Abstract

Covering problems are fundamental
classical problems in optimization, computer science and complexity
theory. Typically an input to these problems is a family of sets over
a finite universe and the goal is to cover the elements of the
universe with as few sets of the family as possible.
The variations of covering problems
include well known problems like Set Cover, Vertex Cover,
Dominating Set and Facility Location to name a few. Recently
there has been a lot of study on partial covering problems, a
natural generalization of covering problems. Here, the goal is not to
cover all the elements but to cover the specified number of
elements with the minimum number of sets.
