The importance of being biased
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...

An Implicit Cover Problem in Wild Population Study
In an implicit combinatorial optimization problem, the constraints are not enumerated explicitly but rather stated implicitly through equations, other constraints or auxiliary alg...

Primal-Dual RNC Approximation Algorithms for Set Cover and Covering Integer Programs
We build on the classical greedy sequential set cover algorithm, in the spirit of the primal-dual schema, to obtain simple parallel approximation algorithms for the set cover probl...

Approximating the minimum clique cover and other hard problems in subtree filament graphs
Subtree filament graphs are the intersection graphs of subtree filaments in a tree. This class of graphs contains subtree overlap graphs, interval filament graphs, chordal graphs,...
