Title
Improved worst-case complexity for the MIN 3-SET COVERING problem
Abstract
We consider MIN SET COVERING when the subsets are constrained to have maximum cardinality 3. We propose an exact algorithm whose worst-case complexity is bounded above by O^*(1.3957^m), where m is the number of sets in the instance. This result improves upon the previously known bound of O^*(1.4391^m).
