  2. Satisfying costumers I: Suppliers J: Costumers x(i,j) assignment d(j): demand c(i): capacity Supplier i assigned x(i,.) s.t.x(i,J) = jx(i,j) ≤ c(i) Costumer j is satisfied ifx(I,j) = ix(i,j) ≥ d(j) Seventh Haifa Workshop on Interdisciplinary Applications of Graph Theory, Combinatorics, and Algorithms

  3. Motivating Example • Future 4G: • Technology enables having several stations cover a client • “Cover-by-many” • Larger demands Main Question: How can we maximize coverage in such settings? South Harrow area, NW London (produced using Schema’s OptiPlanner) Seventh Haifa Workshop on Interdisciplinary Applications of Graph Theory, Combinatorics, and Algorithms

  4. Problem: Is there x to satisfy all costumers?: Solution: use Max Flow (and find also x) I: Suppliers J: Costumers c(i,j)= ∞ x(i,j) assignment c(s,i)=c(i) c(j,t)=d(j) Supplier i assigned x(i,.) s.t.x(i,J) = jx(i,j) ≤ c(i) Costumer j is satisfied ifx(I,j) = ix(i,j) ≥ d(j) Seventh Haifa Workshop on Interdisciplinary Applications of Graph Theory, Combinatorics, and Algorithms

  8. The Local-Ratio Theorem: yis an r-approximation with respect to p1 yis an r-approximation with respect to p- p1  yis an r-approximation with respect to p Proof: p1 · y  r ×p1* p2 · y  r ×p2*  p · y  r ×( p1*+ p2*)  r ×(p1 + p2 )* Seventh Haifa Workshop on Interdisciplinary Applications of Graph Theory, Combinatorics, and Algorithms

  9. A (1-r)/(2-r)-Approximation Our Goal: Find a good decomposition of p • x,y is greedy-maximal if it cannot be extended: • i.e. i’s free space: c(i)-x(i) is not enough to satisfy a new costumer j i.e: ijEc(i)-x(i) < d(j) Seventh Haifa Workshop on Interdisciplinary Applications of Graph Theory, Combinatorics, and Algorithms
