用单位正方形覆盖线段

Covering segments with unit squares

Ankush Acharyya, Subhas C. Nandy, Supantha Pandit, Sasanka Roy

摘要:

研究了$I\!\!R^2$中平行轴单位正方形线段覆盖问题的几种变形。给出了$n$线段的集合$S$。目标是找到覆盖每个线段至少一个端点的平行轴单位正方形的最小数量。变化取决于输入段的方向和长度。我们证明了其中一些问题是NP完全的,并给出了这些问题的常数因子近似算法。对于某些变体,我们有多项式时间精确算法。对于一般形式的问题,其中线段是任意长度和方向的,正方形是给定的输入,我们提出了一个基于多层线性规划松弛技术的因子16近似结果,这可能对解决其他问题有用.此外,我们证明了我们的问题与Arkin等人2015年研究的无冲突覆盖问题有关。我们的NP完全性结果比Arkin et al. 2015的结果更适用于简化类型的对象。

英文摘要:

We study several variations of line segment covering problem with axis-parallel unit squares in $I\!\!R^2$. A set $S$ of $n$ line segments is given. The objective is to find the minimum number of axis-parallel unit squares which cover at least one end-point of each segment. The variations depend on the orientation and length of the input segments. We prove some of these problems to be NP-complete, and give constant factor approximation algorithms for those problems. For some variations, we have polynomial time exact algorithms. For the general version of the problem, where the segments are of arbitrary length and orientation, and the squares are given as input, we propose a factor 16 approximation result based on multilevel linear programming relaxation technique, which may be useful for solving some other problems. Further, we show that our problems have connections with the problems studied by Arkin et al. 2015 on conflict-free covering problem. Our NP-completeness results hold for more simplified types of objects than those of Arkin et al. 2015.
