FPT Constant-Approximations for Capacitated Clustering to Minimize the Sum of Cluster Radii

Résumé

Clustering with capacity constraints is a fundamental problem that attracted significant attention throughout the years. In this paper, we give the first FPT constant-factor approximation algorithm for the problem of clustering points in a general metric into k clusters to minimize the sum of cluster radii, subject to non-uniform hard capacity constraints (Capacitated Sum of Radii ). In particular, we give a (15 + ε)-approximation algorithm that runs in 2O(k2 log k) · n3 time. When capacities are uniform, we obtain the following improved approximation bounds. A (4 + ε)-approximation with running time 2O(k log(k/ε))n3, which significantly improves over the FPT 28-approximation of Inamdar and Varadarajan [ESA 2020]. A (2 + ε)-approximation with running time 2O(k/ε2·log(k/ε))dn3 and a (1 + ε)-approxim- ation with running time 2O(kd log((k/ε)))n3 in the Euclidean space. Here d is the dimension. A (1 + ε)-approximation in the Euclidean space with running time 2O(k/ε2·log(k/ε))dn3 if we are allowed to violate the capacities by (1 + ε)-factor. We complement this result by showing that there is no (1 + ε)-approximation algorithm running in time f(k) · nO(1), if any capacity violation is not allowed.
