Abstract

In this section we will see an f-approximation algorithm for the Set Cover problem where f is the maximum number of times any element of the universe appears in the sets. Set Cover Input: A universe U = {u1, u2,..., um}, a collection S = {S1, S2,..., Sn} of subsets of U and a cost function c: S → R + ∪ {0} Goal: To find a minimum cost S ′ ⊆ S such that U = ⋃ S∈S ′ S Consider the following integer program which solves the Set Cover problem. subject to n∑ min c(Sj)xj j=1 ∀ i ∈ [m], xj ≥ 1 ui∈Sj ∀ j ∈ [n], xj ∈ {0, 1}
