摘要:

提出了一个时间最优的确定性分布式算法,用于逼近秩为$f$的超图的最小权顶点覆盖。该问题等价于最小权集覆盖问题,其中每个元素的频率由$f$限定。我们的算法的近似因子是$(f+ε)$。令$Δ$表示超图中的最大度。我们的算法在CONGEST模型中运行,需要$O(\logΔ / \log \log Δ)$轮,用于常数$ε\in (0,1]$和$f\in\mathbb N^+$。这是该问题的第一个分布式算法,其运行时间不依赖于顶点权重或顶点数。从而为\emph{provably optimal}分布式算法的专有家族增加了另一个成员。对于$f$和$ε$的常数值,我们的算法改进了\cite{KuhnMW06}的$(f+ε)$ -近似算法,其运行时间为$O(\log Δ+ \log W)$,其中$W$是图中最大和最小顶点权重之间的比率。

英文摘要:

We present a time-optimal deterministic distributed algorithm for approximating a minimum weight vertex cover in hypergraphs of rank $f$. This problem is equivalent to the Minimum Weight Set Cover Problem in which the frequency of every element is bounded by $f$. The approximation factor of our algorithm is $(f+ε)$. Let $Δ$ denote the maximum degree in the hypergraph. Our algorithm runs in the CONGEST model and requires $O(\logΔ / \log \log Δ)$ rounds, for constants $ε\in (0,1]$ and $f\in\mathbb N^+$. This is the first distributed algorithm for this problem whose running time does not depend on the vertex weights or the number of vertices. Thus adding another member to the exclusive family of \emph{provably optimal} distributed algorithms. For constant values of $f$ and $ε$, our algorithm improves over the $(f+ε)$-approximation algorithm of \cite{KuhnMW06} whose running time is $O(\log Δ+ \log W)$, where $W$ is the ratio between the largest and smallest vertex weights in the graph.
