Abstract
Binary polynomial optimization (BPO) is the problem of maximizing a polynomial function on the Boolean domain. This problem can be formulated by using a hypergraph, and various properties of the input hypergraph have been investigated from the viewpoint of polynomial-time solvability. In this paper, we especially focus on β-acyclic hypergraphs. For BPO over β-acyclic hypergraphs, Del Pia and Di Gregorio proposed a polynomial-time algorithm. We prove that the algorithm proposed by Del Pia and Di Gregorio can be extended to a more general optimization problem in β-acyclic hypergraphs.
期刊介绍:
Information Processing Letters invites submission of original research articles that focus on fundamental aspects of information processing and computing. This naturally includes work in the broadly understood field of theoretical computer science; although papers in all areas of scientific inquiry will be given consideration, provided that they describe research contributions credibly motivated by applications to computing and involve rigorous methodology. High quality experimental papers that address topics of sufficiently broad interest may also be considered.
Since its inception in 1971, Information Processing Letters has served as a forum for timely dissemination of short, concise and focused research contributions. Continuing with this tradition, and to expedite the reviewing process, manuscripts are generally limited in length to nine pages when they appear in print.
