Geometric Set Cover via Randomized LP Rounding |
| Description: |
Mustafa Nabil Geometric set-cover/hitting-set problems arise naturally in several basic settings, and therefore the problem of computing small set covers (and hitting sets) has been studied extensively. A common first step in solving such optimization problems is to formulate and solve the corresponding covering/packing LP to get a fractional solution. Then the task reduces to constructing an integer solution from this fractional solution. In this talk, I will present a new simple iterative randomized rounding scheme that gives optimal approximation bounds, within constant factors, for many well-studied geometric systems. |
