A Survey on Capacitated Covering and Related Problems

Abstract

The Capacitated Covering Problem is a natural generalization of classical covering problems that takes quantified demand-to-supply assignment model into consideration. In recent years, this problem has received more and more attention, and a rich body of research progress has been made not only on this problem itself but also on its natural extensions and variations. In this paper we present a literature survey on the capacitated covering problem and the research progress that has been made.
