An improved approximation ratio for the minimum linear arrangement problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We observe that combining the techniques of Arora, Rao, and Vazirani, with the rounding algorithm of Rao and Richa yields an O( √ log n log log n)-approximation for the minimum-linear arrangement problem. This improves over the O(log n)-approximation of Rao and Richa.

Minimum Linear Arrangement of Series-Parallel Graphs
We present a factor 14D approximation algorithm for the minimum linear arrangement problem on series-parallel graphs, where D is the maximum degree in the graph. Given a suitable decomposition of the graph, our algorithm runs in time O(|E|) and is very easy to implement. Its divide-andconquer approach allows for an effective parallelization. Note that a suitable decomposition can also be comput...
متن کاملApproximating Minimum Linear Ordering Problems
This paper addresses the Minimum Linear Ordering Problem (MLOP): Given a nonnegative set function f on a finite set V , find a linear ordering on V such that the sum of the function values for all the suffixes is minimized. This problem generalizes well-known problems such as the Minimum Linear Arrangement, Min Sum Set Cover, Minimum Latency Set Cover, and Multiple Intents Ranking. Extending a ...
متن کاملMinimum Cut Linear Arrangement of p-q Dags for VLSI Layout of Adder Trees
Two algorithms for minimum cut linear arrangement of a class of graphs called p-q dags are proposed. A p-q dag represents the connection scheme of an adder tree, such as Wallace tree, and the VLSI layout problem of a bit slice of an adder tree is treated as the minimum cut linear arrangement problem of its corresponding p-q dag. One of the two algorithms is based on dynamic programming. It calc...
متن کاملAn improved pseudospectral approximation of generalized Burger-Huxley and Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations
In this research paper, an improved Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto pseudospectral approximation of nonlinear Burger-Huxley and Fitzhugh- Nagumo equations have been presented. The method employs chebyshev Gauss-Labatto points in time and space to obtain spectral accuracy. The mapping has introduced and transformed the initial-boundary value non-homogeneous problem to homogeneous problem. The main probl...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Maximum Linear Arrangement
The generalized maximum linear arrangement problem is to compute for a given vector x 2 IR n and an n n non-negative symmetric matrix W = (w i;j), a permutation of f1; :::; ng that maximizes P i;j w i ;; j jx j ? x i j. We present a fast 1 3-approximation algorithm for the problem. We present a randomized approximation algorithm with a better performance guarantee for the special case where x i...
