Optimal wavelength routing on directed fiber trees. (English) Zbl 0933.68155

Summary: We present a polynomial-time greedy algorithm that assigns proper wavelengths to a set of requests of maximum load \(L\) per directed fiber link on a directed fiber tree using at most \(5/3L\) wavelengths. This improves previous results of (*) P. Raghavan and E. Upfal [Proc. Ann. ACM Symp. on theory of computing STOC, 1994, pp. 134-143], (**) M. Mihail, C. Kaklamanis and S. Rao [Proc. 36th IEEE Symp. on Foundations of Computer Science, 1995, pp. 548-557], C. Kaklamanis and P. Persiano [Proc. Algorithms – ESA 96, Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 1136, 460-470], V. Kumar and E. J. Schwabe [Proc. 8th Ann. ACM-SIAM Symp. on Discrete Algorithms SODA, 1997, pp. 437-444]. We also prove that no greedy algorithm can in general use less than 5/3L wavelengths for a set of requests of load L in a directed fiber tree, and thus our algorithm is optimal in the class of greedy algorithms which includes the algorithms presented in (*) (**).
