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...

We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...

We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...

Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...

We discuss two approximation approaches, the primal-dual schema and the local-ratio technique. We present two relatively simple frameworks, one for each approach, which extend know...
