Inapproximability of Hypergraph Vertex Cover and Applications to Scheduling Problems
Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC), we show optimal inapproximability results for two classic scheduling problems. We obtain a hardness of 2 − ε for the problem of mini...

The Complexity of the Covering Radius Problem on Lattices and Codes
We initiate the study of the computational complexity of the covering radius problem for point lattices, and approximation versions of the problem for both lattices and linear cod...

Alternative techniques to solve hard multi-objective optimization problems
In this paper, we propose the combination of different optimization techniques in order to solve “hard” two- and threeobjective optimization problems at a relatively low comp...

On the Covering Steiner Problem
The Covering Steiner problem is a common generalization of the k-MST and Group Steiner problems. An instance of the Covering Steiner problem consists of an undirected graph with ed...

Red-blue covering problems and the consecutive ones property
Set Cover problems are of core importance in many applications. In recent research, the "red-blue variants" where blue elements all need to be covered whereas red elemen...
