN zu seiner jetzigen Struktur und Topologie gekommen ist.
In this paper we present the {\em SteinLib}, a library of data sets for the Steiner tree problem in graphs. This library extends former libraries on Steiner tree problems by many new interesting and difficult instances, most of them arising from real-world applications. We give a survey on the difficulty of these problem instances by giving references to state-of-the-art software packages that were the first or are currently among the best to solve these instances.

In this article we study the problem of designing a nation-wide communication network. Such networks usually consist of an access layer, a backbone layer, and maybe several intermediate layers. The nodes of each layer must be connected to those of the next layer in a tree-like fashion. The backbone layer has to satisfy certain survivability and routing constraints. Given the node locations, the demands between them, the possible connections and hardware configurations, and various other technical and administrational constraints, the goal is to decide, which node is assigned to which network level, how the nodes are connected, what hardware must be installed, and how traffic is routed in the backbone. Mixed integer linear programming models and solution methods are presented for both the access and the backbone network design problem. The focus is on the design of IP-over-SDH networks, but the access network design model and large parts of the backbone network design models are general and also applicable for other types of communication networks. Results obtained with these methods in the planning of the German research network are presented.
