容错设施选址:随机相关LP舍入算法

Fault-Tolerant Facility Location: a randomized dependent LP-rounding algorithm

Jaroslaw Byrka, Aravind Srinivasan, Chaitanya Swamy

摘要:

针对度量容错无容量限制设施选址问题,给出了一种新的随机LP舍入1.725-近似算法。这改进了以前最著名的Swamy & Shmoys的2.076-近似算法。据我们所知,我们的工作提供了第一个应用程序的相关舍入技术在设施的位置。我们的算法的分析受益于,并扩展,开发无能力的设施位置的方法,它也有助于发现新的属性的依赖舍入方法。一个重要的概念,我们开发的是一种新的,层次聚类方案。通常,用于设施选址问题的LP舍入近似算法基于将设施划分为不相交的集群并且在每个集群中打开至少一个设施。我们扩展了这种方法,并构建了一个层状家庭的集群,然后指导舍入过程。它允许利用相关舍入的属性,并提供了一个相当紧密的分析,从而提高了近似比。

英文摘要:

We give a new randomized LP-rounding 1.725-approximation algorithm for the metric Fault-Tolerant Uncapacitated Facility Location problem. This improves on the previously best known 2.076-approximation algorithm of Swamy & Shmoys. To the best of our knowledge, our work provides the first application of a dependent-rounding technique in the domain of facility location. The analysis of our algorithm benefits from, and extends, methods developed for Uncapacitated Facility Location; it also helps uncover new properties of the dependent-rounding approach. An important concept that we develop is a novel, hierarchical clustering scheme. Typically, LP-rounding approximation algorithms for facility location problems are based on partitioning facilities into disjoint clusters and opening at least one facility in each cluster. We extend this approach and construct a laminar family of clusters, which then guides the rounding procedure. It allows to exploit properties of dependent rounding, and provides a quite tight analysis resulting in the improved approximation ratio.
