Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this paper we consider the local access telecommunication network expansion problem, in which growing demand can be satisfied by expanding cable capacities and/or installing concentrators in the network. The problem is known to be NP-hard. We prove that the problem is weakly NP-hard, and present a pseudo-polynomial dynamic programming algorithm for the problem, with time complexity O(nB(2)) and storage requirements O(nB), where n refers to the size of the network, and B to an upper bound on concentrator capacity. The cost structure in the network is assumed to be decomposable, but may be non-convex, non-concave, and node and edge dependent otherwise. This allows for incorporation of many aspects occurring in practical planning problems. Computational results indicate that the algorithm is very efficient and can solve medium to large scale problems to optimality within (fractions of) seconds to minutes. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
