Abstract
We study the non-submodular maximization problem, in which the objective function is characterized by parameters, subject to a cardinality or \(p\)-system constraint. By adapting the Threshold-Greedy algorithm for the submodular maximization, we present two deterministic algorithms for approximately solving the non-submodular maximization problem. Our analysis shows that the algorithms we propose requires much less function evaluations than existing algorithms, while providing comparable approximation guarantees. Moreover, numerical experiment results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis. Our results not only fill a gap in the (non-)submodular maximization, but also generalize and improve several existing results on closely related optimization problems.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
