Abstract

Given a connected weighted graph G = (V, E), we consider a hypergraph H_G = (V, script P sign _G) corresponding to the set of all shortest paths in G. For a given real assignment a on V satisfying 0≤a(v)≤1, a global rounding a with respect to H_G is a binary assignment satisfying that |Σ_u∈Fa(v) - α(v)| - < 1 for every F ∈ script P sign _G. We conjecture that there are at most |V| + 1 global roundings for H_G, and also the set of global roundings is an affine independent set. We give several positive evidences for the conjecture.
