An r-component connected coloring of a graph is a coloring of the vertices so that each color class induces a subgraph having at most r connected components. The concept has been w...

We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
The edge dominating set (EDS) and edge cover (EC) problems are classical graph covering problems in which one seeks a minimum cost collection of edges which covers the edges or ve...
Abstract. Interest in role-based access control has generated considerable research activity in recent years. A number of interesting problems related to the well known set cover p...
To monitor an electric power system by placing as few phase measurement units (PMUs) as possible is closely related to the famous vertex cover problem and domination problem in gr...
