Abstract: Introduction We start with the set cover( SC ) problem. Given a finite set M and a family N of subsets of M , a subfamily S of N is called a set cover if every element of M appears in some subset in S; in other words, the union of all subsets in S coincides with M . Each set in N is associated with a (U"C2T0"'# e) cost, and the cost of a family is the sum of costs of subsets in it. The set cover problem then asks to find a minimum cost set cover. As a special case when all the costs... (Update)
