A (1.4+ϵ)-approximation algorithm for the 2-Max-Duo problem
The maximum duo-preservation string mapping ( Max-Duo ) problem is the complement of the well studied minimum common string partition problem, both of which have applications in many fields including text compression and bioinformatics. k - Max-Duo is the restricted version of Max-Duo , where every...

| Shrnutí: | The
maximum duo-preservation string mapping
(
Max-Duo
) problem is the complement of the well studied
minimum common string partition
problem, both of which have applications in many fields including text compression and bioinformatics.
k

Max-Duo
is the restricted version of
Max-Duo
, where every letter of the alphabet occurs at most
k
times in each of the strings, which is readily reduced into the well known
maximum independent set
(
MIS
) problem on a graph of maximum degree
Δ
≤

(

)
. In particular, 2-
Max-Duo
can then be approximated arbitrarily close to 1.8 using the state-of-the-art approximation algorithm for the
MIS
problem on bounded-degree graphs. 2-
Max-Duo
was proved APX-hard and very recently a
(

ϵ
)
-approximation algorithm was claimed, for any

. In this paper, we present a vertex-degree reduction technique, based on which, we show that 2-
Max-Duo
can be approximated arbitrarily close to 1.4. |
