In this paper, we present a branch-and-cut algorithm for the exact solution of an NP-hard extension of the well-known Minimum-Weight Arborescence (MWA) problem, in which resource constraints for each node are considered. This Resource-Constrained Minimum-Weight Arborescence (RMWA) problem arises, e.

The degree-constrained spanning tree problem is of high practical importance. Up to now, there are few effective algorithms to solve this problem because of its NP-hard complexity. In this paper, we present a new approach to solve this problem by using genetic algorithms and computational results to
The Capacitated Minimum Spanning Tree Problem (CMSTP) is to find a minimum spanning tree subject to an additional constraint stating that the number of nodes in each subtree pending from a given root node is not greater than a given number Q. Gouveia and Martins (1996) proposed a hop-indexed flow mo
In this paper, we consider the Steiner problem in graphs, which is the problem of connecting together, at minimum cost, a number of vertices in an undirected graph with nonnegative edge costs. We use the formulation of this problem as a shortest spanning tree (SST) problem with additional constraint
The Selective Traveling Salesman Problem (STSP) is defined on a graph in which profits are associated with vertices and costs are associated with edges. Some vertices are compulsory. The aim is to construct a tour of maximal profit including all compulsory vertices and whose cost does not exceed a p
The Capacitated Shortest Spanning Tree Problem consists of determining a shortest spanning tree in a vertex weighted graph such that the weight of every subtree linked to the root by an edge does not exceed a prescribed capacity. We propose a tabu search heuristic for this problem, as well as dynami
