Abstract

We consider the graphs with matrices whose entries (i.e., the weights of edges) are randomly and independently chosen in an interval unbounded above and with a continuous distribution function. Probabilistic analysis is carried out of an approximation algorithm with quadratic time complexity for an exponential distribution. Some sufficient conditions for the asymptotic optimality of the algorithmare justified. Similar conditions are also obtained for a truncated normal distribution.
