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...

Strategyproof cost-sharing mechanisms for set cover and facility location games
Strategyproof cost-sharing mechanisms, lying in the core, that recover 1/a fraction of the cost, are presented for the set cover and facility location games: a=O(log n) for the fo...

Approximating covering problems by randomized search heuristics using multi-objective models
The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

On Approximating Four Covering and Packing Problems
In this paper, we consider approximability issues of the following four problems: triangle packing, full sibling reconstruction, maximum profit coverage and 2-coverage. All of th...

Near-Linear Time Construction of Sparse Neighborhood Covers
This paper introduces a near-linear time sequential algorithm for constructing a sparse neighborhood cover. This implies analogous improvements (from quadratic to near-linear time)...
