关于最小-最大延迟问题:NP完全性、算法和完整性缺口

On the Min-Max-Delay Problem: NP-completeness, Algorithm, and Integrality Gap

Qingyu Liu, Lei Deng, Haibo Zeng, Minghua Chen

摘要:

我们研究了一个延迟-敏感信息流问题,其中信源以固定的速率R通过有向图G(V,E)向信宿发送信息,可能使用多条路径来最小化最大端到端延迟,表示为Min-Max-Delay问题。在边缘上的传输在容量内引起恒定的延迟。我们证明了Min-Max-Delay是弱NP-完全的,并且证明了当我们需要整数流解时,它变成强NP-完全的。本文提出了一种最优的伪多项式时间算法,其时间复杂度为O(\log(Nd_{\max})(N^5 d_{\max} ^{2.5})(\log R+N^2 d_{\max} \log(N^2 d_{\max}),其中N = \max \{ |V|,|E| \},d_{\max}是最大边缘延迟.此外,我们证明了完整性差距,这是定义为最佳整数流的最大延迟的最佳分数流的最大延迟的比率,可以是任意大的。

英文摘要:

We study a delay-sensitive information flow problem where a source streams information to a sink over a directed graph G(V,E) at a fixed rate R possibly using multiple paths to minimize the maximum end-to-end delay, denoted as the Min-Max-Delay problem. Transmission over an edge incurs a constant delay within the capacity. We prove that Min-Max-Delay is weakly NP-complete, and demonstrate that it becomes strongly NP-complete if we require integer flow solution. We propose an optimal pseudo-polynomial time algorithm for Min-Max-Delay, with time complexity O(\log (Nd_{\max}) (N^5d_{\max}^{2.5})(\log R+N^2d_{\max}\log(N^2d_{\max}))), where N = \max\{|V|,|E|\} and d_{\max} is the maximum edge delay. Besides, we show that the integrality gap, which is defined as the ratio of the maximum delay of an optimal integer flow to the maximum delay of an optimal fractional flow, could be arbitrarily large.
