Abstract
The input to the MAXIMUM SAVING PARTITION PROBLEM consists of a set V={1,â¦,n}, weights wi, a function f, and a family S of feasible subsets of V. The output is a partition (S1,â¦,Sl) such that SiâS, and âjâVwj-âi=1lf(Si) is maximized. We present a general 12-approximation algorithm, and improved algorithms for special cases of the function f.
