@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6907, title = {An Alternative Proof for the NP-completeness of Top Right Access point-Minimum Length Corridor Problem}, author = {Priyadarsini P.L.K and Hemalatha T.}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In the Top Right Access point Minimum Length Corridor (TRA-MLC) problem [1], a rectangular boundary partitioned into rectilinear polygons is given and the problem is to find a corridor of least total length and it must include the top right corner of the outer rectangular boundary. A corridor is a tree containing a set of line segments lying along the outer rectangular boundary and/or on the boundary of the rectilinear polygons. The corridor must contain at least one point from the boundaries of the outer rectangle and also the rectilinear polygons. Gutierrez and Gonzalez [1] proved that the MLC problem, along with some of its restricted versions and variants, are NP-complete. In this paper, we give a shorter proof of NP-Completeness of TRA-MLC by findig the reduction in the following way. }, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {1}, number = {11}, year = {2007}, pages = {534 - 537}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6907}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/11}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 11, 2007}, }
