In the generalized budgeted submodular set function maximization problem, we are given a ground set of elements and a set of bins. Each bin has its own cost and the cost of each element depends on its associated bin. The goal is to find a subset of elements along with an associated set of bins such that the overall costs of both is at most a given budget, and the profit is maximized. We present an algorithm that guarantees a -approximation, where is the approximation factor of an algorithm for a sub-problem. If the costs satisfy a specific condition, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm that gives us , while for the general case we design an algorithm with .
We extend our results providing a bi-criterion approximation algorithm where we can spend an extra budget up to a factor to guarantee a -approximation.

广义预算子模集函数最大化
在广义预算子模集函数最大化问题中,给定了一组基本元素和一组 bin。每个 bin 都有自己的成本,每个元素的成本取决于其关联的 bin。目标是找到一个元素子集以及一组相关联的 bin,使得两者的总成本最多是给定的预算,并且利润最大化。我们提出了一种算法来保证-近似,其中 是子问题算法的逼近因子。如果成本满足特定条件,我们提供多项式时间算法,而对于一般情况,我们设计了一个算法 .
我们扩展了我们的结果,提供了一个双准则近似算法,我们可以在其中花费一个额外的预算 保证一个 -近似。
