Decomposing Coverings and the Planar Sensor Cover Problem
We show that a k-fold covering using translates of an arbitrary convex polygon can be decomposed into Omega(k) covers (using an efficient algorithm). We generalize this result to ...

Restricted Strip Covering and the Sensor Cover Problem
Suppose we are given a set of objects that cover a region and a duration associated with each object. Viewing the objects as jobs, can we schedule their beginning times to maximiz...

Approximation Algorithms for Partial Covering Problems
We study the generalization of covering problems to partial covering. Here we wish to cover only a desired number of elements, rather than covering all elements as in standard cov...

Complexity and Approximation Results for the Connected Vertex Cover Problem
We study a variation of the vertex cover problem where it is required that the graph induced by the vertex cover is connected. We prove that this problem is polynomial in chordal g...

Cover Set Problem in Directional Sensor Networks
— A directional sensor network consists of a number of directional sensors, which can switch to several directions to extend their sensing ability to cover the interested targets...
