Abstract

The problem of Minimum Congestion Hypergraph Embedding in a Weighted Cycle (MCHEWC) is to embed the hyperedges of a hypergraph as paths in a weighted cycle such that the maximum congestion, i.e. the maximum product of the weight of an edge and the number of times that the edge is passed by the embedding, is minimized. It is known that the problem, the same as the unweighted case, is NP-hard. The aim of this paper is to present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the problem.
