The paper presents distributed and parallel -approximation algorithms for covering problems, where is the maximum number of variables on which any constraint depends (for example...
Several approximation algorithms with proven performance guarantees have been proposed to find approximate solutions to classical combinatorial optimization problems. However, the...
Important generalizations of the Vertex Cover problem (Connected Vertex Cover, Capacitated Vertex Cover, and Maximum Partial Vertex Cover) have been intensively studied in terms of...
Routing problems have been considered as central problems in the fields of transportation, distribution and logistics. LS(Graph) is a generic framework allowing to model and solve...
The Positive-Negative Partial Set Cover problem is introduced and its complexity, especially the hardness-of-approximation, is studied. The problem generalizes the Set Cover probl...
