Abstract

This work studies the non-monotone DR-submodular Maximization over a ground set of nn subject to a size constraint kk. We propose two approximation algorithms for solving this problem named FastDrSub and FastDrSub++. FastDrSub offers an approximation ratio of 0.0440.044 with query complexity of O(nlog(k))O(n \log(k)). The second one, FastDrSub++, improves upon it with a ratio of 1/4ϵ1/4-\epsilon within query complexity of (nlogk)(n \log k) for an input parameter ϵ>0\epsilon >0. Therefore, our proposed algorithms are the first constant-ratio approximation algorithms for the problem with the low complexity of O(nlog(k))O(n \log(k)). Additionally, both algorithms are experimentally evaluated and compared against existing state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating their effectiveness in solving the Revenue Maximization problem with DR-submodular objective function. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithms significantly outperform existing approaches in terms of both query complexity and solution quality.
