The minimum consistent subset cover problem and its applications in data mining
In this paper, we introduce and study the Minimum Consistent Subset Cover (MCSC) problem. Given a finite ground set X and a constraint t, find the minimum number of consistent sub...

Negative thinking by incremental problem solving: application to unate covering
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

Distributed algorithms for covering, packing and maximum weighted matching
Abstract This paper gives poly-logarithmic-round, distributed δ-approximation algorithms for covering problems with submodular cost and monotone covering constraints (Submodular-c...

The Bidimensional Theory of Bounded-Genus Graphs
Abstract. Bidimensionality provides a tool for developing subexponential fixed-parameter algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems on graph families that exclude a minor....

Bidimensionality and Kernels
Bidimensionality theory appears to be a powerful framework in the development of meta-algorithmic techniques. It was introduced by Demaine et al. [J. ACM 2005 ] as a tool to obtai...
