随机序模型下在线顶点加权二部匹配算法RANKING的改进分析

Improved Analysis of RANKING for Online Vertex-Weighted Bipartite Matching in the Random Order Model

Billy Jin, David P. Williamson

摘要:

本文研究了随机到达模型下的在线顶点加权二部匹配问题。我们考虑由Huang,Tang,Wu和Zhang(TALG 2019)引入的针对该问题的RANK算法的推广,他们表明他们的算法具有0.6534的竞争比。我们表明,在他们的分析假设可以被削弱,使我们能够取代他们的一个关键功能$g$上的单位平方与线性规划,计算一个最好的可能的值$g$在这些假设下的离散单位平方的推导。我们表明,离散化不会产生太大的误差,并显示计算,我们可以得到一个竞争比为0.6629。为了计算离散化单位平方上的边界,我们使用并行化,并且仍然需要在64核机器上进行两天的计算。此外,通过稍微修改我们的线性程序,我们可以在计算上显示我们的方法的上限为0.6688;任何超过这个界限的进一步进展将需要进一步削弱$g$的假设或比Huang等人更强的分析。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we consider the online vertex-weighted bipartite matching problem in the random arrival model. We consider the generalization of the RANKING algorithm for this problem introduced by Huang, Tang, Wu, and Zhang (TALG 2019), who show that their algorithm has a competitive ratio of 0.6534. We show that assumptions in their analysis can be weakened, allowing us to replace their derivation of a crucial function $g$ on the unit square with a linear program that computes the values of a best possible $g$ under these assumptions on a discretized unit square. We show that the discretization does not incur much error, and show computationally that we can obtain a competitive ratio of 0.6629. To compute the bound over our discretized unit square we use parallelization, and still needed two days of computing on a 64-core machine. Furthermore, by modifying our linear program somewhat, we can show computationally an upper bound on our approach of 0.6688; any further progress beyond this bound will require either further weakening in the assumptions of $g$ or a stronger analysis than that of Huang et al.
