The Reduction of Directed Cyclic Graph for Task Assignment Problem

In this paper, a directed cyclic graph (DCG) is proposed as the task graph. It is undesirable and impossible to complete the task according to the constraints if the cycle exists. Therefore, an effort should be done in order to eliminate the cycle to obtain a directed acyclic graph (DAG), so that th...
