Computational Geometric Approach to Submodular Function Minimization for Multiclass Queueing Systems

In this talk, we present an efficient algorithm for minimizing a certain class of submodular functions that arise in analysis of multiclass queueing systems. In particular, the algorithm can be used for testing whether a given multiclass M/M/1 system achieves a required average performance by an appropriate control policy. With the aid of the topological sweeping method for line arrangement, our algorithm runs in O(n²) time, where n is the cardinality of the ground set. This is much faster than direct applications of general submodular function minimization algorithms.

This is a joint work with Toshinari Itoko.
