树上$r$ -聚集问题的PTAS和精确算法

PTAS and Exact Algorithms for $r$-Gathering Problems on Tree

Soh Kumabe, Takanori Maehara

摘要:

R-聚集问题是设施选址问题的一个变种。在这个问题中,我们给定一组用户和一组设施在同一度量空间上。我们打开一些设施,并将每个用户分配给一个打开的设施,这样至少有r个用户被分配给每个打开的设施。我们的目标是最大限度地减少用户和指定设施之间的距离。一般来说,这个问题是NP-难的,并承认一个近似算法与因子3。已知该问题不允许因子小于3的任何近似算法。在我们的另一篇论文中,我们证明了这个问题是NP-困难的,即使在蜘蛛,这是树度量的一个特殊情况。本文主要研究树上的问题。首先,我们给出了树上r-聚集问题的PTAS。此外,我们还给出了树上问题的几种变形的PTAS,也给出了树上r-聚集问题的另一种变形的多项式时间精确算法。

英文摘要:

r-gathering problem is a variant of facility location problems. In this problem, we are given a set of users and a set of facilities on same metric space. We open some of the facilities and assign each user to an open facility, so that at least r users are assigned to every open facility. We aim to minimize the maximum distance between user and assigned facility. In general, this problem is NP-hard and admit an approximation algorithm with factor 3. It is known that the problem does not admit any approximation algorithm within a factor less than 3. In our another paper, we proved that this problem is NP-hard even on spider, which is a special case of tree metric. In this paper, we concentrate on the problems on a tree. First, we give a PTAS for r-gathering problem on a tree. Furthermore, we give PTAS for some variants of the problems on a tree, and also give exact polynomial-time algorithms for another variants of r-gathering problem on a tree.
