摘要:

我们研究了带有匹配的设施定位问题,这是一个设施定位问题,其中,给定额外信息,即哪些客户端对是兼容的,我们需要尽可能多地匹配客户端,并将每个匹配的客户端对分配到同一个开放设施,以最小化总成本。该问题由视频游戏或社交应用中的匹配服务引起。它自然扩展了两个著名的组合优化问题——无容量设施定位和最小成本最大匹配。带有匹配的设施定位也扩展了Kim、Shin和An(Algorithmica 2023)研究的Even-constrained设施定位问题。我们为该问题提出了一种线性规划(LP)松弛方法,并提出了一个3.868近似算法。我们的算法利用了双因子近似算法(Byrka和Aardal,SICOMP 2012)的工作;我们的主要技术贡献是一个重新路由子程序,它可以将分数解重新路由到一个固定的极大匹配上,仅需少量额外成本。对于所有客户端都被匹配的特殊情况,我们提供了一个改进的算法,其近似比为2.218。由于我们的算法基于对LP松弛最优解的舍入,这些近似结果也给出了松弛的整数规划间隙的相同上界。

英文摘要:

We study Facility Location with Matching, a Facility Location problem where, given additional information about which pair of clients is compatible to be matched, we need to match as many clients as possible and assign each matched client pair to a same open facility at minimum total cost. The problem is motivated by match-making services relevant in, for example, video games or social apps. It naturally generalizes two prominent combinatorial optimization problems -- Uncapacitated Facility Location and Minimum-cost Maximum Matching. Facility Location with Matching also generalizes the Even-constrained Facility Location problem studied by Kim, Shin, and An (Algorithmica 2023). We propose a linear programming (LP) relaxation for this problem, and present a 3.868-approximation algorithm. Our algorithm leverages the work on bifactor-approximation algorithms (Byrka and Aardal, SICOMP 2012); our main technical contribution is a rerouting subroutine that reroutes a fractional solution to be supported on a fixed maximum matching with only small additional cost. For a special case where all clients are matched, we provide a refined algorithm achieving an approximation ratio of 2.218. As our algorithms are based on rounding an optimal solution to the LP relaxation, these approximation results also give the same upper bounds on the integrality gap of the relaxation.
