节点加权奖励收集Steiner树的LMP O(log n)-近似算法

An LMP O(log n)-Approximation Algorithm for Node Weighted Prize Collecting Steiner Tree

Jochen Könemann, Sina Sadeghian, Laura Sanità

摘要:

在节点加权奖励收集Steiner树问题(NW-PCST)中,我们给出了一个无向图$G=(V,E)$,每个$v \in V$的非负代价$c(v)$和惩罚$π(v)$.目标是找到一棵树$T$,该树使$T$跨越的顶点的总成本加上不在$T$中的顶点的总惩罚最小化。这个问题是众所周知的集合覆盖难以近似。Moss和Rabani(STOC'01)提出了一种求解该问题的保原-对偶拉格朗日乘子的$O(\ln |V|)$ -近似算法。我们展示了一个严重的问题,该算法,并提出了一个新的,根本不同的原始对偶方法实现相同的性能保证。我们的算法引入了几个新的功能的原始-对偶方法,可能是独立的利益。

英文摘要:

In the node-weighted prize-collecting Steiner tree problem (NW-PCST) we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, non-negative costs $c(v)$ and penalties $π(v)$ for each $v \in V$. The goal is to find a tree $T$ that minimizes the total cost of the vertices spanned by $T$ plus the total penalty of vertices not in $T$. This problem is well-known to be set-cover hard to approximate. Moss and Rabani (STOC'01) presented a primal-dual Lagrangean-multiplier-preserving $O(\ln |V|)$-approximation algorithm for this problem. We show a serious problem with the algorithm, and present a new, fundamentally different primal-dual method achieving the same performance guarantee. Our algorithm introduces several novel features to the primal-dual method that may be of independent interest.
