极小权圈覆盖及其逼近性

Minimum-weight Cycle Covers and Their Approximability

Bodo Manthey

摘要:

一个图的圈覆盖是一组圈,使得每个顶点恰好是一个圈的一部分。L-圈覆盖是指每个圈的长度都在集合L中的圈覆盖。我们研究如何以及L-循环覆盖的最小重量可以近似。对于无向图,我们设计了一个多项式时间的近似算法,该算法对所有的集合L都达到一个常数的近似比。另一方面,我们证明了问题不能近似的因子为2-eps的某些集合L。对于有向图,我们提出了一个多项式时间的近似算法,达到了O(n)的近似比,其中$n$是顶点的数量。这是渐近最优的:我们证明了这个问题不能近似在一个因子O(n)内。为了对比最小权重的循环覆盖的结果,我们表明,计算最大权重的L-循环覆盖的问题,至少在原则上,可以任意近似。

英文摘要:

A cycle cover of a graph is a set of cycles such that every vertex is part of exactly one cycle. An L-cycle cover is a cycle cover in which the length of every cycle is in the set L. We investigate how well L-cycle covers of minimum weight can be approximated. For undirected graphs, we devise a polynomial-time approximation algorithm that achieves a constant approximation ratio for all sets L. On the other hand, we prove that the problem cannot be approximated within a factor of 2-eps for certain sets L. For directed graphs, we present a polynomial-time approximation algorithm that achieves an approximation ratio of O(n), where $n$ is the number of vertices. This is asymptotically optimal: We show that the problem cannot be approximated within a factor of o(n). To contrast the results for cycle covers of minimum weight, we show that the problem of computing L-cycle covers of maximum weight can, at least in principle, be approximated arbitrarily well.
