摘要:
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, and essentially reduces to a submodular function when. Our algorithm employs the deterministic approximation devised by Buchbinder et al.[3] for the case of the problem as a building block, and eventually attains an approximation ratio of for the curvature parameter and for a calibrating parameter that is any. For, the ratio attains 0.5008 by setting, 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. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
