Covering and Packing in Linear Space
Abstract. Given a family of subsets of an n-element universe, the kcover problem asks whether there are k sets in the family whose union contains the universe; in the k-packing pro...

Online Primal-Dual Algorithms for Covering and Packing Problems
We study a wide range of online covering and packing optimization problems. In an online covering problem a linear cost function is known in advance, but the linear constraints th...

A Survey on Packing and Covering Problems in the Hamming Permutation Space
Consider the symmetric group Sn equipped with the Hamming metric dH . Packing and covering problems in the finite metric space (Sn, dH ) are surveyed, including a combination of b...

Sequential and Parallel Algorithms for Mixed Packing and Covering
We describe sequential and parallel algorithms that approximately solve linear programs with no negative coefficients (a.k.a. mixed packing and covering problems). For explicitly ...
