  22. 1.2.2 Genetic Representation • Procedure of Encoding for Prüfer number (Zhou & Gen, 1997) input: spanning tree data set T output: Prüfer number Pstep 1: Let node i be the smallest labeled leaf node in a labeled tree T. step 2: Let j be the first digit in the encoding, as the code jincident to i is uniquely determined. The encoding is built by appending digits from left to right. step 3: Remove node i and the link from i to j, thus there is a tree with k-1 nodes. step 4: Repeat the steps above until one link is left. P is obtained. WASEDA UNIVERSITY , IPS

  23. 1.2.2 Genetic Representation • Procedure of Decoding for Prüfer number (Zhou & Gen, 1997) input: Prüfer number P output: spanning tree data set T step 1: Let P be the original Prüfer number and let P' be the set of all nodes not included in P, which are designated as eligible nodes for consideration in building a tree T. step 2: Let i be the eligible node with the smallest label. Let j be the left most digit of P. Add the edge from i to j into the tree T. Remove i from P' and j from P. If j does not occur anywhere in P, put it into P'. Repeat the process until no digits are left in P. step 3: If no digits remain in P, there are exactly two nodes, r and s, still eligible for consideration. Add a link from r to s into tree and form a tree with k-1 links. WASEDA UNIVERSITY , IPS

  47. 3.1 Concept on Degree-based Permutation GA • Literature Review • The dc-MST problem was first proposed by Narula and Ho, regarded as NP-hard problem (1980). • Simple Heuristic Approach: • Narula and Ho (Computer & Operations Research, vol. 7, 1980) • Edge Exchange Heuristic Approach: • Savelsbergh and Volgenant (Computers & Operations Research, vol. 12, no. 4, 1985) • Langrangean Multipliers Approach: • Volgenant (European J. of Operational Research, vol. 39, 1989) • Genetic Algorithm Approach using Prüfer Number: • Zhou and Gen (Proceedings of 1996 IEEE Internat.

  48. 3.1 Concept on Degree-based Permutation GA • Any Genetic Algorithms approach designed for a particular problem should address two main factors: (1) genetic representation of solutions to the problem, usually termed as chromosome or individual. (2) genetic operators that would alter the genetic composition of chromosomes during the evolutionary process. WASEDA UNIVERSITY , IPS

  49. 3.2 Genetic Algorithms Approach • One of the classic theorems in graphical enumeration is Cayley'stheorem that there are n(n-2) distinct labeled trees on a complete network with n vertices. • Prüfer provided a constructive proof of Cayley's theorem by establishing a one-to-one mapping between such trees and the set of all string of n-2 digits. • This means that it is possible to use only n-2 digits permutation to uniquely represent a tree where each digit is an integer between 1 and n inclusive. • This permutation is usually known as Prüfer number. • Prüfer, H.: Neuer Beweis eines Satzes über Permutationen, Archiv fuer Mathemtische und Physik, vol. 27, pp. 742-744, 1918. • In this study,Prüfer numberis used torepresent a candidate tree and initial populationis generated using complete random method.

Above figure shows that changing even one digit of a Prüfer number can change the tree dramatically. Fig. 7.17 Illustration of Prüfer number • Lo, C. C. & W. H.
