A simple local 3-approximation algorithm for vertex cover
We present a local algorithm (constant-time distributed algorithm) for finding a 3-approximate vertex cover in bounded-degree graphs. The algorithm is deterministic, and no auxili...

Approximation of Partial Capacitated Vertex Cover
We study the partial capacitated vertex cover problem (pcvc) in which the input consists of a graph G and a covering requirement L. Each edge e in G is associated with a demand (o...

Analysis of population-based evolutionary algorithms for the vertex cover problem
— 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...

Local Maximal Matching and Local 2-Approximation for Vertex Cover in UDGs
We present 1 − approximation algorithms for the maximum matching problem in location aware unit disc graphs and in growth-bounded graphs. The algorithm for unit disk graph is loc...

Vertex Cover Approximations on Random Graphs
Abstract. The vertex cover problem is a classical NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is 2− o(1). In this paper, we use a collection of simple g...
