Abstract
In this paper, we concentrate on studying the [Formula: see text]-means problem with a matroid or a knapsack constraint. In the matroid means problem, given an observation set and a matroid, the goal is to find a center set from the independent sets to minimize the cost. By using the linear programming [Formula: see text]-rounding technology, we obtain a constant approximation guarantee. For the knapsack means problem, we adopt a similar strategy to that of matroid means problem, whereas the difference is that we add a knapsack covering inequality to the relaxed LP in order to decrease the unbounded integrality gap.
