Linear programming Set cover problem with no overlap












0












$begingroup$


The classical set cover problem admits overlapping (the following is the relaxed form):



$min sum_{S in mathcal{S}} c(S)x(S)$

s.t
$sum_{S: e in S} x(S) geq 1 forall e in U$
$x(S) in [0,1] S in mathcal{S}$



Is there a way to have no overlap of element?



I know that problem of set packing can do the job, the problem is that I want to minimize the total cost (weight) and the maximum set packing problem is the following:



$max sum_{S in mathcal{S}} c(S)x(S)$

s.t
$sum_{S: e in S} x(S) leq 1 forall e in U$
$x(S) in [0,1] S in mathcal{S}$



It maximize the total cost in this way and it seems not what I need.

    It's of course possible to have no overlap if you set your constraint to = 1 and make whatever solver you are using respect it. You can read about the problem in wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_cover . I think for these questions you'd be better of asking in other SE sites such as compsci or math.
