Study Notes
Hungarian Algorithm
- The algorithm aims to find minimum cost assignments in a cost matrix.
- Steps include covering lines, finding the smallest uncovered entry, and manipulating the matrix.
- The process involves circling zero entries to match rows and columns effectively.
- Multiple solutions can exist for a given cost matrix.
Example of Minimum Cost Assignment
- Initial cost matrix:
- [8, 8, 6]
- [2, 3, 7]
- [4, 9, 3]
- Through several steps, the algorithm transforms the matrix to find the optimal zero entries leading to minimum costs.
Maximum Cost Assignment
- For non-square matrices, the algorithm adjusts entries for calculations.
- Example provided:
- Original cost matrix:
- [3, 5, 2]
- [6, 4, 1]
- A maximum assignment is derived through similar steps as in the minimum cost assignment.
- Original cost matrix:
Flow Network Concepts
- Source: Starting point for flow.
- Sink: Endpoint where flow concludes.
- Flow: Balance of flow into and out of a node; respects edge weights.
- Maximum Flow: Greatest feasible flow under given constraints.
- Cut: Represents a division in the network that halts flow.
- Minimum Cut: The smallest cut quantifying the minimum sum of edge weights.
Maximum Flow Steps
- Identify accessible paths from source to sink.
- Calculate the maximum flow along chosen paths and adjust edge values accordingly.
- Repeat until no further flow can be achieved.
Drawing a Cut
- Edges that direct flow towards the source are included in the cut.
- Cut capacity is determined by summing the weights of connecting edges.
Max Flow-Min Cut Theorem
- The capacity of the maximum flow equals the capacity of the minimum cut, confirming flow limits in a network.
Walks, Paths, and Trails
- Walk: Sequence of vertices where repeats are allowed.
- Path: Sequence without repeated vertices; open and closed types exist based on endpoints.
- Trail: Similar to paths but allows edge repeats; can also be open or closed.
Eulerian Graphs
- Defined by having a closed trail that visits every edge once.
- All vertices must have even degrees for a graph to be Eulerian.
- Semi-Eulerian graphs allow one pair of vertices with an odd degree.
Hamiltonian Graphs
- Feature closed paths visiting all vertices once, excluding start and end revisits.
- Semi-Hamiltonian graphs contain open paths that cover all vertices exactly once.
