Connected Vertex Covers in Dense Graphs
We consider the variant of the minimum vertex cover problem in which we require that the cover induces a connected subgraph. We give new approximation results for this problem in d...

Complexity and Approximation Results for the Connected Vertex Cover Problem
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...

Vertex and Edge Covers with Clustering Properties: Complexity and Algorithms
We consider the concepts of a t-total vertex cover and a t-total edge cover (t 1), which generalize the notions of a vertex cover and an edge cover, respectively. A t-total verte...

Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for Connected Vertex Cover in Unit Disk Graph
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...

Properties of vertex cover obstructions
We study properties of the sets of minimal forbidden minors for the families of graphs having a vertex cover of size at most k. We denote this set by O(k-VERTEX COVER) and call it...
