An Approximation Algorithm for Weighted Weak Vertex Cover Problem in Undirected Graphs
The problem of efficiently monitoring the network flow is regarded as the one to find out the minimum weighted weak vertex cover set for a given graph G = (V, E) with weight func...

Approximation algorithms and hardness results for labeled connectivity problems
Let G = (V, E) be a connected multigraph, whose edges are associated with labels specified by an integer-valued function L : E → N. In addition, each label ℓ ∈ N has a non-...

Approximating node connectivity problems via set covers
Given a graph (directed or undirected) with costs on the edges, and an integer k, we consider the problem of nding a k-node connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost. For the ge...

Analysis of Approximation Algorithms for k-Set Cover Using Factor-Revealing Linear Programs
We present new combinatorial approximation algorithms for k-set cover. Previous approaches are based on extending the greedy algorithm by efficiently handling small sets. The new a...
