Description

Given a universe $U$, i.e. a set of elements $\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$, and a collection $S$ of $m$ sets whose union is the universe, identify the smallest sub-collection of $S$ whose union is the universe.

Related Problems

Generalizations: Weighted Set-Covering

Parameters

U: the universe of elements to be covered

S: the collection of sets

n: number of elements in the universe

m: number of sets in the collection

H(x): the xth Harmonic number
