AI总结:
该研究针对弱子模函数最大化问题,发现标准贪心算法在基数约束下表现良好,但对一般拟阵约束无法给出常数近似,还构造了反例验证这一结论。
AI中文摘要:
我们研究利用标准贪心算法近似最大化弱子模函数的问题,已知该算法在基数约束下对此类函数能给出紧近似结果。我们证明对于一般拟阵约束,情况并非如此:对任意γ<1,存在一族γ-弱子模函数和一个简单的划分拟阵约束,表明标准贪心算法对该带约束的最大化问题无法给出常数近似。
英文摘要:
We consider the problem of approximately maximizing a weakly submodular function using the standard greedy algorithm, which is known to give tight approximation results for such functions under a cardinality constraint. We show that this is not the case for general matroid constraints. For any $γ< 1$, we give a family of $γ$-weakly submodular functions and a simple partition matroid constraint and show that the standard greedy algorithm provides no constant approximation for the resulting constrained maximization problem.
