The problem of finding a satisfying assignment for a 2-SAT formula that minimizes the number of variables that are set to 1 (min ones 2–sat) is NP-complete. It generalizes the w...

Private approximation of search problems deals with finding approximate solutions to search problems while disclosing as little information as possible. The focus of this work is ...
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...
We study the partial capacitated vertex cover problem (pcvc) in which the input consists of a graph G and a covering requirement L. Each edge e in G is associated with a demand (o...
Suppose that we are given a set of n elements d of which are “defective”. A group test can check for any subset, called a pool, whether it contains a defective. It is well know...
