Approximation Algorithms to Minimum Vertex Cover Problems on Polygons and Terrains
We propose an anytime algorithm to compute successively better approximations of the optimum of Minimum Vertex Guard. Though the presentation is focused on polygons, the work may b...

Approximating covering problems by randomized search heuristics using multi-objective models
The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

An approximation algorithm for the least overlapping p-Frame problem with non-partial coverage for networked robotic cameras
Abstract— We report our algorithmic development of the pframe problem that addresses the need of coordinating a set of p networked robotic pan-tilt-zoom cameras for n, (n > p)...
