Give an approximation factor preserving reduction from the set cover problem to the following problem, thereby showing that it is unlikely to have a better approximation guarantee than O(log n).
Prove the following problem is NPC: Given n sets S1,...,Sn, can we find a set A with size at most k, so that ∀i, Si ∩ A ̸= ∅ ?
The sum-of-subsets problem is the following: Given a sequence a1 , a2 ,..., an of integers, and an integer M, is there a subset J of {1,2,...,n} such that i∈J ai = M?
Show that this problem is NP-complete by constructing a reduction from the exact cover problem.
