Abstract
In the Weighted Ring Arc-Loading Problem with Integer Splitting, we are given a set of communication requests each associated with a non-negative integer weight. The problem is to find a routing scheme such that the maximum load on arcs of the ring is minimized, subject to that the weight of each request may be split into two integral parts routed in two directions around the ring, where the load of an arc is the sum of parts routed through the arc. A pseudo-polynomial algorithm for this problem is implied by a result in [G. Wilfong and P. Winkler, Ring routing and wavelength translation, Proceedings of the 9th ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, San Fancisco, CA, 1998, 333-341]. By r..
