Journal ArticleDOI
Maximizing a Monotone Submodular Function Subject to a Matroid Constraint
TL;DR: An improved coating pan apparatus and spray arm assembly are disclosed for providing facilitated maintenance and cleaning of sensitive spray nozzles.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimal approximation for the submodular welfare problem in the value oracle model
TL;DR: A randomized continuous greedy algorithm is developed which achieves a (1-1/e)-approximation for the Submodular Welfare Problem in the value oracle model and is shown to have a potential of wider applicability on the examples of the Generalized Assignment Problem and the AdWords Assignment Problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maximizing Non-monotone Submodular Functions
TL;DR: This paper designs the first constant-factor approximation algorithms for maximizing nonnegative (non-monotone) submodular functions and proves NP- hardness of $(\frac{5}{6}+\epsilon)$-approximation in the symmetric case and NP-hardness of $\frac{3}{4}+ \epsil on)$ in the general case.
Proceedings Article
Maximizing a Submodular Set Function subject to a Matroid Constraint
TL;DR: The generalized assignment problem (GAP) is a special case of the problem, and although the reduction requires |N| to be exponential in the original problem size, it is able to interpret the recent (1 i¾? 1/e)-approximation for GAP by Fleischer et al.[10] in the framework.
Proceedings Article
Lazier than lazy greedy
TL;DR: In this article, a linear-time algorithm for maximizing a general monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint was proposed, which can achieve a (1 − 1/e − e) approximation guarantee to the optimum solution in time linear in the size of the data and independent of the cardinality constraints.
