Abstract

approximation algorithm probabilistic analysis range assignment spanning tree
If V is a set of n points in the unit square [0,1] 2 , and if R:V-> Re + is an assignment of positive real numbers (radii) to to those points, define a graph G(R) as follows: [v,w] is an undirected edge if and only if the Euclidean distance d(v,w) is less than or equal to min(R(v),R(w)). Given α≥ 1 and k∈ Z + , let R k* be the range assignment that minimizes the function J(R) =sum limits v #8712; V R(v) α , subject to the constraint that G(R) has at least k edge-disjoint spanning trees. For n random points in [0,1] 2 , the expected value of the optimum, E(J(R k *)), is asymptotically Θ(n 1-α/2 ). This is proved by analyzing a crude approximation algorithm that finds a range assignment R k a such that the ratio J(R k a )/J(R k *) is bounded.
