We study a variation of the vertex cover problem where it is required that the graph induced by the vertex cover is connected. We prove that this problem is polynomial in chordal g...
Connected Vertex Cover Problem (CVC) is an NP-hard problem. The currently best known approximation algorithm for CVC has performance ration 2. This paper gives the first Polynomial...
It has been a challenging open problem whether there is a polynomial time approximation algorithm for the Vertex Cover problem whose approximation ratio is bounded by a constant l...
— Recently it has been proved that the (1+1)-EA produces poor worst-case approximations for the vertex cover problem. In this paper the result is extended to the (1+λ)-EA by pro...
We consider the problem of maintaining a large matching and a small vertex cover in a dynamically changing graph. Each update to the graph is either an edge deletion or an edge in...
