Abstract
Given a set S, two collections C r and C b of non-empty subsets of S and a positive integer k < |S|, the minimum degree hypergraph (MDH) problem is to find a subset S′ of S such that S′ ∩ B ≠ ∅ for all B ∈ C b and |S′ ∩ R | ≤ k for all R ∈ C r . This paper presents a linear-time algorithm for the MDH problem with C r ∪ C b having the consecutive ones property. The presented algorithm improves the previous upper bound from O(|S|2).
