In recent years, approximation algorithms based on randomized rounding of fractional optimal solutions have been applied to several classes of discrete optimization problems. In t...
We show that a k-fold covering using translates of an arbitrary convex polygon can be decomposed into Omega(k) covers (using an efficient algorithm). We generalize this result to ...
Suppose we are given a set of objects that cover a region and a duration associated with each object. Viewing the objects as jobs, can we schedule their beginning times to maximiz...

Important generalizations of the Vertex Cover problem (Connected Vertex Cover, Capacitated Vertex Cover, and Maximum Partial Vertex Cover) have been intensively studied in terms of...
