摘要
在最小功率网络设计问题中,我们给定了一个无向图 G=(V,E),其边成本为 {ce:e∈E}。目标是找到满足最小功率 pc(F)=∑v∈Vmax{ce:e∈F is incident to v} 的规定属性的边集 F⊆E。在最小功率 k 边相邻 st 路径问题中,F 应包含 k 边相邻 st 路径。对于简单图,甚至对于单位成本,如何实现近似率亚线性于 k 是一个悬而未决的问题。我们给出了针对一般成本的 22k 近似算法。
A 22k-approximation algorithm for minimum power k edge disjoint st-paths
In minimum power network design problems we are given an undirected graph with edge costs . The goal is to find an edge set that satisfies a prescribed property of minimum power . In the Min-PowerkEdge Disjointst-Paths problem F should contain k edge disjoint st-paths. The problem admits a k-approximation algorithm, and it was an open question to achieve an approximation ratio sublinear in k for simple graphs, even for unit costs. We give a -approximation algorithm for general costs.
期刊介绍:
Information Processing Letters invites submission of original research articles that focus on fundamental aspects of information processing and computing. This naturally includes work in the broadly understood field of theoretical computer science; although papers in all areas of scientific inquiry will be given consideration, provided that they describe research contributions credibly motivated by applications to computing and involve rigorous methodology. High quality experimental papers that address topics of sufficiently broad interest may also be considered.
Since its inception in 1971, Information Processing Letters has served as a forum for timely dissemination of short, concise and focused research contributions. Continuing with this tradition, and to expedite the reviewing process, manuscripts are generally limited in length to nine pages when they appear in print.
