Title
Russian doll search for the Steiner triple covering problem.
Abstract
Russian doll search is applied to finding maximum independent sets in hypergraphs, focusing on a particular subproblem of the hitting set problem, the Steiner triple covering problem. An instance denoted A 135 is solved considerably faster with Russian doll search than with integer linear programming and a state-of-the-art optimization tool (using otherwise a similar established approach to split the problem into subproblems). In addition, the improvement in speed makes it possible to carry out a search proving that all optimal solutions for A 135 are isomorphic.
