Given a collection C of weighted subsets of a ground set E, the set cover problem is to find a minimum weight subset of C which covers all elements of E. We study a strategic game ...

Abstract. We consider a generalization of the set cover problem, in which elements are covered by pairs of objects, and we are required to find a minimum cost subset of objects th...
