Abstract

In this paper, we will introduce an exact algorithm with a time complexity of O(1.299m)O^*(1.299^m) for the {\sc weighted mutually exclusive set cover} problem, where mm is the number of subsets in the problem. This problem has important applications in recognizing mutation genes that cause different cancer diseases.
