Zipping Segment Trees

Authors: Lukas Barth and Dorothea Wagner

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 160, 18th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2020)

Abstract
Stabbing queries in sets of intervals are usually answered using segment trees. A dynamic variant of segment trees has been presented by van Kreveld and Overmars, which uses red-black trees to do rebalancing operations. This paper presents zipping segment trees - dynamic segment trees based on zip trees, which were recently introduced by Tarjan et al. To facilitate zipping segment trees, we show how to uphold certain segment tree properties during the operations of a zip tree. We present an in-depth experimental evaluation and comparison of dynamic segment trees based on red-black trees, weight-balanced trees and several variants of the novel zipping segment trees. Our results indicate that zipping segment trees perform better than rotation-based alternatives.

Evaluation of a Flow-Based Hypergraph Bipartitioning Algorithm

Authors: Lars Gottesbüren, Michael Hamann, and Dorothea Wagner

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 144, 27th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2019)

Abstract
In this paper, we propose HyperFlowCutter, an algorithm for balanced hypergraph bipartitioning that is based on minimum S-T hyperedge cuts and maximum flows. It computes a sequence of bipartitions that optimize cut size and balance in the Pareto sense, being able to trade one for the other. HyperFlowCutter builds on the FlowCutter algorithm for partitioning graphs. We propose additional features, such as handling disconnected hypergraphs, novel methods for obtaining starting S,T pairs as well as an approach to refine a given partition with HyperFlowCutter. Our main contribution is ReBaHFC, a new algorithm which obtains an initial partition with the fast multilevel hypergraph partitioner PaToH and then improves it using HyperFlowCutter as a refinement algorithm. ReBaHFC is able to significantly improve the solution quality of PaToH at little additional running time. The solution quality is only marginally worse than that of the best-performing hypergraph partitioners KaHyPar and hMETIS, while being one order of magnitude faster. Thus ReBaHFC offers a new time-quality trade-off in the current spectrum of hypergraph partitioners. For the special case of perfectly balanced bipartitioning, only the much slower plain HyperFlowCutter yields slightly better solutions than ReBaHFC, while only PaToH is faster than ReBaHFC.

Engineering Negative Cycle Canceling for Wind Farm Cabling

Authors: Sascha Gritzbach, Torsten Ueckerdt, Dorothea Wagner, Franziska Wegner, and Matthias Wolf

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 144, 27th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2019)

Abstract
In a wind farm turbines convert wind energy into electrical energy. The generation of each turbine is transmitted, possibly via other turbines, to a substation that is connected to the power grid. On every possible interconnection there can be at most one of various different cable types. Each cable type comes with a cost per unit length and with a capacity. Designing a cost-minimal cable layout for a wind farm to feed all turbine production into the power grid is called the Wind Farm Cabling Problem (WCP). We consider a formulation of WCP as a flow problem on a graph where the cost of a flow on an edge is modeled by a step function originating from the cable types. Recently, we presented a proof-of-concept for a negative cycle canceling-based algorithm for WCP [Sascha Gritzbach et al., 2018]. We extend key steps of that heuristic and build a theoretical foundation that explains how this heuristic tackles the problems arising from the special structure of WCP. A thorough experimental evaluation identifies the best setup of the algorithm and compares it to existing methods from the literature such as Mixed-integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Simulated Annealing (SA). The heuristic runs in a range of half a millisecond to under two minutes on instances with up to 500 turbines. It provides solutions of similar quality compared to both competitors with running times of one hour and one day. When comparing the solution quality after a running time of two seconds, our algorithm outperforms the MILP- and SA-approaches, which allows it to be applied in interactive wind farm planning.

Towards a Topology-Shape-Metrics Framework for Ortho-Radial Drawings

Authors: Lukas Barth, Benjamin Niedermann, Ignaz Rutter, and Matthias Wolf

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 77, 33rd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2017)

Abstract
Ortho-Radial drawings are a generalization of orthogonal drawings to grids that are formed by concentric circles and straight-line spokes emanating from the circles' center. Such drawings have applications in schematic graph layouts, e.g., for metro maps and destination maps. A plane graph is a planar graph with a fixed planar embedding. We give a combinatorial characterization of the plane graphs that admit a planar ortho-radial drawing without bends. Previously, such a characterization was only known for paths, cycles, and theta graphs, and in the special case of rectangular drawings for cubic graphs, where the contour of each face is required to be a rectangle. The characterization is expressed in terms of an ortho-radial representation that, similar to Tamassia's orthogonal representations for orthogonal drawings describes such a drawing combinatorially in terms of angles around vertices and bends on the edges. In this sense our characterization can be seen as a first step towards generalizing the Topology-Shape-Metrics framework of Tamassia to ortho-radial drawings.
