标 题: graph question: what is "genus" ?
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Wed May 29 18:58:51 2013, 美东)
tried to read wikipedia but still got very confused
in this paragraph:
"
The Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem on Graphs with Bounded Genus
Shayan Oveis Gharan∗ Amin Saberi∗
.....
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for the
Asymmetric Traveling Salesman
Problem (ATSP) for metrics defined by a weighted directed graph with a
bounded orientable genus.
This is a natural special case: consider a metric obtained by shortest path
distances in a city with one
way streets and a constant number of bridges and underpasses.
"
could someone please tell me what is the genus in a completely-connected
graph with N nodes (i.e. with N*(N-1) edges)
thanks |
