We prove that the classical bounds on the performance of the greedy algorithm for approximating MINIMUM COVER with costs are valid for PARTIAL. COVER as well, thus lowering, by more than a factor of two, the previously known estimate. In order to do so, we introduce a new simple technique that might

We establish significantly improved bounds on the performance of the greedy algorithm for approximating set co¨er. In particular, we provide the first substantial Ž . improvement of the 20-year-old classical harmonic upper bound, H m , of Johnson, Lovasz, and Chvatal, by showing that the performance
In this paper, we consider a greedy algorithm for thickness of graphs. The greedy algorithm we consider here takes a maximum planar subgraph away from the current graph in each iteration and repeats this process until the current graph has no edge. The greedy algorithm outputs the number of iteratio
