摘要

We consider generalizations of the \(k\) -Center problem in graphs of low doubling and highway dimension. For the Capacitated \(k\) -Supplier with Outliers (CkSwO) problem, we show an efficient parameterized approximation scheme (EPAS) when the parameters are  \(k\) , the number of outliers and the doubling dimension of the graph induced by the supplier set. On the other hand, we show that for the Capacitated \(k\) -Center problem, which is a special case of CkSwO, obtaining a parameterized approximation scheme (PAS) is  \(\mathsf {W[1]}\) -hard when the parameters are  \(k\) , and the highway dimension. This is the first known example of a problem for which it is hard to obtain a PAS for highway dimension, while simultaneously admitting an EPAS for doubling dimension.
