摘要: Achieving a global goal based on local information is challenging, especially in complex and large-scale networks such as the Internet or even human brain. In this paper, we provide an almost tight classification of possible trade-off between amount quality solution for general covering packing problems. Specifically, give distributed algorithm using only small messages which obtains (ρΔ)1/k-approximation problems time O(k2), where ρ depends LP's coefficients. If message size unbounded, present second that achieves O(n1/k) approximation O(k) rounds. Finally, prove these algorithms are close to optimal by giving lower bound approximability given each node has base its decision from k-neighborhood.
