Non-monotone Submodular Optimization: p-Matchoid Constraints and Fully Dynamic Setting
Submodular maximization subject to a p-matchoid constraint has various applications in machine learning, particularly in tasks such as feature selection, video and text summarization, movie recommendation, graph-based learning, and constraintbased optimization. We study this problem in the dynamic setting, where a sequence of insertions and deletions of elements to a p-matchoid M(V,I) occurs over time and the goal is to efficiently maintain an approximate solution. We propose a dynamic algorithm for non-monotone submodular maximization under a p-matchoid constraint. For a p-matchoid M(V,I) of rank k, defined by a collection of m matroids, our algorithm guarantees a (2p +2 p p(p +1) +1 +ϵ)-approximate solution at any time t in the update sequence, with an expected amortized query complexity of O(ϵ 3 pk4 log2(k)) per update.

Submodular maximization under matroid and cardinality constraints are classical problems with a wide range of applications in machine learning, auction theory, and combinatorial optimization. In this paper, we consider these problems in the dynamic setting, where (1) we have oracle access to a monotone submodular function $f: 2^{V} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ and (2) we are given a sequence $\mathcal{S}$ of insertions and deletions of elements of an underlying ground set $V$. We develop the first fully dynamic $(4+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithm for the submodular maximization problem under the matroid constraint using an expected worst-case $O(k\log(k)\log^3{(k/\epsilon)})$ query complexity where $0 < \epsilon \le 1$. This resolves an open problem of Chen and Peng (STOC'22) and Lattanzi et al. (NeurIPS'20). As a byproduct, for the submodular maximization under the cardinality constraint $k$, we propose a parameterized (by the cardinality constraint $k$) dynamic algorithm that maintains a $(2+\epsilon)$-approximate solution of the sequence $\mathcal{S}$ at any time $t$ using an expected worst-case query complexity $O(k\epsilon^{-1}\log^2(k))$. This is the first dynamic algorithm for the problem that has a query complexity independent of the size of ground set $V$.
