Abstract

If an element is inserted into or removed from a set, then the set covering problem can be reoptimized with some ratio $ \left( {2 - \frac{1}{{\ln m + 1}}} \right) $ , where m is the number of elements of the set. A similar result holds if an arbitrary number 1 p m of elements of the set is inserted or removed.
