Seminar指派问题的紧逼近界

Tight Approximation Bounds for the Seminar Assignment Problem

Amotz Bar-Noy, George Rabanca

摘要:

研讨会分配问题是广义分配问题的一个变体,其中项目具有单位大小,并且每个bin中允许的空间量被限制为任意一组值。该问题已被证明是NP完全的,不允许PTAS。然而,迄今为止已知的唯一常数因子近似算法是随机的,并且不能保证总是产生可行解。在本文中,我们表明,一个自然的贪心算法输出一个解决方案的$(1 - e^{-1})$的最佳因素内的值,除非$NP\subseteq DTIME(n^{\log\log n})$,这是最好的近似保证实现任何多项式时间算法。

英文摘要:

The seminar assignment problem is a variant of the generalized assignment problem in which items have unit size and the amount of space allowed in each bin is restricted to an arbitrary set of values. The problem has been shown to be NP-complete and to not admit a PTAS. However, the only constant factor approximation algorithm known to date is randomized and it is not guaranteed to always produce a feasible solution. In this paper we show that a natural greedy algorithm outputs a solution with value within a factor of $(1 - e^{-1})$ of the optimal, and that unless $NP\subseteq DTIME(n^{\log\log n})$, this is the best approximation guarantee achievable by any polynomial time algorithm.
