    Abstract

    We study the problem of maximizing constrained non-monotone submodular
    functions and provide approximation algorithms that improve existing algorithms
    in terms of either the approximation factor or simplicity. Our algorithms
    combine existing local search and greedy based algorithms. Different
    constraints that we study are (exact) cardinality and knapsack constraints. For
    the multiple-knapsack constraints we achieve a $(\frac{1}{4}-3\epsilon)$-factor
    algorithm.
