Abstract: Given a weighted
directed graph the
minimum feedback arc set problem consists of finding a minimum weight set of
arcs such
that the directed graph is
acyclic. Similarly, the minimum feedback vertex set problem consists of finding
a minimum weight set of vertices containing at least one vertex for each
directed cycle. In this paper, we have developed a generalized heuristic program
DTCPP (decyclization through C++)
[17] for decyclization of weighted directed graphs by using simple combinatorial
algorithms [5].
