Abstract
This paper presents approximation algorithms for two prob-lpems. First, a randomized algorithm guaranteeing approximation ratio √n with high probability is proposed for the Max-Rep problem of [Kor98], or the Label-CoverMAX problem (cf. [Hoc95]), where n is the number of vertices in the graph. This algorithm is then generalized into a 4 √ n-ratio algorithm for the nonuniform version of the problem. Secondly, it is shown that the Red-Blue Set Cover problem of [CDKM00] can be ap-proximated with ratio 2 √ n log β, where n is the number of sets and n is the number of blue elements. Both algorithms can be adapted to the weighted variants of the respective problems, yielding the same approx-imation ratios.
