Consideramos o problema de colocar setas, que indicam a direção de cada aresta em desenhos de grafos direcionados, sem fazê-las se sobreporem tanto quanto possível a outras setas, vértices e arestas. Os dois métodos a seguir foram propostos para este problema. Trata-se de um algoritmo exato para o caso em que a posição de cada seta está restrita a alguns pontos discretos. O outro é um algoritmo heurístico para o caso em que a seta pode se mover continuamente em cada aresta. Neste artigo, assumimos que as posições das setas não estão restritas a pontos discretos e propomos um algoritmo exato para o problema de encontrar um posicionamento de setas tal que (a) a soma ponderada dos números de sobreposições com arestas, vértices e outras setas seja minimizada e (b) a soma das distâncias entre as setas e os vértices terminais de suas arestas é minimizada como objetivo secundário. O método proposto resolve este problema reduzindo-o a um problema de programação linear inteira mista. Como este é um algoritmo de tempo exponencial, adicionamos um procedimento simples como pré-processamento para reduzir o tempo de execução. Os resultados experimentais mostram que o método proposto pode encontrar um melhor posicionamento da seta do que os métodos anteriores e o procedimento para reduzir o tempo de execução é eficaz.

Abstract: We consider the problem of placing arrows, which indicate the direction of each edge in directed graph drawings, without making them overlap other arrows, vertices and edges as much as possible. The following two methods have been proposed for this problem. One is an exact algorithm for the case in which the position of each arrow is restricted to some discrete points. The other is a heuristic algorithm for the case in which the arrow is allowed to move continuously on each edge. In this paper, we assume that the arrow positions are not restricted to discrete points and propose an exact algorithm for the problem of finding an arrow placement such that (a) the weighted sum of the numbers of overlaps with edges, vertices and other arrows is minimized and (b) the sum of the distances between the arrows and their edges' terminal vertices is minimized as a secondary objective. The proposed method solves this problem by reducing it to a mixed integer linear programming problem. Since this is an exponential time algorithm, we add a simple procedure as preprocessing to reduce the running time. Experimental results show that the proposed method can find a better arrow placement than the previous methods and the procedure for reducing the running time is effective.
