Approximating Maximum Weight Cycle Covers in Directed Graphs with Weights Zero and One
A cycle cover of a graph is a spanning subgraph each node of which is part of exactly one simple cycle. A k-cycle cover is a cycle cover where each cycle has length at least k. Gi...

Vertex Cover Approximations: Experiments and Observations
The vertex cover problem is a classic NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is roughly 2. In this paper, we use a collection of simple reductions, e...

Private Approximation of Clustering and Vertex Cover
Private approximation of search problems deals with finding approximate solutions to search problems while disclosing as little information as possible. The focus of this work is ...

Solving minones-2-sat as Fast as vertex cover
The problem of finding a satisfying assignment for a 2-SAT formula that minimizes the number of variables that are set to 1 (min ones 2–sat) is NP-complete. It generalizes the w...

Covering Problems with Hard Capacities
We consider the classical vertex cover and set cover problems with the addition of hard capacity constraints. This means that a set (vertex) can only cover a limited number of its...
