A PTAS for a Disc Covering Problem Using Width-Bounded Separators
In this paper, we study the following disc covering problem: Given a set of discs of various radii on the plane, find a subset of discs to maximize the area covered by exactly on...

An Almost Linear Time 2.8334-Approximation Algorithm for the Disc Covering Problem
The disc covering problem asks to cover a set of points on the plane with a minimum number of fix-sized discs. We develop an O(n(log n)2 (log log n)2 ) deterministic time 2.8334-a...
