[图书][B] Combinatorial optimization

BH Korte, J Vygen, B Korte, J Vygen - 2011 - Springer
Let us start with two examples. A company has a machine which drills holes into printed
circuit boards. Since it produces many of these boards it wants the machine to complete one …

Local search heuristic for k-median and facility location problems

V Arya, N Garg, R Khandekar, A Meyerson… - Proceedings of the …, 2001 - dl.acm.org
In this paper, we analyze local search heuristics for the k-median and facility location
problems. We define the\em locality gap\/of a local search procedure as the maximum ratio …

Greedy facility location algorithms analyzed using dual fitting with factor-revealing LP

K Jain, M Mahdian, E Markakis, A Saberi… - Journal of the ACM …, 2003 - dl.acm.org
In this article, we will formalize the method of dual fitting and the idea of factor-revealing LP.
This combination is used to design and analyze two greedy algorithms for the metric …

A new greedy approach for facility location problems

K Jain, M Mahdian, A Saberi - Proceedings of the thiry-fourth annual …, 2002 - dl.acm.org
We present a simple and natural greedy algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility
location problem achieving an approximation guarantee of 1.61. We use this algorithm to …

Improved approximation algorithms for the uncapacitated facility location problem

FA Chudak, DB Shmoys - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2003 - SIAM
We consider the uncapacitated facility location problem. In this problem, there is a set of
locations at which facilities can be built; a fixed cost fi is incurred if a facility is opened at …

Designing the distribution network of essential items in the critical conditions of earthquakes and COVID-19 simultaneously

S Abbasi, I Vlachos, S Rekabi, M Talooni - Sustainability, 2023 - mdpi.com
Current societies must make the necessary plans for effective responses and to reduce the
destructive effects of disasters. For this reason, this research has developed a mathematical …

Approximation algorithms for metric facility location problems

M Mahdian, Y Ye, J Zhang - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2006 - SIAM
In this paper we present a 1.52-approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility
location problem, and a 2-approximation algorithm for the metric capacitated facility location …

The online median problem

RR Mettu, CG Plaxton - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2003 - SIAM
We introduce a natural variant of the (metric uncapacitated) k-median problem that we call
the online median problem. Whereas the k-median problem involves optimizing the …

Improved combinatorial algorithms for facility location problems

M Charikar, S Guha - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2005 - SIAM
We present improved combinatorial approximation algorithms for the uncapacitated facility
location problem. Two central ideas in most of our results are cost scaling and greedy …
