$\ell_p$ -范数多向割

$\ell_p$-norm Multiway Cut

Karthekeyan Chandrasekaran, Weihang Wang

摘要:

我们介绍和研究$\ell_p$ -norm-multiway-cut:这里的输入是一个无向图,非负边权重以及$k$终端,目标是找到一个分区的顶点集$k$部分,每个部分包含恰好一个终端,以最小化的$\ell_p$ -范数的切割值的部分。这是最小和多路割(当$p=1$)和最小最大多路割(当$p=\infty$)的统一推广,这两个问题都是图划分文献中研究得很好的经典问题。我们证明了$\ell_p$ -norm-multiway-cut在终端数为常数时是NP-难的,在平面图中也是NP-难的。在算法方面,我们设计了一个$O(\log^2 n)$ -近似的所有$p\ge 1$。我们还证明了自然凸规划的$Ω(k^{1-1/p})$的完整性缺口和对任意常数$ε>0$的$O(k^{1-1/p-ε})$ -不可逼近性假设的小集合扩张假设。

英文摘要:

We introduce and study $\ell_p$-norm-multiway-cut: the input here is an undirected graph with non-negative edge weights along with $k$ terminals and the goal is to find a partition of the vertex set into $k$ parts each containing exactly one terminal so as to minimize the $\ell_p$-norm of the cut values of the parts. This is a unified generalization of min-sum multiway cut (when $p=1$) and min-max multiway cut (when $p=\infty$), both of which are well-studied classic problems in the graph partitioning literature. We show that $\ell_p$-norm-multiway-cut is NP-hard for constant number of terminals and is NP-hard in planar graphs. On the algorithmic side, we design an $O(\log^2 n)$-approximation for all $p\ge 1$. We also show an integrality gap of $Ω(k^{1-1/p})$ for a natural convex program and an $O(k^{1-1/p-ε})$-inapproximability for any constant $ε>0$ assuming the small set expansion hypothesis.
