Covering Problems with Hard Capacities
We consider the classical vertex cover and set cover problems with the addition of hard capacity constraints. This means that a set (vertex) can only cover a limited number of its...

Polynomial time approximation schemes for minimum disk cover problems
The following planar minimum disk cover problem is considered in this paper: given a set D of n disks and a set P of m points in the Euclidean plane, where each disk covers a subse...

Primal-Dual RNC Approximation Algorithms for Set Cover and Covering Integer Programs
We build on the classical greedy sequential set cover algorithm, in the spirit of the primal-dual schema, to obtain simple parallel approximation algorithms for the set cover probl...

Covering a Tree by a Forest
Consider a tree T and a forest F. The paper discusses the following new problems: The Forest vertex-cover problem (FVC): cover the vertices of T by a minimum number of copies of tr...

Fast distributed approximation algorithms for vertex cover and set cover in anonymous networks
We present a distributed algorithm that finds a maximal edge packing in O(∆ + log∗ W) synchronous communication rounds in a weighted graph, independent of the number of nodes...
