无爪图中最大权独立集问题的改进近似算法

An Improved Approximation Algorithm for the Maximum Weight Independent Set Problem in d-Claw Free Graphs

Meike Neuwohner

摘要:

在本文中,我们考虑的任务,计算一个独立集的最大重量在一个给定的$d$ -爪自由图$G=(V,E)$配备了一个积极的重量功能$w:V\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^+$。在这样做时,$d\geq 2$被认为是一个常数。这个问题以前最著名的近似算法是由Berman提出的局部改进算法SquareImp。对于任何$ε>0$,它实现了$\frac{d}{2}+ε$在时间上的性能比$\mathcal{O}(|V(G)|^{d+1}\cdot(|V(G)|+|E(G)|)\cdot (d-1)^2\cdot \left(\frac{d}{2ε}+1\right)^2)$,这在过去的二十年里一直没有得到改进。通过考虑一个更广泛的类的局部改进,我们得到了一个近似比$\frac{d}{2}-\frac{1}{63,700,992}+ε$的任何$ε>0$在运行时间的一个额外的因素$\mathcal{O}(|V(G)|^{(d-1)^2})$的成本。特别是,我们的结果意味着一个多项式时间的$\frac{d}{2}$近似算法。此外,从加权$k$ -集合装箱问题到$k+1$ -无爪图中的最大权独立集问题的著名约化,为任何$ε>0$的加权$k$ -集合装箱问题提供了一个$\frac{k+1}{2}-\frac{1}{63,700,992}+ε$ -近似算法.这改善了以前最好的已知近似保证$\frac{k+1}{2}+ε$源自Berman的结果。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we consider the task of computing an independent set of maximum weight in a given $d$-claw free graph $G=(V,E)$ equipped with a positive weight function $w:V\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^+$. In doing so, $d\geq 2$ is considered a constant. The previously best known approximation algorithm for this problem is the local improvement algorithm SquareImp proposed by Berman. It achieves a performance ratio of $\frac{d}{2}+ε$ in time $\mathcal{O}(|V(G)|^{d+1}\cdot(|V(G)|+|E(G)|)\cdot (d-1)^2\cdot \left(\frac{d}{2ε}+1\right)^2)$ for any $ε>0$, which has remained unimproved for the last twenty years. By considering a broader class of local improvements, we obtain an approximation ratio of $\frac{d}{2}-\frac{1}{63,700,992}+ε$ for any $ε>0$ at the cost of an additional factor of $\mathcal{O}(|V(G)|^{(d-1)^2})$ in the running time. In particular, our result implies a polynomial time $\frac{d}{2}$-approximation algorithm. Furthermore, the well-known reduction from the weighted $k$-Set Packing Problem to the Maximum Weight Independent Set Problem in $k+1$-claw free graphs provides a $\frac{k+1}{2}-\frac{1}{63,700,992}+ε$-approximation algorithm for the weighted $k$-Set Packing Problem for any $ε>0$. This improves on the previously best known approximation guarantee of $\frac{k+1}{2}+ε$ originating from the result of Berman.
