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...
Abstract. We study an extension of the set cover problem, the connected set cover problem, the problem is to find a set cover of minimal size that satisfies some connectivity con...
Octagonal Steiner Minimal Trees (OSMTs) are used in the global routing phase of pervasive octagonal VLSI layout. The OSMT problem seeks a minimal length spanning structure using e...
Abstract. Interest in role-based access control has generated considerable research activity in recent years. A number of interesting problems related to the well known set cover p...
An instance of the generalized partial cover problem consists of a ground set U and a family of subsets S 2U . Each element e U is associated with a profit p(e), whereas each su...
