用帕累托前沿首层直接驱动多目标图搜索,无需启发式或随机模型。
Skyline-First Traversal as a Control Mechanism for Multi-Criteria Graph Search
- 仅从帕累托首层(天际线)提取路径,实现确定性下降的完成势能。
- 基于向量下界证明确保终止,覆盖所有未遍历路径的支配关系。
- 适用于无启发式、无标量化、无概率模型的确定性搜索场景。
在多目标图遍历中,帕累托支配关系仅能识别非劣解,无法决定下一步扩展或何时停止。现有方法依赖外部机制——启发式、标量化或种群探索,使帕累托支配仅用于被动剪枝或排序。本文表明,在受限成本模型、有限成本网格、马尔可夫转移及非零进展度量条件下,帕累托几何本身足以驱动调度与终止。仅从第一帕累托层(天际线)提取路径,可诱导离散完成势能的确定性下降,确保单调逼近解完成。同时,向量下界证书提供停止条件,保证对剩余遍历路径的支配覆盖,无需预设解的数量。分析证明了确定性势能下降、基于支配覆盖的可证终止、由成本网格几何带来的层宽统一上界,以及天际线内贪婪的成本空间分散性。该框架无需标量化、启发式引导或概率模型,将帕累托支配从被动过滤器转为确定性搜索驱动力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In multi-criteria graph traversal, paths are compared via Pareto dominance, an ordering that identifies which paths are non-dominated, but says nothing about which path to expand next or when the search may stop. As a result, existing approaches rely on external mechanisms-heuristics, scalarization, or population-based exploration while Pareto dominance remains confined to passive roles such as pruning or ranking. This paper shows that, under constrained cost models, finite cost grids, Markovian transitions, and a nonzero progress measure, Pareto geometry alone is sufficient to drive both scheduling and termination. We show that extracting exclusively from the first Pareto layer, the skyline, induces a deterministic descent in a discrete completion potential, ensuring monotone progress toward solution completion. In parallel, a vector lower-bound certificate provides a stopping condition that guarantees dominance coverage of all remaining traversals without requiring a predefined number of solutions. Our analysis establishes deterministic potential descent, certified termination via dominance coverage, a uniform bound on layer width induced by cost-grid geometry, and greedy cost-space dispersion within the skyline. The resulting framework operates without scalarization, heuristic guidance, or probabilistic models, and repositions Pareto dominance from a passive filter to a deterministic driver of search.
