Covering minimum spanning trees of random subgraphs
We consider the problem of finding a sparse set of edges containing the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a random subgraph of G with high probability. The two random models that we ...

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...

Competitive Group Testing and Learning Hidden Vertex Covers with Minimum Adaptivity
Suppose that we are given a set of n elements d of which are “defective”. A group test can check for any subset, called a pool, whether it contains a defective. It is well know...

An Approximation Algorithm for the Minimum Latency Set Cover Problem
The input to the minimum latency set cover problem (MLSC) consists of a set of jobs and a set of tools. Each job j needs a specific subset Sj of the tools in order to be processed...
