Computing Approximate Solutions of the Maximum Covering Problem with GRASP
We consider the maximum covering problem, a combinatorial optimization problem that arises in many facility location problems. In this problem, a potential facility site covers a s...

Solving minones-2-sat as Fast as vertex cover
The problem of finding a satisfying assignment for a 2-SAT formula that minimizes the number of variables that are set to 1 (min ones 2–sat) is NP-complete. It generalizes the w...

Algorithms for two-box covering
We study the problem of covering a set of points or polyhedra in 3 with two axis-aligned boxes in order to minimize a function of the measures of the two boxes, such as the sum or...

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...

Weighted Sum Coloring in Batch Scheduling of Conflicting Jobs
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
