Approximation Schemes for Capacitated Geometric Network Design
We study a capacitated network design problem in geometric setting. We assume that the input consists of an integral link capacity k and two sets of points on a plane, sources and sinks, each source/sink having an associated integral demand (amount of flow to be shipped from/to). The capacitated geometric network design problem is to construct a minimum-length network N that allows to route the...
متن کاملA Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Unsplittable Capacitated Network Design
The Network Design Problem (NDP) is one of the important problems in combinatorial optimization. Among the network design problems, the Multicommodity Capacitated Network Design (MCND) problem has numerous applications in transportation, logistics, telecommunication, and production systems. The MCND problems with splittable flow variables are NP-hard, which means they require exponential time t...
متن کاملEfficient Approximation Schemes for Geometric Problems?
An EPTAS (efficient PTAS) is an approximation scheme where ǫ does not appear in the exponent of n, i.e., the running time is f(ǫ) ·n. We use parameterized complexity to investigate the possibility of improving the known approximation schemes for certain geometric problems to EPTAS. Answering an open question of Alber and Fiala [2], we show that Maximum Independent Set is W[1]-complete for the i...
متن کاملApproximation Schemes for Geometric Coverage Problems
In their seminal work, Mustafa and Ray [25] showed that a wide class of geometric set cover (SC) problems admit a PTAS via local search, which appears to be the most powerful approach known for such problems. Their result applies if a naturally defined “exchange graph” for two feasible solutions is planar and is based on subdividing this graph via a planar separator theorem due to Frederickson ...
متن کاملRandomized Approximation Schemes for Cuts and Flows in Capacitated Graphs
We improve on random sampling techniques for approximately solving problems that involve cuts and flows in graphs. We give a near-linear-time construction that transforms any graph on vertices into an -edge graph on the same vertices whose cuts have approximately the same value as the original graph’s. In this new graph, for example, we can run the -time maximum flow algorithm of Goldberg and...
