The Transversal Hypergraph Generation problem

The Transversal Hypergraph Generation problem is the problem of generating all minimal hitting sets (transversals) of a hypergraph.

Kavvadias and Stavropoulos have implemented an efficient algorithm for the problem [WAE99, JGAA05].

A linux-executable is available here (use switch -h for help).
