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
In a recent paper Chekuri and Khanna improved the analysis of the greedy algorithm for the edge disjoint paths problem and proved the same bounds also for the related uniform capacity unsplittable flow problem. Here we show that their ideas can be used to get the same approximation ratio even for th
