Polynomial Time Approximation Schemes and Parameterized Complexity
In this paper, we study the relationship between the approximability and the parameterized complexity of NP optimization problems. We introduce a notion of polynomial fixed-parameter tractability and prove that, under a very general constraint, an NP optimization problem has a fully polynomial time approximation scheme if and only if the problem is polynomial fixed-parameter tractable. By enfor...
متن کاملPolynomial-Time Approximation Schemes
We present the first polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASes) for the following subset-connectivity problems in edge-weighted graphs of bounded genus: Steiner tree, low-connectivity survivable-network design, and subset TSP. The schemes run in O(n log n) time for graphs embedded on both orientable and nonorientable surfaces. This work generalizes the PTAS frameworks of Borradaile, Klein, ...
متن کاملPolynomial-Time Approximation Schemes
Let Π be an NP-hard optimization problem, and let A be an approximation algorithm for Π. For an instance I of Π, let A(I) denote the objective value when running A on I, and let OPT (I) denote the optimal objective value. The approximation ratio of A for the instance I is RA(I) = A(I)/OPT (I), thus, when Π is minimization (maximization) problem RA(I) ≥ 1 (RA(I) ≤ 1). A polynomial time approxima...
متن کاملFully Polynomial Time Approximation Schemes
Recall that the approximation ratio for an approximation algorithm is a measure to evaluate the approximation performance of the algorithm. The closer the ratio to 1 the better the approximation performance of the algorithm. It is notable that there is a class of NP-hard optimization problems, most originating from scheduling problems, for which there are polynomial time approximation algorithm...
متن کاملHeuristic Certificates using Polynomial Time Approximation Schemes
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of science and engineering concerned with the computational understanding of what is commonly called intelligent behavior, and with the creation of artifacts that exhibit such behavior. The idea behind heuristic search is to search through various nodes which represent possible states for a given problem in an efficient manner to reduce the number of node...
