A Simple LP-Based Approximation Algorithm for the Matching Augmentation Problem

چکیده

AbstractThe Matching Augmentation Problem (MAP) has recently received significant attention as an important step towards better approximation algorithms for finding cheap 2-edge connected subgraphs. This culminated in a \(\frac{5}{3}\)-approximation algorithm. However, the algorithm and its analysis are fairly involved do not compare against problem’s well-known LP relaxation called cut LP.In this paper, we propose simple that, guided by optimal solution to LP, first selects DFS tree then finds MAP computing optimum augmentation of tree. Using properties extreme point solutions, show that our always returns (in polynomial time) than 2-approximation when compared LP. We thereby also obtain improved upper bound on integrality gap natural relaxation.

A 1.75 LP approximation for the Tree Augmentation Problem

In the Tree Augmentation Problem (TAP) the goal is to augment a tree T by a minimum size edge set F from a given edge set E such that T ∪F is 2-edge-connected. The best approximation ratio known for TAP is 1.5. In the more general Weighted TAP problem, F should be of minimum weight. Weighted TAP admits several 2-approximation algorithms w.r.t. to the standard cut LP-relaxation, but for all of t...

An LP 7/4-approximation for the Tree Augmentation Problem

In the Tree Augmentation Problem (TAP) the goal is to augment a tree T by a minimum size edge set F from a given edge set E such that T ∪ F is 2-edge-connected. The best known approximation ratio for the problem is 1.5 [5, 12]. Several paper analysed integrality gaps of LP and SDP relaxations for the problem. In [13] is given a simple LP with gap 1.5 for the case when every edge in E connects t...

A Self-stabilizing -Approximation Algorithm for the Maximum Matching Problem

The matching problem asks for a large set of disjoint edges in a graph. It is a problem that has received considerable attention in both the sequential and self-stabilizing literature. Previous work has resulted in self-stabilizing algorithms for computing a maximal ( 2 -approximation) matching in a general graph, as well as computing a 3 -approximation on more specific graph types. In the foll...
