Abstract
We define a NP-hard clustered variant of the Set Covering Problem where subsets are partitioned into K clusters and a fixed cost is paid for selecting at least one subset in a given cluster. This variant can reformulate as a master problem various multi-commodity flow problems in transportation planning.
