PENERAPAN ALGORITMA DIJKSTRA DALAM PENENTUAN LINTASAN TERPENDEK MENUJU UPT. PUSKESMAS CILODONG KOTA DEPOK

One of the government's efforts in providing health to the community is the construction of health centers in each sub-district, and the community is expected to be able to take advantage of the health facilities provided by the government. One of the problems that exist in the community is determining the shortest distance to the puskesmas. In Depok City, there are 26 routes that can be passed from the 38 nodes or vertices to the Cilodong Health Center with the starting point of the Depok mayor's office. This study uses a survey research method to calculate the actual distance at each node or vertex, the purpose of this study is to determine the shortest path taken by the starting point from the Depok mayor's office to get to the Cilodong Health Center by applying the dijkstra algorithm. This dijkstra algorithm works by visiting all existing points and making a route if there are 2 routes to the same 1 point then the route that has the lowest weight is chosen so that all points have an optimal route. This quest continues until the final destination point. After doing this research and testing using a simple application to calculate the distance by applying the djikstra algorithm, it was found that the shortest path taken to the destination is through the GDC Main Gate or on the test results in Iteration 26. From the results of this study, people can choose this closest route to save time when viewed from the distance of the existing track. For further research, it is expected to be able to compare two other algorithms and other parameters so that the closest route with the fastest time is obtained

Improvements on the k-center problem for uncertain data

In real applications, there are situations where we need to model some problems based on uncertain data. This leads us to define an uncertain model for some classical geometric optimization problems and propose algorithms to solve them. In this paper, we study the $k$-center problem, for uncertain input. In our setting, each uncertain point $P_i$ is located independently from other points in one of several possible locations $\{P_{i,1},\dots, P_{i,z_i}\}$ in a metric space with metric $d$, with specified probabilities and the goal is to compute $k$-centers $\{c_1,\dots, c_k\}$ that minimize the following expected cost $$Ecost(c_1,\dots, c_k)=\sum_{R\in \Omega} prob(R)\max_{i=1,\dots, n}\min_{j=1,\dots k} d(\hat{P}_i,c_j)$$ here $\Omega$ is the probability space of all realizations $$R=\{\hat{P}_1,\dots, \hat{P}_n\}$$ of given uncertain points and $$prob(R)=\prod_{i=1}^n prob(\hat{P}_i).$$ In restricted assigned version of this problem, an assignment $A:\{P_1,\dots, P_n\}\rightarrow \{c_1,\dots, c_k\}$ is given for any choice of centers and the goal is to minimize $$Ecost_A(c_1,\dots, c_k)=\sum_{R\in \Omega} prob(R)\max_{i=1,\dots, n} d(\hat{P}_i,A(P_i)).$$ In unrestricted version, the assignment is not specified and the goal is to compute $k$ centers $\{c_1,\dots, c_k\}$ and an assignment $A$ that minimize the above expected cost. We give several improved constant approximation factor algorithms for the assigned versions of this problem in a Euclidean space and in a general metric space. Our results significantly improve the results of \cite{guh} and generalize the results of \cite{wang} to any dimension. Our approach is to replace a certain center point for each uncertain point and study the properties of these certain points. The proposed algorithms are efficient and simple to implement

Net and Prune: A Linear Time Algorithm for Euclidean Distance Problems

We provide a general framework for getting expected linear time constant factor approximations (and in many cases FPTAS's) to several well known problems in Computational Geometry, such as $k$-center clustering and farthest nearest neighbor. The new approach is robust to variations in the input problem, and yet it is simple, elegant and practical. In particular, many of these well studied problems which fit easily into our framework, either previously had no linear time approximation algorithm, or required rather involved algorithms and analysis. A short list of the problems we consider include farthest nearest neighbor, $k$-center clustering, smallest disk enclosing $k$ points, $k$th largest distance, $k$th smallest $m$-nearest neighbor distance, $k$th heaviest edge in the MST and other spanning forest type problems, problems involving upward closed set systems, and more. Finally, we show how to extend our framework such that the linear running time bound holds with high probability

