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...

We provide the first hardness result for the Covering Radius Problem on lattices (CRP). Namely, we show that for any large enough p there exists a constant cp > 1 such that C...
constraint bipartite vertex cover is a graph-theoretical formalization of the spare allocation problem for reconfigurable arrays. We report on an implementation of a parameterized ...
We present a polynomial time algorithm for the unit disk covering problem with an approximation factor 72, and show that this is the best possible approximation factor based on th...
Given a universe U of n elements and a weighted collection S of m subsets of U, the universal set cover problem is to a-priori map each element u ∈ U to a set S(u) ∈ S contain...
