Evolutionary Algorithms for Vertex Cover
This paper reports work investigating various evolutionary approaches to vertex cover (VC), a well-known NP-Hard optimization problem. Central to each of the algorithms is a novel ...

Algorithms for two-box covering
We study the problem of covering a set of points or polyhedra in 3 with two axis-aligned boxes in order to minimize a function of the measures of the two boxes, such as the sum or...

NP-completeness and FPT Results for Rectilinear Covering Problems
Abstract: This paper discusses three rectilinear (that is, axis-parallel) covering problems in d dimensions and their variants. The first problem is the Rectilinear Line Cover whe...

A polynomial solution to the k-fixed-endpoint path cover problem on proper interval graphs
: We study a variant of the path cover problem, namely, the k-fixed-endpoint path cover problem, or kPC for short. Given a graph G and a subset T of k vertices of V (G), a k-fixe...

Thresholded Covering Algorithms for Robust and Max-min Optimization
The general problem of robust optimization is this: one of several possible scenarios will appear tomorrow, but things are more expensive tomorrow than they are today. What should...
