Abstract

In this paper, a graph partitioning problem that arises in the design ofSONET/SDH networks is defined and formalized. Approximation algorithms withperformance guarantees are presented. To solve this problem efficiently inpractice, fast greedy algorithms and a tabu-search method are proposed andanalyzed by means of an experimental study.
