An Almost Linear Time 2.8334-Approximation Algorithm for the Disc Covering Problem
The disc covering problem asks to cover a set of points on the plane with a minimum number of fix-sized discs. We develop an O(n(log n)2 (log log n)2 ) deterministic time 2.8334-a...

Tight Results on Minimum Entropy Set Cover
In the minimum entropy set cover problem, one is given a collection of k sets which collectively cover an n-element ground set. A feasible solution of the problem is a partition o...

On Approximating an Implicit Cover Problem in Biology
Abstract. In an implicit combinatorial optimization problem, the constraints are not enumerated explicitly but rather stated implicitly through equations, other constraints or auxi...

A Threshold of ln n for Approximating Set Cover
Given a collection Ᏺ of subsets of S ϭ {1, . . . , n}, set cover is the problem of selecting as few as possible subsets from Ᏺ such that their union covers S, and max k-cover ...
