Title
Approximation algorithms for Capacitated Facility Location Problem with Penalties.
Abstract
In this paper, we address the problem of capacitated facility location problem with penalties (CapFLPP) paid per unit of unserved demand. In case of uncapacitated FLP with penalties demands of a client are either entirely met or are entirely rejected and penalty is paid. In the uncapacitated case, there is no reason to serve a client partially. Whereas, in case of CapFLPP, it may be beneficial to serve a client partially instead of not serving at all and, pay the penalty for the unmet demand. Charikar et. al. \cite{charikar2001algorithms}, Jain et. al. \cite{jain2003greedy} and Xu- Xu \cite{xu2009improved} gave $3$, $2$ and $1.8526$ approximation, respectively, for the uncapacitated case . We present $(5.83 + \epsilon)$ factor for the case of uniform capacities and $(8.532 + \epsilon)$ factor for non-uniform capacities.
