拟阵和背包不确定集下的鲁棒和MaxMin优化

Robust and MaxMin Optimization under Matroid and Knapsack Uncertainty Sets

Anupam Gupta, Viswanath Nagarajan, R. Ravi

摘要:

请考虑以下问题:给定一个集合系统(U,I)和同一论域U上的一个边权图G =(U,E),找到I中的集合A,使得终端为A的Steiner树成本尽可能大:“I中的哪个集合最难连接?这是一个极大极小问题的例子:找到I中的集合A,使得某个最小化(覆盖)问题的值尽可能大。在本文中,我们表明,对于某些覆盖问题,承认良好的确定性在线算法,我们可以给好的算法的最大-最小优化时,集系统I是由一个p-系统或q-背包或两者。这个结果与子模函数的约束最大化结果相似。虽然许多自然覆盖问题,甚至不近似次模块化,我们表明,可以使用的在线算法作为一个代理子模块化的属性。此外,我们给出了更强的最大-最小优化和两阶段的鲁棒优化之间的联系,从而给出了各种覆盖问题的鲁棒版本的改进算法,对于不确定性集由p-系统和q-背包给出的情况。

英文摘要:

Consider the following problem: given a set system (U,I) and an edge-weighted graph G = (U, E) on the same universe U, find the set A in I such that the Steiner tree cost with terminals A is as large as possible: "which set in I is the most difficult to connect up?" This is an example of a max-min problem: find the set A in I such that the value of some minimization (covering) problem is as large as possible. In this paper, we show that for certain covering problems which admit good deterministic online algorithms, we can give good algorithms for max-min optimization when the set system I is given by a p-system or q-knapsacks or both. This result is similar to results for constrained maximization of submodular functions. Although many natural covering problems are not even approximately submodular, we show that one can use properties of the online algorithm as a surrogate for submodularity. Moreover, we give stronger connections between max-min optimization and two-stage robust optimization, and hence give improved algorithms for robust versions of various covering problems, for cases where the uncertainty sets are given by p-systems and q-knapsacks.
