摘要: In this paper, we define a network service provider game. We show that the price of anarchy defined game can be bounded by analyzing local search heuristic for related facility location problem called k-facility problem. As result, has locality gap 5. This result is interest on its own. Our gives evidence to belief certain games are analysis heuristics.
