A Unified Approach to Approximating Partial Covering Problems
An instance of the generalized partial cover problem consists of a ground set U and a family of subsets S 2U . Each element e U is associated with a profit p(e), whereas each su...

Approximating covering problems by randomized search heuristics using multi-objective models
The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

On Covering Problems of Rado
T. Rado conjectured in 1928 that if S is a finite set of axis-parallel squares in the plane, then there exists an independent subset I S of pairwise disjoint squares, such that I ...

The Pipelined Set Cover Problem
Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...

Solving large Steiner Triple Covering Problems
Computing the 1-width of the incidence matrix of a Steiner Triple System gives rise to small set covering instances that provide a computational challenge for integer programming ...
