Port min cost arborescence

comment:5 Changed 15 years ago by Balazs Dezso

The patch [3774c5a08cb0] contains the port. Maybe it can be renamed to MinCostBranching?. What is your opinion?

Please ask an expert or google which one is the more widely accepted name so that I can merge it into the main branch.

At first look, both names are conventional, the arborescence can be found easier, because the branching name can be found in other contexts also. As I remember, there is a slight difference between the names, actually the arborescence has exactly one root, while the branching can have multiple roots. Furthermore, the algorithm is discovered independently by Liu and Chu, and Edmond, the titles of the articles are accordingly "On the shortest arborescence of directed graphs" and "Optimum branchings".

What to do then? Shell we keep using "arborescence"?

So, shell I put the patch to the main branch "as is"?

Yes, in my opinion it can go into the main branch. The arborescence name is suitable for the algorithm.

I added the test file to the cmake config, and pushed it to the main branch. See [7f8560cb9d65].
