Improved local computation algorithm for set cover via sparsification

We design a Local Computation Algorithm (LCA) for the set cover problem. Given a set system where each set has size at most s and each element is contained in at most t sets, the algorithm reports whether a given set is in some fixed set cover whose expected size is O(log s) times the minimum fracti...
