چکیده
We design new approximation algorithms for the Multiway Cut problem, improving the previously known factor of 1.32388 [Buchbinder et al., 2013]. We proceed in three steps. First, we analyze the rounding scheme of Buchbinder et al. [2013] and design a modification that improves the approximation to 3+ √ 5 4 ≈ 1.309017. We also present a tight example showing that this is the best approximation one can achieve with the type of cuts considered by Buchbinder et al. [2013]: (1) partitioning by exponential clocks, and (2) single-coordinate cuts with equal thresholds. Then, we prove that this factor can be improved by introducing a new rounding scheme: (3) singlecoordinate cuts with descending thresholds. By combining these three schemes, we design an algorithm that achieves a factor of 10+4 √ 3 13 ≈ 1.30217. This is the best approximation factor that we are able to verify by hand. Finally, we show that by combining these three rounding schemes with the scheme of independent thresholds from Karger et al. [2004], the approximation factor can be further improved to 1.2965. This approximation factor has been verified only by computer.

متن کاملEvaluating Human Neural Tuning Curves From a Mechanical Model of the Cochlea by Relating Them to Psychophysical Masking Data
Human neural threshold tuning curves are estimated by scaling the parameters of Allen's [1] resonant tectorial membrane model of the cat cochlea. A way to evaluate the derived tuning curves using psychophysical data is developed, based on a psychophysical detection model which relates the physiological tuning curves to psychophysical masking data. A detection criterion, defined by a relationshi...
