Improved Parallel Algorithm for Minimum Cost Submodular Cover Problem

Yingli Ran, Zhao Zhang, Shaojie Tang

Abstract: In the minimum cost submodular cover problem (MinSMC), we are given a monotone nondecreasing submodular function $f\colon 2^V \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+$, a linear cost function $c: V\rightarrow \mat...
