Geometric Rounding: A Dependent Rounding Scheme for Allocation Problems
This paper presents a general technique to develop approximation algorithms for allocation problems with integral assignment constraints. The core of the method is a randomized dependent rounding scheme, called geometric rounding, which yields termwise rounding ratios (in expectation), while emphasizing the strong correlation between events. We further explore the intrinsic geometric structure ...
متن کاملRounding algorithms for covering problems
In the last 25 years approximation algorithms for discrete optimization problems have been in the center of research in the fields of mathematical programming and computer science. Recent results from computer science have identified barriers to the degree of approximability of discrete optimization problems unless P -NP. As a result, as far as negative results are concerned a unifying picture ...
متن کاملMultistage Lot Sizing Problems via Randomized Rounding
We study the classical multistage lot sizing problem that arises in distribution and inventory systems. A celebrated result in this area is the 94% and 98% approximation guarantee provided by power-of-two policies. In this paper, we propose a simple randomized rounding algorithm to establish these performance bounds. We use this new technique to extend several results for the capacitated lot si...
متن کاملIterative Rounding for Multi-Objective Optimization Problems
In this paper we show that iterative rounding is a powerful and flexible tool in the design of approximation algorithms for multiobjective optimization problems. We illustrate that by considering the multi-objective versions of three basic optimization problems: spanning tree, matroid basis and matching in bipartite graphs. Here, besides the standard weight function, we are given k length funct...
متن کاملHybrid Rounding Techniques for Knapsack Problems
We address the classical knapsack problem and a variant in which an upper bound is imposed on the number of items that can be selected. We show that appropriate combinations of rounding techniques yield novel and powerful ways of rounding. As an application of these techniques, we present a linear-storage Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme (PTAS) and a Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Sche...
