Abstract We present exact and approximation algorithms for the weighted matroid intersection problems. Our exact algorithms are faster than previous algorithms when the largest weight is relatively small. Our ...approximation algorithms deliver a (1-∈)-approximate solution with running times significantly faster than known exact algorithms. The core of our algorithms is a decomposition technique: we decompose the weighted version of the problem into a set of unweighted matroid intersection problems. The computational advantage of this approach is that we can then make use of fast unweighted matroid intersection algorithms as a black box for designing algorithms. To be precise, we show that we can find an exact solution via solving W unweighted matroid intersections problems, where W is the largest given weight. Furthermore, we can find a (1-∈)-approximate solution via solving O(∈^{-1} log r) unweighted matroid intersection problems, where r is the smallest rank of the given two matroids.show more
