Approximation schemes for the generalized geometric problems with geographic clustering

چکیده
This paper is concerned with polynomial time approximations schemes for the generalized geometric problems with geographic clustering. We illustrate the approach on the generalized traveling salesman problem which is also known as Group-TSP or TSP with neighborhoods. We prove that under the condition that all regions are non-intersecting and have comparable sizes and shapes, the problem admits PTAS. To derive a PTAS we extend the algorithm by Arora [2]. This extension involves the dissection mechanism and solution of the selection problem. We observe that the results are applicable to many generalized geometric problems, to other Minkowski norms, and to other fixed dimensional spaces.

Biorthogonal wavelet-based full-approximation schemes for the numerical solution of elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication problems
Biorthogonal wavelet-based full-approximation schemes are introduced in this paper for the numerical solution of elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication line and point contact problems. The proposed methods give higher accuracy in terms of better convergence with low computational time, which have been demonstrated through the illustrative problems.
متن کاملLinear-Time Approximation Schemes for Clustering Problems
We present a general approach for designing approximation algorithms for a fundamental class of geometric clustering problems in arbitrary dimensions. More specifically, our approach leads to simple randomized algorithms for the k-means, k-median and discrete k-means problems that yield (1 + ε) approximations with probability ≥ 1/2 and running times of O(2(k/ε)O(1)dn). These are the first algor...

In this paper we propose and studied a new composite iterative scheme with certain control con-ditions for viscosity approximation for a zero of accretive operator and xed points problems in areflexive Banach space with weakly continuous duality mapping. Strong convergence of the sequencefxng dened by the new introduced iterative sequence is proved. The main results improve andcomplement the co...
متن کاملAPPROXIMATION OF STOCHASTIC PARABOLIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH TWO DIFFERENT FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEMES
We focus on the use of two stable and accurate explicit finite difference schemes in order to approximate the solution of stochastic partial differential equations of It¨o type, in particular, parabolic equations. The main properties of these deterministic difference methods, i.e., convergence, consistency, and stability, are separately developed for the stochastic cases.
متن کاملDegree Reduction of Disk Wang-Bézier Type Generalized Ball Curves
A disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve is a Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve whose control points are disks in a plane. It can be viewed as a parametric curve with error tolerances. In this paper, we discuss the problem of degree reduction of disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve, that is, bounding disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curves with lower degree disk Wa...
