Iterative rounding approximation algorithms for degree-bounded node-connectivity network design
アブストラクト
We consider the problem of finding a minimum edge cost subgraph of an undirected or a directed graph satisfying given connectivity requirements and degree bounds b(v) on nodes v. In this talk, we mainly discuss the problem with element- and node-connectivity requirements, for which no efficient approximation algorithm was known. We present an iterative rounding algorithm of the set-pair LP relaxation for this problem, and show that it achieves good approximation factors. This is a joint work with R. Ravi (Carnegie Mellon University) and Zeev Nutov (Open University of Israel).