Minimizing the average distance to a closest leaf in a phylogenetic tree

When performing an analysis on a collection of molecular sequences, it can be convenient to reduce the number of sequences under consideration while maintaining some characteristic of a larger collection of sequences. For example, one may wish to select a subset of high-quality sequences that represent the diversity of a larger collection of sequences. One may also wish to specialize a large database of characterized "reference sequences" to a smaller subset that is as close as possible on average to a collection of "query sequences" of interest. Such a representative subset can be useful whenever one wishes to find a set of reference sequences that is appropriate to use for comparative analysis of environmentally-derived sequences, such as for selecting "reference tree" sequences for phylogenetic placement of metagenomic reads. In this paper we formalize these problems in terms of the minimization of the Average Distance to the Closest Leaf (ADCL) and investigate algorithms to perform the relevant minimization. We show that the greedy algorithm is not effective, show that a variant of the Partitioning Among Medoids (PAM) heuristic gets stuck in local minima, and develop an exact dynamic programming approach. Using this exact program we note that the performance of PAM appears to be good for simulated trees, and is faster than the exact algorithm for small trees. On the other hand, the exact program gives solutions for all numbers of leaves less than or equal to the given desired number of leaves, while PAM only gives a solution for the pre-specified number of leaves. Via application to real data, we show that the ADCL criterion chooses chimeric sequences less often than random subsets, while the maximization of phylogenetic diversity chooses them more often than random. These algorithms have been implemented in publicly available software.Comment: Please contact us with any comments or questions

Approximating kk-Median via Pseudo-Approximation

We present a novel approximation algorithm for $k$-median that achieves an approximation guarantee of $1+\sqrt{3}+\epsilon$, improving upon the decade-old ratio of $3+\epsilon$. Our approach is based on two components, each of which, we believe, is of independent interest. First, we show that in order to give an $\alpha$-approximation algorithm for $k$-median, it is sufficient to give a \emph{pseudo-approximation algorithm} that finds an $\alpha$-approximate solution by opening $k+O(1)$ facilities. This is a rather surprising result as there exist instances for which opening $k+1$ facilities may lead to a significant smaller cost than if only $k$ facilities were opened. Second, we give such a pseudo-approximation algorithm with $\alpha= 1+\sqrt{3}+\epsilon$. Prior to our work, it was not even known whether opening $k + o(k)$ facilities would help improve the approximation ratio.Comment: 18 page

Fast Hierarchical Clustering and Other Applications of Dynamic Closest Pairs

We develop data structures for dynamic closest pair problems with arbitrary distance functions, that do not necessarily come from any geometric structure on the objects. Based on a technique previously used by the author for Euclidean closest pairs, we show how to insert and delete objects from an n-object set, maintaining the closest pair, in O(n log^2 n) time per update and O(n) space. With quadratic space, we can instead use a quadtree-like structure to achieve an optimal time bound, O(n) per update. We apply these data structures to hierarchical clustering, greedy matching, and TSP heuristics, and discuss other potential applications in machine learning, Groebner bases, and local improvement algorithms for partition and placement problems. Experiments show our new methods to be faster in practice than previously used heuristics.Comment: 20 pages, 9 figures.

Statistical Pruning for Near-Maximum Likelihood Decoding

In many communications problems, maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding reduces to finding the closest (skewed) lattice point in N-dimensions to a given point xisin CN. In its full generality, this problem is known to be NP-complete. Recently, the expected complexity of the sphere decoder, a particular algorithm that solves the ML problem exactly, has been computed. An asymptotic analysis of this complexity has also been done where it is shown that the required computations grow exponentially in N for any fixed SNR. At the same time, numerical computations of the expected complexity show that there are certain ranges of rates, SNRs and dimensions N for which the expected computation (counted as the number of scalar multiplications) involves no more than N3 computations. However, when the dimension of the problem grows too large, the required computations become prohibitively large, as expected from the asymptotic exponential complexity. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that, for large N, offers substantial computational savings over the sphere decoder, while maintaining performance arbitrarily close to ML. We statistically prune the search space to a subset that, with high probability, contains the optimal solution, thereby reducing the complexity of the search. Bounds on the error performance of the new method are proposed. The complexity of the new algorithm is analyzed through an upper bound. The asymptotic behavior of the upper bound for large N is also analyzed which shows that the upper bound is also exponential but much lower than the sphere decoder. Simulation results show that the algorithm is much more efficient than the original sphere decoder for smaller dimensions as well, and does not sacrifice much in terms of performance
