New approximations for minimum-weighted dominating sets and minimum-weighted connected dominating sets on unit disk graphs

چکیده
Given a node-weighted graph, the minimum-weighted dominating set (MWDS) problem is to find a minimum-weighted vertex subset such that, for any vertex, it is contained in this subset or it has a neighbor contained in this set. And the minimum-weighted connected dominating set (MWCDS) problem is to find a MWDS such that the graph induced by this subset is connected. In this paper, we study these two problems on a unit disk graph. A (4+ε)-approximation algorithm for anMWDS based on a dynamic programming algorithm for aMin-Weight Chromatic Disk Cover is presented. Meanwhile, we also propose a (1 +ε)-approximation algorithm for the connecting part by showing a polynomial-time approximation scheme for a Node-Weighted Steiner Tree problem when the given terminal set is c-local and thus obtain a (5+ε)-approximation algorithm for anMWCDS. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Constant-Factor Approximation for Minimum-Weight (Connected) Dominating Sets in Unit Disk Graphs
For a given graph with weighted vertices, the goal of the minimum-weight dominating set problem is to compute a vertex subset of smallest weight such that each vertex of the graph is contained in the subset or has a neighbor in the subset. A unit disk graph is a graph in which each vertex corresponds to a unit disk in the plane and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their disks have a non...
متن کاملOn connected domination in unit ball graphs
Given a simple undirected graph, the minimum connected dominating set problem is to find a minimum cardinality subset of vertices D inducing a connected subgraph such that each vertex outside D has at least one neighbor in D. Approximations of minimum connected dominating sets are often used to represent a virtual routing backbone in wireless networks. This paper first proposes a constant-ratio...

متن کاملConstant-approximation algorithms for highly connected multi-dominating sets in unit disk graphs
Given an undirected graph on a node set V and positive integers k and m, a k-connected m-dominating set ((k,m)-CDS) is defined as a subset S of V such that each node in V \ S has at least m neighbors in S, and a k-connected subgraph is induced by S. The weighted (k,m)-CDS problem is to find a minimum weight (k,m)-CDS in a given node-weighted graph. The problem is called the unweighted (k,m)-CDS...
متن کاملA (4 + ǫ)-Approximation for the Minimum-Weight Dominating Set Problem in Unit Disk Graphs
We present a (4 + ǫ)-approximation algorithm for the problem of computing a minimum-weight dominating set in unit disk graphs, where ǫ is an arbitrarily small constant. The previous best known approximation ratio was 5+ǫ. The main result of this paper is a 4-approximation algorithm for the problem restricted to constant-size areas. To obtain the (4 + ǫ)-approximation algorithm for the unrestric...
