最短超弦下界的改进及相关问题

Improved Lower Bounds for the Shortest Superstring and Related Problems

Marek Karpinski, Richard Schmied

摘要:

研究了最短超弦、最大压缩和最大非对称旅行商(MAX-ATSP)问题的逼近难度。我们引入了一个新的减少方法,产生强限制的情况下,最短超弦问题,其中最大的轨道大小是8(没有字符出现超过8次)和所有给定的字符串长度为4。基于这种约简方法,我们能够将最短超弦问题和最大压缩问题的最佳近似下界提高一个数量级。这些结果也意味着MAX-ATSP问题的一个改进的近似下界。

英文摘要:

We study the approximation hardness of the Shortest Superstring, the Maximal Compression and the Maximum Asymmetric Traveling Salesperson (MAX-ATSP) problem. We introduce a new reduction method that produces strongly restricted instances of the Shortest Superstring problem, in which the maximal orbit size is eight (with no character appearing more than eight times) and all given strings having length four. Based on this reduction method, we are able to improve the best up to now known approximation lower bound for the Shortest Superstring problem and the Maximal Compression problem by an order of magnitude. The results imply also an improved approximation lower bound for the MAX-ATSP problem.
