Abstract

For a given two-dimensional array of nonnegative numbers and a positive integer p we want to find a covering of the array with p tiles so as to minimize the weight of the heaviest tile. We present a 9/4-approximation linear-time algorithm for this problem, which improves on the previous best result.
