Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Ek-Vertex-Cover problem is to find the smallest subset of vertices that intersects every hyperedge. We present a new multilayered PCP constructi...
In this paper we consider the weighted, capacitated vertex cover problem with hard capacities (capVC). Here, we are given an undirected graph G = (V, E), non-negative vertex weigh...
In this paper we present a minimum sphere covering approach to pattern classification that seeks to construct a minimum number of spheres to represent the training data and formul...
For a set of n points in the plane, we consider the axis–aligned (p, k)-Box Covering problem: Find p axis-aligned, pairwise-disjoint boxes that together contain at least n − k...

Given a universe U of n elements and a weighted collection S of m subsets of U, the universal set cover problem is to a-priori map each element u ∈ U to a set S(u) ∈ S contain...
