基于迭代随机舍入的节点连通性增强

Node Connectivity Augmentation via Iterative Randomized Rounding

Haris Angelidakis, Dylan Hyatt-Denesik, Laura Sanità

摘要:

许多网络设计问题都涉及到低成本网络的设计,这些网络对节点或链路等元件的故障具有弹性。一个这样的问题是连通性增强,其目标是将网络的连通性从值k增加到k+1。研究最多的设置集中在边连通性上,它减少到k=2,称为仙人掌增强。从近似的角度来看,Byrka,Grandoni和Jabal Ameli(2020)是第一个打破这个问题的2-近似障碍的人,通过利用与Steiner树问题的联系,并通过对Steiner树的迭代随机舍入技术的分析进行定制,以适应这种联系产生的特定情况。最近,Nutov(2020)观察到,对于称为块树增强的节点连接问题,与Steiner树类似的简化也成立,其中目标是向给定的生成树添加边,以便生成的图2-节点连接。将Nutov的结果与Byrka、Grandoni和Jabal Ameli的算法相结合,得到块树扩充的1.91近似值,这是迄今为止已知的最佳界。本文给出了一个1.892-近似算法,用于将任意图的节点连通度从1扩充到2。作为推论,我们改进了最先进的块树增强的近似因子。我们的结果是通过开发一个不同的和更简单的分析迭代随机舍入技术。我们的结果也暗示了一个1.892-近似算法的仙人掌增强。虽然这并没有击败Cecchetto,Traub和Zenklusen(2021)在这个问题上的最佳近似,但与文献中以前的结果相比,我们的分析非常简单。此外,我们的工作提供了新的见解迭代随机舍入方法,这可能是独立的利益。

英文摘要:

Many network design problems deal with the design of low-cost networks that are resilient to the failure of their elements, such as nodes or links. One such problem is Connectivity Augmentation, where the goal is to cheaply increase the connectivity of a network from a value k to k+1. The most studied setting focuses on edge-connectivity, which reduces to k=2, called Cactus Augmentation. From an approximation perspective, Byrka, Grandoni, and Jabal Ameli (2020) were the first to break the 2-approximation barrier for this problem, by exploiting a connection to the Steiner Tree problem, and by tailoring the analysis of the iterative randomized rounding technique for Steiner Tree to the specific instances arising from this connection. Recently, Nutov (2020) observed that a similar reduction to Steiner Tree holds for a node-connectivity problem called Block-Tree Augmentation, where the goal is to add edges to a given spanning tree so that the resulting graph 2-node-connected. Combining Nutov's result with the algorithm of Byrka, Grandoni, and Jabal Ameli yields a 1.91-approximation for Block-Tree Augmentation, that is the best bound known so far. In this work, we give a 1.892-approximation algorithm for the problem of augmenting the node-connectivity of any graph from 1 to 2. As a corollary, we improve upon the state-of-the-art approximation factor for Block-Tree Augmentation. Our result is obtained by developing a different and simpler analysis of the iterative randomized rounding technique. Our results also imply a 1.892-approximation algorithm for Cactus Augmentation. While this does not beat the best approximation by Cecchetto, Traub, and Zenklusen (2021) known for this problem, our analysis is quite simple compared to previous results in the literature. In addition, our work gives new insights on the iterative randomized rounding method, that might be of independent interest.
