다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper deals with the minimum linear arrangement(MinLA) of a lattice graph, to which an approximate algorithm of linear complexity O(n) remains as a viable solution, deriving the optimal MinLA of 31,680 for 33×33 lattice. This paper proposes a partitioning arrangement algorithm of complexity O(1) that delivers exact solution to the minimum linear arrangement. The proposed partitioning arrangement algorithm could be seen as loading boxes into a container. It firstly partitions m rows into r₁,r₂,r₃ and n columns into c₁,c₂,c₃, only to obtain 7 containers. Containers are partitioning with a rule. It finally assigns numbers to vertices in each of the partitioned boxes location-wise so as to obtain the MinLA. Given m,n≥11, the size of boxes C₂,C₄,C₆ is increased by 2 until an increase in the MinLA is detected. This process repeats itself 4 times at maximum given m,n≤100. When tested to lattice in the range of 2≤n≤100, the proposed algorithm has proved its universal applicability to lattices of both m=n and m≠n. It has also obtained optimal results for 33×33 and 100×100 lattices superior to those obtained by existing algorithms. The minimum linear arrangement algorithm proposed in this paper, with its simplicity and outstanding performance, could therefore be also applied to the field of Very Large Scale Integration circuit where m,n are infinitely large.
