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...

A PTAS for a Disc Covering Problem Using Width-Bounded Separators
In this paper, we study the following disc covering problem: Given a set of discs of various radii on the plane, find a subset of discs to maximize the area covered by exactly on...

Analysis of population-based evolutionary algorithms for the vertex cover problem
— Recently it has been proved that the (1+1)-EA produces poor worst-case approximations for the vertex cover problem. In this paper the result is extended to the (1+λ)-EA by pro...

Inapproximability of Hypergraph Vertex Cover and Applications to Scheduling Problems
Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture (UGC), we show optimal inapproximability results for two classic scheduling problems. We obtain a hardness of 2 − ε for the problem of mini...
