Optimization problems in multiple subtree graphs
We study various optimization problems in t-subtree graphs, the intersection graphs of tsubtrees, where a t-subtree is the union of t disjoint subtrees of some tree. This graph cl...

On Approximating Four Covering and Packing Problems
In this paper, we consider approximability issues of the following four problems: triangle packing, full sibling reconstruction, maximum profit coverage and 2-coverage. All of th...

Approximation algorithms for partially covering with edges
The edge dominating set (EDS) and edge cover (EC) problems are classical graph covering problems in which one seeks a minimum cost collection of edges which covers the edges or ve...

How Well Can Primal-Dual and Local-Ratio Algorithms Perform?
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...

Connected Set Cover Problem and Its Applications
Abstract. We study an extension of the set cover problem, the connected set cover problem, the problem is to find a set cover of minimal size that satisfies some connectivity con...
