约束圣诞老人问题的多项式时间12-近似算法

A polynomial time 12-approximation algorithm for restricted Santa Claus problem

S Anil Kumar, N S Narayanaswamy

摘要:

本文考虑了问题的约束条件,利用线性规划和半定规划给出了一个多项式时间的12-近似算法,改进了现有的最佳逼近比。我们的算法从求解配置LP开始,并使用最佳值来获得12个间隙的实例。接着是众所周知的Bansal和Sviridenko的聚类技术\cite{bansal}。然后,我们应用Asadpour \textit{et al.} \cite{AFS,AFS2}的分析表明,集群实例具有整数解,该整数解至少是通过求解配置LP计算的最佳可能值的$\frac{1}{6}$倍。为了找到这个解决方案,我们制定了一个问题,称为扩展分配问题,并将其制定为LP。然后,我们表明,相关的多面体是积分,并给我们一个分数的解决方案的价值至少$\frac{1}{6}$倍的最佳。从这个解决方案中,我们找到一个解决方案,我们引入一个新的二次规划,从每个集群中选择一台机器,然后我们表明,由此产生的实例有一个分配LP分数的解决方案的价值至少$\frac{1}{6}$倍的最佳。然后,我们使用众所周知的舍入技术,由于Bezakova和Dani \cite{bezakova}的12间隙的情况下,得到我们的12近似的解决方案。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we consider the restricted case of the problem and improve the current best approximation ratio by presenting a polynomial time 12-approximation algorithm using linear programming and semi-definite programming. Our algorithm starts by solving the configuration LP and uses the optimum value to get a 12-gap instance. This is then followed by the well-known clustering technique of Bansal and Sviridenko\cite{bansal}. We then apply the analysis of Asadpour \textit{et al.} \cite{AFS,AFS2} to show that the clustered instance has an integer solution which is at least $\frac{1}{6}$ times the best possible value, which was computed by solving the configuration LP. To find this solution, we formulate a problem called the Extended Assignment Problem, and formulate it as an LP. We then, show that the associated polytope is integral and gives us an fractional solution of value at least $\frac{1}{6}$ times the optimum. From this solution we find a solution to a new quadratic program that we introduce to select one machine from each cluster, and then we show that the resulting instance has an Assignment LP fractional solution of value at least $\frac{1}{6}$ times the optimum. We then use the well known rounding technique due to Bezakova and Dani \cite{bezakova} on the 12-gap instance to get our 12-approximate solution.
