Submodular Optimization with Submodular Cover and Submodular Knapsack Constraints [PDF]
We investigate two new optimization problems -- minimizing a submodular function subject to a submodular lower bound constraint (submodular cover) and maximizing a submodular function subject to a submodular upper bound constraint (submodular knapsack ...
