An exact algorithm for disaster-resilience augmentation of planar straight-line graphs
摘要
We consider the problem of adding a minimum length set of edges to a geometric graph so that the resultant graph is resilient against partition from the effect of a single disaster. Disasters are modeled by discs of given maximum radius, and a disaster destroys all edges intersecting its interior. It is assumed that the input and output graphs are planar with a straight-line embedding. We provide a computationally simple characterisation of feasible input instances in terms of the convex hull of the given graph, and present a fast ILP algorithm for generating optimal solutions. We also perform a computational study which shows that our algorithm is able to solve randomly generated instances with hundreds of nodes.
