I don't know any concrete real life problem, of course everyting real life problem that is in NP can be reducet to this problem. That includes timetable sheduling. | think there is no such problem in networks, because you need to know topology ad it has to be fixed. And if you want to make multicas

I found a number of real life applications for the problem, like garbage collection, a version of postman problem, gas system construction.. I am looking for applications for the problem in networks, if any one can help. On 3/14/09, Miroslav Balaz wrote: > > > NP what? > 2009/3/13 Amina Maarouf

maybe you are not wrong. but with high probability you are wrong. In general case, this problem cannot ba approximated for any polynomialy computable function f. You can tell me the algorithm or give me reason why trirvial reduction from TSP does not work here? 2009/3/13 Ajinkya Kale > If i am
