Abstract
This work is to discuss the fault-tolerant facility location problem with submodular penalties. We propose an LP-rounding 2.27-approximation algorithm, where every demand point j has a requirement that \(t_{j}\) distinct facilities serve it. This is the first constant performance guarantee known for this problem. In addition, we give an LP-rounding 2-approximation algorithm for the case where all requirements are the same.
期刊介绍:
The objective of Journal of Combinatorial Optimization is to advance and promote the theory and applications of combinatorial optimization, which is an area of research at the intersection of applied mathematics, computer science, and operations research and which overlaps with many other areas such as computation complexity, computational biology, VLSI design, communication networks, and management science. It includes complexity analysis and algorithm design for combinatorial optimization problems, numerical experiments and problem discovery with applications in science and engineering.
The Journal of Combinatorial Optimization publishes refereed papers dealing with all theoretical, computational and applied aspects of combinatorial optimization. It also publishes reviews of appropriate books and special issues of journals.
