We investigate the problem of k-submodular maximization under a knapsack constraint over the ground set of size... This problem finds many applications in various fields, such as multi-topic propagation, multi-sensor placement, cooperative games, etc. However, existing algorithms for the studied problem face challenges in practice as the size of instances increases in practical applications. This paper introduces three deterministic and approximation algorithms for the problem that significantly improve both the approximation ratio and query complexity of existing practical algorithms. Our first algorithm, FA, returns an approximation ratio of 1/10 within O(nk) query complexity. The second one, IFA, improves the approximation ratio to 1/4-epsilon in O(nk/epsilon) queries. The last one IFA+ upgrades the approximation ratio to 1/3-epsilon in O(nk log(1/epsilon)/epsilon) query complexity, where.. is an accuracy parameter. Our algorithms are the first ones that provide constant approximation ratios within only O(nk) query complexity, and the novel idea to achieve results lies in two components. Firstly, we divide the ground set into two appropriate subsets to find the near-optimal solution over these ones with O(nk) queries. Secondly, we devise algorithmic frameworks that combine the solution of the first algorithm and the greedy threshold method to improve solution quality. In addition to the theoretical analysis, we have evaluated our proposed ones with several experiments in some instances: Influence Maximization, Information Coverage Maximization, and Sensor Placement for the problem. The results confirm that our algorithms ensure theoretical quality as the cutting-edge techniques, including streaming and non-streaming algorithms, and also significantly reduce the number of queries.

The probabilistic analysis of an approximation algorithm for the minimum-weight m-peripatetic salesman problem with different weight functions of their routes (Hamiltonian cycles) is presented. The time complexity of the algorithm is O(mn(2)). It is assumed that the elements of the distance matrix are independent equally distributed random variables with values in an upper unbounded domain [a(n),infinity), where a(n) > 0. The analysis is carried out for the example of truncated normal and exponential distributions. Estimates for the relative error and failure probability, as well as conditions for the asymptotic exactness of the algorithm, are found.

The square root is one of the most used functions in many different engineering and scientific applications. We propose new methods for calculating the square root function that are based on the Newton-Raphson method with Heron iteration. A modification of Heron's formula combined with an improved selection of the magic constants enables a significant reduction of the maximum relative error (MRE). Simple modifications to the Newton-Raphson formula and the magic number method enable implementation on platforms with limited hardware resources, such as microcontrollers and FPGAs, with variable accuracy. Implementations of new approximation algorithms in the C programming language were carefully tested and evaluated against their software and hardware counterparts on the most popular platforms, e.g., CPUs from Intel, AMD and ARM, GPU from Nvidia and IPU from Graphcore. The proposed numerical algorithms are shown to be superior in terms of computational time, the number of clock cycles, accuracy, MRE, and root mean square deviation.

With the development of information and the integration of media, it has great practical significance and research value to build a digital learning environment based on the complicated electronic circuit. However, the complicated electronic circuit in real-time need a complex and expensive technology. In order to overcome the high cost and technology, an approach was proposed for simplifying generation by approximating the excitations with rectangular pulses, triangular pulses and cosine waves which can be implemented with a moderate cost in analogical electronics. In this work, we improved a novel approach based on genetic programming, The differences between theoretical excitation signals and the approximation driving pulses, related to their excitation effects, were minimized by genetic programming. From these results, the accuracy of simulation can be improved by the new approach, the difference between theoretical complicated digital signals and the new approach is reduced. A tradeoff is obtained between the costs of implementation of digital processing in digital learning environments.

Balanced clustering is a frequently encountered problem in applications requiring balanced class distributions, which generalizes the standard clustering problem in that the number of clients connected to each facility is constrained by the given lower and upper bounds. It was known that both the problems of balanced k-means and k-median are W[2]-hard if parameterized by k, implying that the existences of FPT(k )-time exact algorithms for these problems are unlikely. In this paper, we give FPT(k)-time (9 + is an element of )-approximation and (3 + is an element of )-approximation algorithms for balanced k-means and k-median respectively, improving upon the previous best approximation ratios of 86.9 + is an element of and 7.2 + is an element of obtained in the same time. Our main technical contribution and the crucial step in getting the improved ratios is a different random sampling method for selecting opened facilities.

In this paper, we study the maximum bounded connected bipartition problem: given a vertex-weighted connected graph G = (V, E;w) and an upper bound B, the vertex set V is partitioned into two subsets (V-1, V-2) such that the total weight of the two subgraphs induced by V1 and V2 is maximized, and these subgraphs are connected, where the weight of a subgraph is the minimum of B and the total weight of all vertices in the subgraph. In this paper, we prove that this problem is N P-hard even when G is a completed graph, a grid graph with only 3 rows or an interval graph, and we present an 8/7-approximation algorithm. In particular, we present a 14/13-approximation algorithm for the case of grid graphs, and we present a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for the case of interval graphs.

We study geometric duality for convex vector optimization problems. For a primal problem with a q-dimensional objective space, we formulate a dual problem with a (q+1)-dimensional objective space. Consequently, different from an existing approach, the geometric dual problem does not depend on a fixed direction parameter, and the resulting dual image is a convex cone. We prove a one-to-one correspondence between certain faces of the primal and dual images. In addition, we show that a polyhedral approximation for one image gives rise to a polyhedral approximation for the other. Based on this, we propose a geometric dual algorithm which solves the primal and dual problems simultaneously and is free of direction-biasedness. We also modify an existing direction-free primal algorithm in such a way that it solves the dual problem as well. We test the performance of the algorithms for randomly generated problem instances by using the so-called primal error and hypervolume indicator as performance measures.

We investigate two parallel dedicated machine scheduling with conflict constraints. The problem of minimizing the makespan has been shown to be NP-hard in the strong sense under the assumption that the processing sequence of jobs on one machine is given and fixed a priori. The problem without any fixed sequence was previously recognized as weakly NP-hard. In this paper, we first present a 95-approximation algorithm for the problem with a fixed sequence. Then we show that the tight approximation ratios of the algorithm are 74 and 35 for two subproblems which remain strongly NP-hard. We also root send an improved algorithm with approximation ratio 3 - 2 approximate to 1.586 for one subproblem. Finally, we prove that the problem without any fixed sequence is actually strongly NP-hard, and design a 35-approximation algorithm. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
