Abstract

This paper studies optimal matroid partitioning problems for various objective functions. Inthe problem, we are given a finite set E and k weighted matroids (E, Ii,wi), i = 1, . . . , k, andour task is to find a minimum partition (I1, . . . , Ik) of E such that Ii 2 Ii for all i. For eachobjective function, we give a polynomial-Time algorithm or prove NP-hardness. In particular, forthe case when the given weighted matroids are identical and the objective function is the sum ofthe maximum weight in each set (i.e.,Pk i=1 maxe2Ii wi(e)), we show that the problem is strongly NP-hard but admits a PTAS.
