On approximating four covering and packing problems
This article deals with application of covering and packing problems to biology. The focus is on the triangle packing, full sibling reconstruction, maximum profit coverage and 3-coverage. The authors's inapproximability constant improves the earlier results, while the results on full siblings reconstruction problem answer questions by Berge-Wolf et. al. A few other relevant problems of bioinformatics are discussed.
