Better approximation algorithms for bin covering
Bin covering takes as input a list of items with sizes in (0 1) and places them into bins of unit demand so as to maximize the number of bins whose demand is satis ed. This is in ...

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...
