Knapsack median is a generalization of the classic -median problem in which we replace the cardinality constraint with a knapsack constraint. It is currently known to be 32-approximable. We improve on the best known algorithms in several ways, including adding randomization and applying sparsification as a preprocessing step. The latter improvement produces the first LP for this problem with bounded integrality gap. The new algorithm obtains an approximation factor of 17.46. We also give a 3.05 approximation with small budget violation. |
