An approximation algorithm for the hierarchical median problem
V. V. Shenmaier Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Abstract:
The hierarchical median problem asks for an hierarchical sequence of solutions of the $k$-median problem for the increasing values of $k$. The best known algorithm for this problem has competitive ratio 20.71. The cases, when all the clients and facilities lie on the path and in Euclidean metric space, are considered. The result is the algorithm with the respective competitive ratio 8 and 8+4$\sqrt2$ (approximately 13.66). Bibl. 6.
Keywords:
$k$-median problem, hierarchical clustering, incremental median problem, approximation algorithm, competitive ratio.
