We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...
Tomography deals with the reconstruction of images from their projections. In this paper we focus on tomographic reconstruction of binary images (i.e., black-and-white) that do not...
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...
The multiple weighted hitting set problem is to find a subset of nodes in a hypergraph that hits every hyperedge in at least m nodes. We extend the problem to a notion of hypergra...
Let S be a set of n points in IRd and let t > 1 be a real number. A t-spanner for S is a directed graph having the points of S as its vertices, such that for any pair p and q o...
