Choose Outsiders First:覆盖问题的平均2-近似随机算法
Choose Outsiders First: a mean 2-approximation random algorithm for covering problems
摘要:
大量的离散优化问题,包括顶点覆盖、集合覆盖或反馈顶点集,都可以统一到覆盖问题类中。其中一些被证明是不可近似的确定性算法。本文提出了一种新的随机方法,称为选择局外人第一,它包括随机选择的元素被排除在封面。我们表明,这种方法导致随机输出的平均大小是最优解的两倍。
英文摘要:
A high number of discrete optimization problems, including Vertex Cover, Set Cover or Feedback Vertex Set, can be unified into the class of covering problems. Several of them were shown to be inapproximable by deterministic algorithms. This article proposes a new random approach, called Choose Outsiders First, which consists in selecting randomly ele- ments which are excluded from the cover. We show that this approach leads to random outputs which mean size is at most twice the optimal solution.
