Abstract:
In the paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the multilinear extension of a nonsubmodular set function subject to a k-cardinality constraint with adaptive rounds of evaluation queries. We devise an algorithm which achieves a ratio of ( 1- e-(gamma 2)- epsilon) and requires O (logn/epsilon(2)) adaptive rounds and O(logn/epsilon(2)) queries, where gamma is the continuous generic submodularity ratio that compares favorably in flexibility to the traditional submodularity ratio proposed by Das and Kempe. The key idea of our algorithm is originated from the parallel-greedy algorithm proposed by Chekuri et al., but incorporating with two major changes to retain the performance guarantee: First, identify all good coordinates with the continuous generic submodularity ratio and gradient values approximately as large as the best coordinate, and increase along all these coordinates uniformly; Second, increase xalong these coordinates by a dynamical increment whose value depends on gamma. The key difficulty of our algorithm is that when the function is nonsubmodular, the set of the best coordinate does not decrease during iterations; while provided submodularity, the decreasing can be ensured by the parallel-greedy algorithm. Our algorithms slightly compromise performance guarantee for the sake of extending to constrained nonsubmodular maximization with parallelism, provided that the state-of-art algorithm for the corresponding submodular version attains an approximation ratio of (1 - 1/e- epsilon) and requires O (logn/epsilon(2)) adaptive rounds.
