Previously, we proposed Minimum Average Routing Path Clustering Problem (MARPCP) in multi-hop USNs. The goal of this problem is to find a clustering of a USN so that the average clustering-based routing path from a node to it nearest underwater sink is minimized. We relaxed MARPCP to a special case of Minimum Weight Dominating Set Problem (MWDSP), namely MWDSP-R. In addition, we showed the Performance Ratio (PR) of α-approximation algorithm for MWDSP-R is 3α for MARPCP. Based on this result, we showed the existence of a (15 + ∊)-approximation algorithm for MARPCP. In this paper, we first establish the NP-completeness of both MARPCP and MWDSP-R. Then, we propose a PTAS for MWDSP-R. By combining this result with our previous one, we have a (3 + ∊)-approximation algorithm for MARPCP.

We present a novel technique for cardinality-constrained index-tracking, a common task in the financial industry. Our approach is based on market graph models. We model our reference indices as market graphs and express the index-tracking problem as a quadratic K-medoids clustering problem. We take advantage of a purpose-built hardware architecture to circumvent the NP-hard nature of the problem and solve our formulation efficiently. The main contributions of this article are bridging three separate areas of the literature, market graph models, K-medoid clustering and quadratic binary optimization modeling, to formulate the index-tracking problem as a binary quadratic K-medoid graph-clustering problem. Our initial results show we accurately replicate the returns of various market indices, using only a small subset of their constituent assets. Moreover, our binary quadratic formulation allows us to take advantage of recent hardware advances to overcome the NP-hard nature of the problem and obtain solutions faster than with traditional architectures and solvers.
