Abstract

We present a polynomial-time greedy algorithm that assigns proper wavelengths to a set of requests of maximum load L per directed fiber link on a directed fiber tree using at most 5/3L wavelengths. This improves previous results of Raghavan and Upfal (Proc. Ann. ACM Symp. on theory of computing STOC, 1994, pp. 134–143), Mihail et al. (Proc. 36th IEEE Symp. on Foundations of Computer Science, 1995, pp. 548–557), Kaklamanis and Persiano (Proc. Algorithms — ESA 96, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 1136, pp. 460–470), Kumar and Schwabe (Proc. 8th Ann. ACM-SIAM Symp. on Discrete Algorithms SODA, 1997, pp. 437–444).

We also prove that no greedy algorithm can in general use less than 5/3L wavelengths for a set of requests of load L in a directed fiber tree, and thus our algorithm is optimal in the class of greedy algorithms which includes the algorithms presented in [8–10, 12].
