Instance files

There are 142 data files corresponding to VSP test instances available here All of these instances are solved in  "The vertex separator problem: algorithms and computations" (see reference details in References section). The format of these data files is:



  b value, number of nodes (n), number of edges

   for each node i (i = 1,...,n) in turn:
      'v', node, node cost
   for each edge (i,j) (i,j=1,...,n, i < j) in turn:
      'e', i, j, edge  cost
