Abstract

This paper deals with the Flooding Problem on graphs. This problem consists in finding the shortest sequence of flooding moves that turns a colored graph into a monochromatic one. The problem has applications in some areas as disease propagation, for example. Three metaheuristics versions are proposed and compared with the literature results. A new integer programming formulation is also proposed and tested with the only formulation known. The obtained results indicate that both the proposed formulation and the Evolutionary Algorithm are, respectively, the best exact and heuristic approaches for the problem.
