Abstract:
In the paper, we propose a deterministic approximation algorithm for maximizing a generalized monotone submodular function subject to a matroid constraint. The function is generalized through a curvature parameter c is an element of[0, 1], and essentially reduces to a submodular function when c = 1. Our algorithm employs the deterministic approximation devised by Buchbinder et al. [3] for the c = 1 case of the problem as a building block, and eventually attains an approximation ratio of 1+g(c)(x)+ Delta center dot [3+c-( 2+c)x-( 1+c)g(c)(x)] / 2+c+(1+c)(1-x) for the curvature parameter c is an element of[0, 1] and for a calibrating parameter that is any x is an element of[0, 1]. For c = 1, the ratio attains 0.5008 by setting x = 0.9, coinciding with the renowned performance guarantee of the problem. Moreover, when the submodular set function degenerates to a linear function, our generalized algorithm always produces optimum solutions and thus achieves an approximation ratio 1.
