Weighted geometric set multi-cover via quasi-uniform sampling

<p>We give a randomized polynomial time algorithm with approximation ratio $O(\log \phi(n))$ for weighted set multi-cover instances with a shallow cell complexity of at most $f(z,k) =z\phi(z) k^{O(1)}$. Up to constant factors, this matches a recent result of Chan, Grant, Konemann and Sharpe fo...
