Abstract

Set Cover is one of the well-known classical NP-hard problems. Following some recent trends, we study the conflict-free version of the Set Cover problem. Here we have a universe U, a family F of subsets of U and a graph GF on the vertex set F and we look for a subfamily F⊆ F of minimum size that covers U and also forms an independent set in GF. Here we initiate a systematic study of the problem in parameterized complexity by restricting the focus to the variants where Set Cover is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT). We give upper bounds and lower bounds for conflict-free version of the Set Cover with and without duplicate sets along with restrictions to the graph classes of GF.
