Non-independent Randomized Rounding and an Application to Digital Halftoning
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We investigate the problem to round a given [0, 1]-valued matrix to a 0, 1 matrix such that the rounding error with respect to 2 × 2 boxes is small. Such roundings yield good solutions for the digital halftoning problem as shown by Asano et al. (SODA 2002). We present a randomized algorithm computing roundings with expected error at most 0.6287 per box, improving the 0.75 non-constructive bound of Asano et al. Our algorithm is the first one solving this problem fast enough for practical
