Terrain-like graphs: PTASs for guarding weakly-visible polygons and terrains

S Ashur, O Filtser, MJ Katz, R Saban - Computational Geometry, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract A graph G=(V, E) is terrain-like if one can assign a unique integer from the range
[1..| V|] to each vertex in V, such that, if both {i, k} and {j, l} are in E, for any i< j< k< l, then so is …

On the geometric set multicover problem

R Raman, S Ray - Discrete & Computational Geometry, 2022 - Springer
Abstract In the Set Multicover problem, we are given a set system (X, S), where X is a finite
ground set, and S is a collection of subsets of X. Each element x∈ X has a non-negative …

On partial covering for geometric set systems

T Inamdar, K Varadarajan - arXiv preprint arXiv:1711.04882, 2017 - arxiv.org
We study a generalization of the Set Cover problem called the\emph {Partial Set Cover} in
the context of geometric set systems. The input to this problem is a set system $(X,\mathcal …
