We study linear programming relaxations of Vertex Cover and Max Cut arising from repeated applications of the "lift-and-project" method of Lovasz and Schrijver starting ...
We work in D[< 0 ]. Given the jump class of any (Turing) degree a, the jump classes of the minimal covers of a is a matter which is entirely settled unless a is high2. We show t...
We present a decomposition formula for the weighted zeta function of an irregular covering of a graph by its weighted L-functions. Moreover, we give a factorization of the weighte...
The thinnest coverings of ellipsoids are studied in the Euclidean spaces of an arbitrary dimension n. Given any ellipsoid, our goal is to find the minimum number of unit balls nee...
Application of covering codes to data embedding improves embedding efficiency and security of steganographic schemes. In this paper, we describe several familes of covering codes c...
