Explicit Inapproximability Bounds for the Shortest Superstring Problem
Abstract. Given a set of strings S = {s1, . . . , sn}, the Shortest Superstring problem asks for the shortest string s which contains each si as a substring. We consider two measur...

The Minimum-Entropy Set Cover Problem
We study graph orientations that minimize the entropy of the in-degree sequence. The problem of finding such an orientation is an interesting special case of the minimum entropy ...

k-Center Problems with Minimum Coverage
In this work, we study an extension of the k-center facility location problem, where centers are required to service a minimum of clients. This problem is motivated by requirement...
