Approximating k-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraphs via a Near-Linear Time LP Solver

Authors: Parinya Chalermsook, Chien-Chung Huang, Danupon Nanongkai, Thatchaphol Saranurak, Pattara Sukprasert, and Sorrachai Yingchareonthawornchai

Abstract
In the k-edge-connected spanning subgraph (kECSS) problem, our goal is to compute a minimum-cost sub-network that is resilient against up to k link failures: Given an n-node m-edge graph with a cost function on the edges, our goal is to compute a minimum-cost k-edge-connected spanning subgraph. This NP-hard problem generalizes the minimum spanning tree problem and is the "uniform case" of a much broader class of survival network design problems (SNDP). A factor of two has remained the best approximation ratio for polynomial-time algorithms for the whole class of SNDP, even for a special case of 2ECSS. The fastest 2-approximation algorithm is however rather slow, taking O(mn k) time [Khuller, Vishkin, STOC'92]. A faster time complexity of O(n²) can be obtained, but with a higher approximation guarantee of (2k-1) [Gabow, Goemans, Williamson, IPCO'93]. Our main contribution is an algorithm that (1+ε)-approximates the optimal fractional solution in Õ(m/ε²) time (independent of k), which can be turned into a (2+ε) approximation algorithm that runs in time Õ(m/(ε²) + {k²n^{1.5}}/ε²) for (integral) kECSS; this improves the running time of the aforementioned results while keeping the approximation ratio arbitrarily close to a factor of two.

Approximating Incremental Combinatorial Optimization Problems

Authors: Michel X. Goemans and Francisco Unda

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 81, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2017)

Abstract
We consider incremental combinatorial optimization problems, in which a solution is constructed incrementally over time, and the goal is to optimize not the value of the final solution but the average value over all timesteps. We consider a natural algorithm of moving towards a global optimum solution as quickly as possible. We show that this algorithm provides an approximation guarantee of (9+sqrt(21))/15 > 0.9 for a large class of incremental combinatorial optimization problems defined axiomatically, which includes (bipartite and non-bipartite) matchings, matroid intersections, and stable sets in claw-free graphs. Furthermore, our analysis is tight.
