两个欧氏k-中心变量的改进近似算法

Improved approximation algorithms for two Euclidean k-Center variants

Haris Angelidakis, Ivan Sergeev, Pontus Westermark

摘要:

$k$ -中心问题是最流行的聚类问题之一。经过几十年的工作,它的大多数变种的复杂性一般指标现在已经很好地理解。令人惊讶的是,对于在实践中经常出现的自然设置,即欧几里得设置,情况并非如此,在欧几里得设置中,输入点是$\mathbb{R}^d$中的点,并且它们之间的距离是标准的$\ell_2$欧几里得距离。在这项工作中,我们研究了两个欧几里德$k$ -中心的变种,拟阵中心问题的真正的线和鲁棒欧几里德$k$ -供应商的问题,并提供算法,提高已知的最佳近似保证这些问题。特别是,我们提出了一个简单的$2.5$ -近似算法,用于实数线上的拟阵中心问题,从而改进了Chen,Li,Liang和Wang(2016)的$3$ -近似因子算法,适用于一般度量。此外,我们提出了鲁棒欧氏$k$ -Supplier问题的$(1 + \sqrt{3})$ -近似算法,从而改进了鲁棒$k$ -Supplier的最新$3$ -近似算法,并匹配了Nagarajan,Schieber和Shachnai(2020)已知的非鲁棒设置的最佳近似因子。

英文摘要:

The $k$-Center problem is one of the most popular clustering problems. After decades of work, the complexity of most of its variants on general metrics is now well understood. Surprisingly, this is not the case for a natural setting that often arises in practice, namely the Euclidean setting, in which the input points are points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and the distance between them is the standard $\ell_2$ Euclidean distance. In this work, we study two Euclidean $k$-Center variants, the Matroid Center problem on the real line and the Robust Euclidean $k$-Supplier problem, and provide algorithms that improve upon the best approximation guarantees known for these problems. In particular, we present a simple $2.5$-approximation algorithm for the Matroid Center problem on the real line, thus improving upon the $3$-approximation factor algorithm of Chen, Li, Liang, and Wang (2016) that works for general metrics. Moreover, we present a $(1 + \sqrt{3})$-approximation algorithm for the Robust Euclidean $k$-Supplier problem, thus improving upon the state-of-the-art $3$-approximation algorithm for Robust $k$-Supplier on general metrics and matching the best approximation factor known for the non-robust setting by Nagarajan, Schieber and Shachnai (2020).
