We consider the variant of the minimum vertex cover problem in which we require that the cover induces a connected subgraph. We give new approximation results for this problem in d...
Abstract. The vertex cover problem is a classical NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is 2− o(1). In this paper, we use a collection of simple g...
We investigate the following translational 2D polygon covering problem: for a collection of covering polygons and a target point (or polygon) set, decide if the covering polygons ...
A cycle cover of a graph is a set of cycles such that every vertex is part of exactly one cycle. An L-cycle cover is a cycle cover in which the length of every cycle is in the set ...
We present the first polynomial-time algorithm for computing the minimal covering set of a (weak) tournament. The algorithm draws upon a linear programming formulation of a subset...
