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,...

The Minimum-Entropy Set Cover Problem
We study graph orientations that minimize the entropy of the in-degree sequence. The problem of finding such an orientation is an interesting special case of the minimum entropy ...

The Minimum Generalized Vertex Cover Problem
Let G = (V, E) be an undirected graph, with three numbers d0(e) ≥ d1(e) ≥ d2(e) ≥ 0 for each edge e ∈ E. A solution is a subset U ⊆ V and di(e) represents the cost contr...

Planar Cycle Covering Graphs
We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...
