Approximation algorithms

the result that set cover cannot be approximated within (1 - o(1)) ln n under standard assumptions, matching the greedy algorithm.

In approximation algorithms, ln n threshold for set cover refers to the result that set cover cannot be approximated within (1 - o(1)) ln n under standard assumptions, matching the greedy algorithm. This meaning comes from Feige (1998) in Journal of the ACM.[1]
