k-次模函数极大化的改进近似算法

Improved Approximation Algorithms for k-Submodular Function Maximization

Satoru Iwata, Shin-ichi Tanigawa, Yuichi Yoshida

摘要:

本文提出了一个多项式时间的$1/2$ -近似算法,用于极大化非负$k$ -子模函数。这改进了Ward和Krivnoun ~(SODA'14)的$\max\{1/3, 1/(1+a)\}$近似,其中$a=\max\{1, \sqrt{(k-1)/4}\}$ .我们还表明,单调$k$ -次模函数有一个多项式时间$k/(2k-1)$ -近似算法,而任何$\varepsilon>0$一个$((k+1)/2k+\varepsilon)$ -近似算法最大化单调$k$ -次模函数将需要指数许多查询。特别是,我们的硬度结果意味着我们的算法是渐近紧。我们还扩展的方法,以提供常数因子近似算法最大化的斜bisundummodular功能,这是最近推出的bisundummodular功能的推广。

英文摘要:

This paper presents a polynomial-time $1/2$-approximation algorithm for maximizing nonnegative $k$-submodular functions. This improves upon the previous $\max\{1/3, 1/(1+a)\}$-approximation by Ward and Živný~(SODA'14), where $a=\max\{1, \sqrt{(k-1)/4}\}$. We also show that for monotone $k$-submodular functions there is a polynomial-time $k/(2k-1)$-approximation algorithm while for any $\varepsilon>0$ a $((k+1)/2k+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm for maximizing monotone $k$-submodular functions would require exponentially many queries. In particular, our hardness result implies that our algorithms are asymptotically tight. We also extend the approach to provide constant factor approximation algorithms for maximizing skew-bisubmodular functions, which were recently introduced as generalizations of bisubmodular functions.
