Note on Two-Stage BP Maximization

Maximizing the sum of a suBmodular and suPermodular function is called BP maximization. In previous literature, algorithms for BP maximization under various constraints have been proposed. However, approximation guarantees of these algorithms usually depend on the suBmodular and the suPermodular curvature, simultaneously. In this paper, we study the two-stage BP maximization subject to a matroid constraint, and design a replacement greedy algorithm whose guarantee depends only on the supermodular curvature.

Abstract

Maximizing the sum of a suBmodular and suPermodular function is called BP maximization. In previous literature, algorithms for BP maximization under various constraints have been proposed. However, approximation guarantees of these algorithms usually depend on the suBmodular and the suPermodular curvature, simultaneously. In this paper, we study the two-stage BP maximization subject to a matroid constraint, and design a replacement greedy algorithm whose guarantee depends only on the supermodular curvature.
