硬均匀容量约束k-中值问题的改进近似算法

An Improved Approximation Algorithm for the Hard Uniform Capacitated k-median Problem

Shanfei Li

摘要:

在$k$ -中位数问题中,给定一组位置,目标是选择至多$k$中心的子集,以使连接每个位置到其最近中心的总成本最小化。我们研究了均匀硬容量版本的$k$ -中位数问题,其中每个选定的中心只能服务于有限数量的位置。受Charikar,Guha,Tardos和Shmoys算法的启发,我们给出了一个$(6+10α)$ -近似算法,其容量增加了一个$2+\frac{2}α, α\geq 4$因子,改进了Byrka,Fleszar,Rybicki和Spoerhase提出的最佳$(32 l^2+28 l+7)$ -近似算法,其容量违反了$2+\frac{3}{l-1}, l\in \{2,3,4,\dots\}$因子.

英文摘要:

In the $k$-median problem, given a set of locations, the goal is to select a subset of at most $k$ centers so as to minimize the total cost of connecting each location to its nearest center. We study the uniform hard capacitated version of the $k$-median problem, in which each selected center can only serve a limited number of locations. Inspired by the algorithm of Charikar, Guha, Tardos and Shmoys, we give a $(6+10α)$-approximation algorithm for this problem with increasing the capacities by a factor of $2+\frac{2}α, α\geq 4$, which improves the previous best $(32 l^2+28 l+7)$-approximation algorithm proposed by Byrka, Fleszar, Rybicki and Spoerhase violating the capacities by factor $2+\frac{3}{l-1}, l\in \{2,3,4,\dots\}$.
