Maintaining a large matching and a small vertex cover
We consider the problem of maintaining a large matching and a small vertex cover in a dynamically changing graph. Each update to the graph is either an edge deletion or an edge in...

On Tractable Cases of Target Set Selection
We study the NP-complete TARGET SET SELECTION (TSS) problem occurring in social network analysis. Complementing results on its approximability and extending results for its restric...

A Primal-Dual Bicriteria Distributed Algorithm for Capacitated Vertex Cover
In this paper we consider the capacitated vertex cover problem which is the variant of vertex cover where each node is allowed to cover a limited number of edges. We present an ef...

Subexponential Algorithms for Partial Cover Problems
Partial Cover problems are optimization versions of fundamental and well studied problems like Vertex Cover and Dominating Set. Here one is interested in covering (or dominating) ...

Frugality ratios and improved truthful mechanisms for vertex cover
In set-system auctions, there are several overlapping teams of agents, and a task that can be completed by any of these teams. The auctioneer's goal is to hire a team and pay...
