限制型最大最小公平分配配置LP的完整性间隙

Integrality Gap of the Configuration LP for the Restricted Max-Min Fair Allocation

Siu-Wing Cheng, Yuchen Mao

摘要:

最大-最小公平分配问题寻求一种分配资源给参与者的方法,使任何参与者获得的最小总价值最大化。每个参与者$p$在资源$r$上具有非负值$v_{pr}$。在受限情况下,我们有$v_{pr}\in \{v_r, 0\}$。也就是说,资源$r$对于需要它的玩家来说值为$v_r$,而对于其他玩家来说值为0。在本文中,我们考虑配置LP,一个线性规划松弛的限制问题。配置LP的完整性间隙至少为$2$。Asadpour、Feige和Saberi证明了$4$的一个上界。我们利用配置LP的对偶将上界改进为$23/6$。由于配置LP可以解决任何所需的精度$δ$在多项式时间,我们的结果导致多项式时间算法估计的最佳值内的一个因素$23/6+δ$。

英文摘要:

The max-min fair allocation problem seeks an allocation of resources to players that maximizes the minimum total value obtained by any player. Each player $p$ has a non-negative value $v_{pr}$ on resource $r$. In the restricted case, we have $v_{pr}\in \{v_r, 0\}$. That is, a resource $r$ is worth value $v_r$ for the players who desire it and value 0 for the other players. In this paper, we consider the configuration LP, a linear programming relaxation for the restricted problem. The integrality gap of the configuration LP is at least $2$. Asadpour, Feige, and Saberi proved an upper bound of $4$. We improve the upper bound to $23/6$ using the dual of the configuration LP. Since the configuration LP can be solved to any desired accuracy $δ$ in polynomial time, our result leads to a polynomial-time algorithm which estimates the optimal value within a factor of $23/6+δ$.
