A new algorithm for solving the optimal set-covering problem is established for the particular case of regular sets [\textit{P. L. Hammer}, \textit{U. N. Peled} and \textit{M. A. Pollatschek}, IEEE Trans. Comput. C-28, 238-243 (1979; Zbl 0394.94036)]. It is proved that the complexity of this algorithm is O(m n), where m is the number of elements in the given collection of subsets of the set \(\{x_ 1,x_ 2,...,x_ n\}\).
