Title
An Experimental Study of Minimum Mean Cycle Algorithms
Abstract
We study algorithms for the minimum mean cycle prob- lem, a parametric version of shortest path feasibility (SPF). The three basic approaches to the problem are cycle-based, binary search, and tree-based. The first two use an SPF algorithm as a subroutine, while the latter uses a parametric approach. When implementing the SPF-based methods, one has a choice of SPF algo- rithms and incremental optimization strategies. There are also several ways to handle precision issues. This leads to dozens of variants, which we systematically compare. Our experimental setup is more compre- hensive than in previous studies. In our experiments, the tree-based method and two implementations of the cycle-based method outperformed other approaches, in- cluding binary search.
