Interesting theoretical results
Optimality properties
Instance Optimality

If wild guesses are not allowed, and the size of each group is treated as
a constant, then ULA and ULA+ are instance-optimal.
for every instance there exist two constants a and b
such that cost(A) <= a*cost(A’) + b
The upper bound of the optimality ratio is tight
Interesting theoretical results (Cont.)
Optimality properties
No Instance Optimal Algorithms

If wild guesses are allowed, Then there is no deterministic algorithm that is
instance-optimal.
