Question: Let x be an NP - hard maximization problem. Assume that we have designed an algorithm A which, given an arbitrary instance I of x
Let be an NPhard maximization problem. Assume that we have designed an algorithm
which, given an arbitrary instance I of and an arbitrary positive real number computes a
approximate solution for instance I.
a Assume that the worstcase running time of algorithm is where
denotes the length of the binary representation of instance I. Does A correspond to an
FPTAS full polynomialtime approximation scheme for X If not, does A correspond to a
PTAS polynomialtime approximation scheme for X Only your final yesno answers will
be graded; there is no need to provide justification.
b Repeat part a but now assume that the worstcase running time of algorithm
is
c Repeat part a but now assume that the worstcase running time of algorithm
is
d Repeat part a but now assume that the worstcase running time of algorithm
is where
