Bucket Game with Applications to Set Multicover and Dynamic Page Migration
We present a simple two-person Bucket Game, based on throwing balls into buckets, and we discuss possible players’ strategies. We use these strategies to create an approximation ...

The 1-Fixed-Endpoint Path Cover Problem is Polynomial on Interval Graphs
Abstract We consider a variant of the path cover problem, namely, the k-fixedendpoint path cover problem, or kPC for short, on interval graphs. Given a graph G and a subset T of k ...
