On Finding Optimal (Dynamic) Arborescences (2311.03262v1)

Published 6 Nov 2023 in cs.DS

Abstract: Let G = (V, E) be a directed and weighted graph with vertex set V of size n and edge set E of size m, such that each edge (u, v) \in E has a real-valued weight w(u, c). An arborescence in G is a subgraph T = (V, E') such that for a vertex u \in V, the root, there is a unique path in T from u to any other vertex v \in V. The weight of T is the sum of the weights of its edges. In this paper, given G, we are interested in finding an arborescence in G with minimum weight, i.e., an optimal arborescence. Furthermore, when G is subject to changes, namely edge insertions and deletions, we are interested in efficiently maintaining a dynamic arborescence in G. This is a well known problem with applications in several domains such as network design optimization and in phylogenetic inference. In this paper we revisit algorithmic ideas proposed by several authors for this problem, we provide detailed pseudo-code as well as implementation details, and we present experimental results on large scale-free networks and on phylogenetic inference. Our implementation is publicly available at \url{https://gitlab.com/espadas/optimal-arborescences}.
