Improved Performance of the Greedy Algorithm for the Minimum Set Cover and Minimum Partial Cover Problems

We establish significantly improved bounds on the performance of the greedy
algorithm for approximating MINIMUM SET COVER and MINIMUM PARTIAL COVER. Our
improvements result from a new approach to both problems. In particular,
(a) we improve the known bound on the performance ratio of the greedy ... more >>>
