The page has been marked as potentially confusing or unclear. Please comment below on what about the article is confusing or unclear, and I will edit it to try to clarify. Nealeyoung (talk) 02:19, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi, There was one mistake in algorithm, I have corrected it. The mistake was in section "Randomized-rounding algorithm for Set Cover" algorithm step number 2 definition of p_s. It is actually minimum of lambda*(x_s)^* and 1, but instead of minimum, it was mistakenly written maximum. So I have corrected it. Deepak Jeswani 202.3.77.11 (talk) 03:21, 29 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

"The challenge in the first step is to choose a suitable integer linear program. (For example, the integer linear program should have a small integrality gap.) This challenge is not discussed here."

If it's a challenge AND the first step, maybe you ought to discuss it, at least a bit. The reference to integrality gap makes a circular reference back to this article. Encyclopedias should at least try, better yet strive to give an approximate verbal idea, give some fair, if imperfect analogy so certain readers can be satisified without having to chase links into deeper and deeper water. If they want to go deeper, they still have the link. For some topics, some lines of reasoning, that may not be practical or even possible, but if you can think hard to come up with something, do so. But mathematicians are often so embedded in their ways that they are blinded by the satisfaction with their own understanding. All too common in the Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.81.29.81 (talk) 21:30, 17 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
