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...
Different generalizations to the case of coverings of the standard approach to entropy applied to partitions of a finite universe X are explored. In the first approach any cover...
In this paper, we introduce and study the Minimum Consistent Subset Cover (MCSC) problem. Given a finite ground set X and a constraint t, find the minimum number of consistent sub...

Background: The question of how a circle or line segment becomes covered when random arcs are marked off has arisen repeatedly in bioinformatics. The number of uncovered gaps is o...

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...
