Abstract
The BP problem maximizes the sum of a suBmodular function and a suPermodular function(BP) subject to some constraints, where both functions are nonnegative and monotonic. This problem has been widely studied under the single-stage setting. In this paper, we consider a variant of the BP maximization problem. The problem is a two-stage BP maximization problem subject to a p-matroid constraint, for which we propose an approximation algorithm with constant approximation ratio parameterized by the curvatures of the two functions involved.
