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...

Constant-Factor Approximation for Minimum-Weight (Connected) Dominating Sets in Unit Disk Graphs
For a given graph with weighted vertices, the goal of the minimum-weight dominating set problem is to compute a vertex subset of smallest weight such that each vertex of the graph...

A Better Approximation Ratio for the Vertex Cover Problem
We reduce the approximation factor for Vertex Cover to 2 − Θ( 1√ log n ) (instead of the previous 2 − Θ(log log n log n ), obtained by Bar-Yehuda and Even [2], and by Moni...

A Unified Approach to Approximating Partial Covering Problems
An instance of the generalized partial cover problem consists of a ground set U and a family of subsets S 2U . Each element e U is associated with a profit p(e), whereas each su...

Deploying Mesh Nodes under Non-Uniform Propagation
Abstract—Wireless mesh networks are popular as a costeffective means to provide broadband connectivity to large user populations. A mesh network placement provides coverage, such...
