This is the documentation for the program viennaNodehopper, which is the implementation of the branch-and-cut algorithm
for the Steiner tree problem with revenues, budget and hop-constraints (STPRBH) described in
A Node-Based Layered Graph Approach for the Steiner Tree Problem with Revenues, Budget and Hop-Constraints
by Markus Sinnl and Ivana Ljubic. A technical report version of this paper can be downloaded by clicking here.
Please cite our paper, if you use our code.
Our code won the category STPRBH in the 11th DIMACS Challenge.
Problem Description
Download
To download the program, please click here.
Note that this program is intended to be run under Linux x64.
Verifying the Results Produced in Above Paper
- Download the instances by clicking here
- Create a folder instances in the same folder, where code also resides and put the instances in this folder
- Execute the script runAll.sh (this will sequentially start the runs for every instance in the folder instances with settings as used in the paper)
To run a single-instance with the settings used in the paper, execute runSingle.sh INSTANCE.
Trying Some Other Options
The program allows to turn on/off various separation routines, the heuristic, and some more settings.
Please run STPRBH --help for details on the possible settings. See also runSingle.sh, where most of the available options are set (note that the values set in the script are also default in the code).
