An Efficient Distributed Algorithm for Computing Minimal Hitting Sets
Computing minimal hitting sets for a collection of sets is an important problem in many domains (e.g., Spectrum-based Fault Localization). Being an NP-Hard problem, exhaustive algorithms are usually prohibitive for real-world, often large, problems. In practice, the usage of heuristic based approaches trade-off completeness for time efficiency. An example of such heuristic approaches is STACCAT...
متن کاملA Statistics-directed Minimal Hitting Set Algorithm ⋆
Generating minimal hitting sets of a collection of sets is known to be NPhard, necessitating heuristic approaches to handle large problems. In this paper a low-cost, approximate minimal hitting set (MHS) algorithm, coined Staccato, is presented. Staccato uses a heuristic function, borrowed from a lightweight, statistics-based software fault localization approach, to guide the MHS search. Given ...
متن کاملAn Improved Fixed-Parameter Algorithm for Minimum-Flip Consensus Trees
In computational phylogenetics, the problem of constructing a consensus tree for a given set of input trees has frequently been addressed. In this paper we study the Minimum-Flip Problem: the input trees are transformed into a binary matrix, and we want to find a perfect phylogeny for this matrix using a minimum number of flips, that is, corrections of single entries in the matrix. In its graph...
متن کاملAn Improved Fixed-Parameter Algorithm for Vertex Cover
The VERTEX COVER problem asks, for input consisting of a graph G on n vertices, and a positive integer k, whether there is a set of k vertices such that every edge of G is incident with at least one of these vertices. We give an algorithm for this problem that runs in time O(kn + (1.324718)'k'). In particular, this gives an 0((1.324718) " n2) algorithm to find the minimum vertex cover in the gr...
متن کاملNew Approaches for Efficient Solution of Hitting Set Problem
A new method for solving the hitting set problem is proposed. This method is based on the mapping of the problem onto an integer programming optimization problem. This new approach provides an algorithm with much better performance compare to the algorithms for the bitting set problem that currently are used for solving the diagnosis problem. The relation of this approach with the satisfiabilit...
