We consider the problem of minimizing a supermodular set function whose special case is the well-known NP-hard p-median problem. The main result of the paper is a tight bound on the approximation ratio of a greedy heuristic (discrete analog of the steepest descent algorithm) for this problem. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
