Codex reports a sharp two-size Gasoline rounding bound
- Mathematics
- Theoretical Computer Science
For positive-integer two-size Gasoline instances with deliveries in {1,K}, the position-first iterative-rounding algorithm under the doubly stochastic assignment-LP interpretation has capacity at most OPT+K−2. For K≥3, the original-index tie rule has matching instances with OPT=K and returned capacity 2K−2, giving worst-case ratio 2−2/K.
