13 Fractional Objective Function: Parametric Search Assumption: Goal: We have algorithm A for solving linear version of Problem P Solving the fractional version P F of P where the objective function is the quotient of profits and costs

14 Fractional Objective Function: Parametric Search Multiply all costs with a factor t Q + new linear problem P(t): There is a t* with the properties: 1 P(t*) has same optimal sub-trees as P F 2 Objective value o(t*) = 0 3 The optimal solution for P F is t* Apply linear algorithm to P(t)

15 Fractional Objective Function: Geometric Interpretation linear function for each subtreet T o(t): piecewise linear, convex, monotonically decreasing t* t

16 Fractional Objective Function: How to find t*? (1) Straightforward Approach: fi Binary Search + easy to handle upper bound for t*? no polynomial running time bound stopping criterion

35 Newton s Method Running time bounds: Radzik: iterations Theorem: iterations running time Worst case example:...

36 Fractional Objective Function: How to find t*? (3) Different approach: fi Megiddo s Method Instead of searching for t*, the linear problem is solved with fixed costs resp. profits replaced by linear functions.

37 Fractional Objective Function: Megiddo s Method Simulate run of linear algorithm on P(t*) Consider all leafs of the tree Edge e is assigned label true if: Solving linear problem P(t) decides label of e and identifies t as upper or lower bound for t*

38 Megiddo s Method Interval for t*: Root of a-bt

39 Megiddo s Method Interval for t*: a-bt Root of

40 Megiddo s Method Interval for t*: Root of a-bt Solve P (t 0 ) t 0 will be new t l or t h Interval becomes smaller Decision like before

41 Speed-Up Collect roots t of the decisions for all leafs of the tree and sort them Binary search on sorted sequence executing A until all decisions are fixed Delete all current leafs from tree and add their linear function to the function of their parent if edge label is true Start next iteration

42 Example: Megiddo r

43 Example: Megiddo r t l 0 t h

44 Example: Megiddo r t l 0 t h calling linear alg. witht= 8/7... o(t) = 3/7 > 0 t l = 8/7

45 Example: Megiddo r t l 8/7 t h calling linear alg. witht= 3/2... o(t) = -4 < 0 t h = 3/2

46 Example: Megiddo r t l 8/7 t h 3/2

47 Example: Megiddo r t l 8/7 t h 3/2

48 Example: Megiddo r t l 8/7 t h 3/2

49 Example: Megiddo r t l 8/7 t h 3/2

50 Example: Megiddo r t l 8/7 t h 3/2

51 Example: Megiddo r t l 8/7 t h 3/2 calling linear alg. witht= 24/19... o(t) = -49/19 < 0 t h = 24/19

52 Example: Megiddo r t l 8/7 t h 24/19

53 Example: Megiddo r t l 8/7 t h 24/19

54 Megiddo: Analysis No degree 2 vertices (i.e. no paths): Every iteration deletes at least half of all remaining vertices O(nlog logn) total running time General trees (with vertices of degree 2): path contraction

55 Megiddo: Path Contraction Case 1: optimal solution contains subtree T i Contains cost of the complete path T i

56 Megiddo: Path Contraction Case 2: optimal solution cuts off subtree T i Contains cost of the best part of the path T i

57 Megiddo: Path Contraction Combination: put artificial vertex between root and T i Contains cost of the best part of the path Edge contains cost of the remaining path T i

58 Megiddo: Path Contraction How to find the best vertex on the path? m vertices on the path m candidates each corresponds to a linear cost function find minimum of m linear functions m breakpoints in O(mlog logm) time collect them and perform binary search together with the roots from the leafs

59 Megiddo: Path Contraction Analysis: If path contraction is performed in every iteration at least one third of all remaining vertices are deleted in every iteration Recursion for overall running time T(n): T(n) n logn + T(2/3 n)... O(nlog logn) total running time for general trees
