Parameterized Complexity of Generalized Vertex Cover Problems
Important generalizations of the Vertex Cover problem (Connected Vertex Cover, Capacitated Vertex Cover, and Maximum Partial Vertex Cover) have been intensively studied in terms of...

A Unifying Approach to Hard and Probabilistic Clustering
We derive the clustering problem from first principles showing that the goal of achieving a probabilistic, or ”hard”, multi class clustering result is equivalent to the algeb...

Distributed and parallel algorithms for weighted vertex cover and other covering problems
The paper presents distributed and parallel -approximation algorithms for covering problems, where is the maximum number of variables on which any constraint depends (for example...

Approximation algorithms for partially covering with edges
The edge dominating set (EDS) and edge cover (EC) problems are classical graph covering problems in which one seeks a minimum cost collection of edges which covers the edges or ve...

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...
