LP-Based Algorithms For Capacitated Facility Location

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Hyung Chan An

Linear programming (LP) has played a key role in the study of algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. In the field of approximation algorithms, this is well illustrated by the uncapacitated facility location problem. A variety of algorithmic me ...

Strengths and Limitations of Linear Programming Relaxations

Abbas Bazzi

Many of the currently best-known approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems are based on Linear Programming (LP) and Semi-definite Programming (SDP) relaxations. Given its power, this class of algorithms seems to contain the most favourable ...

Approximation algorithms for geometric dispersion

Alfonso Bolívar Cevallos Manzano

The most basic form of the max-sum dispersion problem (MSD) is as follows: given n points in R^q and an integer k, select a set of k points such that the sum of the pairwise distances within the set is maximal. This is a prominent diversity problem, with w ...

Quasi-Polynomial Local Search for Restricted Max-Min Fair Allocation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Lukas Polacek

The restricted max-min fair allocation problem (also known as the restricted Santa Claus problem) is one of few problems that enjoys the intriguing status of having a better estimation algorithm than approximation algorithm. Indeed, Asadpour et al. [2012] ...

Centrality of trees for capacitated -center

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Hyung Chan An, Aditya Bhaskara

We consider the capacitated -center problem. In this problem we are given a finite set of locations in a metric space and each location has an associated non-negative integer capacity. The goal is to choose (open) locations (called centers) and assign each ...

On the configuration LP for maximum budgeted allocation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Christos Kalaitzis, Lukas Polacek, Aleksander Madry

We study the maximum budgeted allocation problem, i.e., the problem of selling a set of m indivisible goods to n players, each with a separate budget, such that we maximize the collected revenue. Since the natural assignment LP is known to have an integral ...

Strong LP formulations for scheduling splittable jobs on unrelated machines

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

A natural extension of the makespan minimization problem on unrelated machines is to allow jobs to be partially processed by different machines while incurring an arbitrary setup time. In this paper we present increasingly stronger LP-relaxations for this ...

Node-weighted network design and maximum sub-determinants

Carsten Moldenhauer

We consider the Node-weighted Steiner Forest problem on planar graphs. Demaine et al. showed that a generic primal-dual algorithm gives a 6-approximation. We present two different proofs of an approximation factor of~

Approximation algorithms for regret minimization in vehicle routing problems

Adrian Aloysius Bock

In this thesis, we present new approximation algorithms as well as hardness of approximation results for NP-hard vehicle routing problems related to public transportation. We consider two different problem classes that also occur frequently in areas such a ...
