(6 + ε)-Approximation for Minimum Weight Dominating Set in Unit Disk Graphs

چکیده
It was a long-standing open problem whether the minimum weight dominating set in unit disk graphs has a polynomial-time constant-approximation. In 2006, Ambühl et al solved this problem by presenting a 72-approximation for the minimum weight dominating set and also a 89-approximation for the minimum weight connected dominating set in unit disk graphs. In this paper, we improve their results by giving a (6 + ε)-approximation for the minimum weight dominating set and a (10 + ε)-approximation for the minimum weight connected dominating set in unit disk graphs where ε is any small positive number.

Node-weighted Steiner tree approximation in unit disk graphs
Given a graph G = (V ,E) with node weight w : V → R+ and a subset S ⊆ V , find a minimum total weight tree interconnecting all nodes in S. This is the node-weighted Steiner tree problem which will be studied in this paper. In general, this problem is NP-hard and cannot be approximated by a polynomial time algorithm with performance ratio a lnn for any 0 < a < 1 unless NP ⊆ DTIME(nO(logn)), wher...
متن کاملA PTAS for the Minimum Dominating Set Problem in Unit Disk Graphs
We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum dominating set problem in unit disk graphs. In contrast to previously known approximation schemes for the minimum dominating set problem on unit disk graphs, our approach does not assume a geometric representation of the vertices (specifying the positions of the disks in the plane) to be given as part of the input. The alg...
متن کاملA PTAS for Node-Weighted Steiner Tree in Unit Disk Graphs
The node-weighted Steiner tree problem is a variation of classical Steiner minimum tree problem. Given a graph G = (V,E) with node weight function C : V → R and a subset X of V , the node-weighted Steiner tree problem is to find a Steiner tree for the set X such that its total weight is minimum. In this paper, we study this problem in unit disk graphs and present a (1+ε)-approximation algorithm...
متن کاملNew approximations for minimum-weighted dominating sets and minimum-weighted connected dominating sets on unit disk graphs
Given a node-weighted graph, the minimum-weighted dominating set (MWDS) problem is to find a minimum-weighted vertex subset such that, for any vertex, it is contained in this subset or it has a neighbor contained in this set. And the minimum-weighted connected dominating set (MWCDS) problem is to find a MWDS such that the graph induced by this subset is connected. In this paper, we study these ...
متن کاملLinear-Time Approximation Algorithms for Unit Disk Graphs
Numerous approximation algorithms for unit disk graphs have been proposed in the literature, exhibiting sharp trade-offs between running times and approximation ratios. We propose a method to obtain linear-time approximation algorithms for unit disk graph problems. Our method yields linear-time (4 + ε)-approximations to the maximum-weight independent set and the minimum dominating set, as well ...
