Abstract: We consider domination analysis of approximation algorithms for the bipartite boolean quadratic programming problem (BBQP) with m+n variables. A closed form formula is developed to compute the average objective function value A of all solutions in O(mn) time. However, computing the median objective function value of the solutions is shown to be NP-hard. Also, we show that any solution with objective function value no worse than A dominates at least 2^{m+n-2} solutions and this bound is the best possible. Further, we show that such a solution can be identified in O(mn) time and hence the dominance ratio of this algorithm is at least 1/4. We then show that for any fixed rational number a > 1, no polynomial time approximation algorithm exists for BBQP with dominance ratio larger than 1-2^{(m+n)(1-a)/a}, unless P=NP. We then analyze some powerful local search algorithms and show that they can get trapped at a local maximum with objective function value less than A. One of our approximation algorithms has an interesting rounding property which provides a data dependent lower bound on the optimal objective function value. A new integer programming formulation of BBQP is also given and computational results with our rounding algorithms are reported.
