摘要

Given a system (V, f, d) on a finite set V consisting of two set functions f : 2~V → R and d : 2~V → R, we consider the problem of finding a set R C V of minimum cardinality such that f(X) ≥ d(X) for all X ? V - R, where the problem can be regarded as a natural generalization of the source location problems and the external network problems in (undirected) graphs and hypergraphs. We give a structural characterization of minimal deficient sets of (V,f,d) under certain conditions. We show that all such sets form a tree hypergraph if f is posimodular and d is modulotone (I.e., each nonempty subset X of V has an element v ∈ X such that d(Y) ≥ d(X) for all subsets Y of X that contain v) and that, conversely, any tree hypergraph can be represented by minimal deficient sets of (V, f, d) for a posimodular function f and a modulotone function d. By using this characterization, we present a polynomial-time algorithm if, in addition, f is submodular and d is given by either d(X) = max{p(v) | v ∈ X} for a function p : V → R_+ or d(X) = max{r(v, w) | v ∈X, w ∈ V - X} for a function r : V~2 → R_+. Our result provides first polynomial-time algorithms for the source location problem in hypergraphs and the external network problems in graphs and hypergraphs. We also show that the problem is intractable, even if f is submodular and d ≡ 0.
