Randomly Rounding Rationals with Cardinality Constraints and Derandomizations
[chapter]
STACS 2007
We show how to generate randomized roundings of rational vectors that satisfy hard cardinality constraints and allow large deviations bounds. ...
We call a constraint hard constraint if we require our solution to satisfy it without violation. In this paper, we are mainly concerned with cardinality constraints. ...
General Derandomization In this section, we give a simple derandomization for the case that the constraint matrix A is rational and we do not have hard constraints. ...

Randomized Rounding in the Presence of a Cardinality Constraint
2015
ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics
We regard the problem of generating randomized roundings with a single cardinality constraint. This is motivated by recent results of Srinivasan (FOCS 2001), Gandhi et al. ...
Our experiments show that adding a single cardinality constraint typically reduces the rounding errors and not seriously increases the running times. ...
Most noteworthy is the derandomization of Srinivasan's randomized roundings with cardinality constraints.

These problems are (i) covering a directed graph by k a-arborescences and (ii) packing k branchings with given root sets in a directed graph. ...
Further, we derandomize our algorithm so that it needs only O(log²(kn|E|)) many random bits. ...
Given a rational point β ∈ R E , one needs to decide if β lies in P r , and if not then find a violating constraint from the above set. ...

Monte Carlo Methods and Applications
To this end, we introduce the inverse of the star discrepancy of such a sequence, and derive upper bounds for it as well as for the star discrepancy of the projections of finite subsequences with explicitly ...
This results in a deterministic algorithm that constructs N -point sets with small discrepancy in a component-by-component fashion. ...
In order to be able to use existing derandomizations, we reformulate our problem of "adding one dimension" as a rounding problem with hard constraints. ...
