A randomly weighted minimum arborescence with a random cost constraint

Abstract

We study the minimum spanning arborescence problem on the complete digraph Kn\vec{K}_n where an edge ee has a weight WeW_e and a cost CeC_e, each of which is an independent uniform random variable UαU^\alpha where α1\alpha\leq 1 and UU is uniform [0,1][0,1]. There is also a constraint that the spanning arborescence TT must satisfy C(T)c0C(T)\leq c_0. We establish, for a range of values for c0,αc_0,\alpha, the asymptotic value of the optimum weight via the consideration of a dual problem.
