contents We consider the celebrated bound introduced by Conforti and Cornuéjols (1984) for greedy schemes in submodular optimization. The bound assumes a submodular function defined on a collection of sets forming a matroid and is based on greedy curvature. We show that the bound holds for a very general class of string problems that includes maximizing submodular functions over set matroids as a special case. We also derive a bound that is computable in the sense that they depend only on quantities along the greedy trajectory. We prove that our bound is superior to the greedy curvature bound of Conforti and Cornuéjols. In addition, our bound holds under a condition that is weaker than submodularity.
