有向Steiner树和Lasserre层次

Directed Steiner Tree and the Lasserre Hierarchy

Thomas Rothvoß

摘要:

有向斯坦纳树问题的目标是在有向图G=(V,E)中找到一棵最小代价树,该树将所有终端X连接到给定的根r。众所周知,模对数因子足以考虑节点以L <= log |X|水平排列的非循环图。不幸的是,天然LP制剂已经有5个水平的|X| ^(1/2)完整性缺口。我们证明了对于每个L,该LP的O(L)轮Lasserre加强具有完整性间隙O(Llog |X|).这提供了多项式时间|X| ^{n}近似和O(n^{log |X|)时间的O(log^3 |X|)近似,匹配由Charikar等人的贪心算法获得的最佳已知近似保证。

英文摘要:

The goal for the Directed Steiner Tree problem is to find a minimum cost tree in a directed graph G=(V,E) that connects all terminals X to a given root r. It is well known that modulo a logarithmic factor it suffices to consider acyclic graphs where the nodes are arranged in L <= log |X| levels. Unfortunately the natural LP formulation has a |X|^(1/2) integrality gap already for 5 levels. We show that for every L, the O(L)-round Lasserre Strengthening of this LP has integrality gap O(L log |X|). This provides a polynomial time |X|^{epsilon}-approximation and a O(log^3 |X|) approximation in O(n^{log |X|) time, matching the best known approximation guarantee obtained by a greedy algorithm of Charikar et al.
