On the Inapproximability of Vertex Cover on k-Partite k-Uniform Hypergraphs
Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...

Linear Problem Kernels for NP-Hard Problems on Planar Graphs
Abstract. We develop a generic framework for deriving linear-size problem kernels for NP-hard problems on planar graphs. We demonstrate the usefulness of our framework in several c...

A Primal-Dual Approximation Algorithm for Partial Vertex Cover: Making Educated Guesses
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...

Succinct Orthogonal Range Search Structures on a Grid with Applications to Text Indexing
We present a succinct representation of a set of n points on an n × n grid using n lg n + o(n lg n) bits3 to support orthogonal range counting in O(lg n/ lg lg n) time, and range ...

On the set multi-cover problem in geometric settings
We consider the set multi-cover problem in geometric settings. Given a set of points P and a collection of geometric shapes (or sets) F, we wish to nd a minimum cardinality subse...
