Abstract
In this paper we review the graph theoretic relaxations of the set cov ering problem (SCP) and the set partitioning problem (SSP). These are: a network relaxation which can be solved by the greedy method, a matc hing relaxation and a graph covering relaxation. Other relaxations suc h as assignment, shortest route and minimum spanning tree are also pre sented.
