On-line and O -line Approximation Algorithms for Vector Covering Problems
This paper deals with vector covering problems in d-dimensional space. The input to a vector covering problem consists of a set X of d-dimensional vectors in 0; 1] d. The goal is to partition X into a maximum number of parts, subject to the constraint that in every part the sum of all vectors is at least one in every coordinate. This problem is known to be NP-complete, and we are mainly interes...
متن کاملGreedy algorithms for on-line set-covering and related problems
We study the following on-line model for set-covering: elements of a ground set of size n arrive one-by-one and with any such element ci, arrives also the name of some set Si0 containing ci and covering the most of the uncovered ground set-elements (obviously, these elements have not been yet revealed). For this model we analyze a simple greedy algorithm consisting of taking Si0 into the cover,...
متن کاملGreedy Algorithms For On-Line Set-Covering
We study on-line models for the set-covering problem in which items from a ground set arrive one by one and with any such item c, the list of names of sets that contain it in the final instance is also presented possibly together with some information regarding the content of such sets. A decision maker has to select which set, among the sets containing c, has to be put in the solution in order...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Partial Covering Problems
We study a generalization of covering problems called partial covering. Here we wish to cover only a desired number of elements, rather than covering all elements as in standard covering problems. For example, in k-partial set cover, we wish to choose a minimum number of sets to cover at least k elements. For k-partial set cover, if each element occurs in at most f sets, then we derive a primal...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Covering and Packing Problems on Paths
Routing and scheduling problems are fundamental problems in combinatorial optimization, and also have many applications. Most variations of these problems are NP-Hard, so we need to use heuristics to solve these problems on large instances, which are fast and yet come close to the optimal value. In this thesis, we study the design and analysis of approximation algorithms for such problems. We f...
