随机点上组合优化问题期望值的逼近

Approximating the Expected Values for Combinatorial Optimization Problems over Stochastic Points

Lingxiao Huang, Jian Li

摘要:

考虑随机几何模型,其中每个节点的位置是给定度量空间中的随机点,或者每个节点的存在是不确定的。本文研究了随机点上的几个组合优化或几何优化问题的期望长度的计算问题,包括最近对、最小生成树、$k$ -聚类、最小完美匹配和最小圈覆盖。我们还考虑了估计最接近对的长度或直径至多或至少是给定阈值的概率的问题。上述问题中的大多数已知是$\sharpP$ -难的。我们得到FPRAS(完全多项式随机逼近方案)的存在和位置不确定性模型中的大多数。我们的随机最小生成树的位置不确定模型的结果改进了以前已知的常数因子近似算法。我们对其他问题的结果是我们所知的第一个。

英文摘要:

We consider the stochastic geometry model where the location of each node is a random point in a given metric space, or the existence of each node is uncertain. We study the problems of computing the expected lengths of several combinatorial or geometric optimization problems over stochastic points, including closest pair, minimum spanning tree, $k$-clustering, minimum perfect matching, and minimum cycle cover. We also consider the problem of estimating the probability that the length of closest pair, or the diameter, is at most, or at least, a given threshold. Most of the above problems are known to be $\sharpP$-hard. We obtain FPRAS (Fully Polynomial Randomized Approximation Scheme) for most of them in both the existential and locational uncertainty models. Our result for stochastic minimum spanning trees in the locational uncertain model improves upon the previously known constant factor approximation algorithm. Our results for other problems are the first known to the best of our knowledge.
