Abstract

In this paper we present a novel A* algorithm to solve the Directed Linear Arrangement Problem. By using a branch and bound technique to embed a given directed acyclic graph into a layerwise partition search graph, the optimal directed ordering is then be identified through a A* shortest path search in the embedding graph. In order to reduce the memory requirement of the A* search, we also discuss a implementation of the relay node technique from Zhou [11].
