The (k, r)-center problem asks whether an input graph G has ≤ k vertices (called centers) such that every vertex of G is within distance ≤ r from some center. In this paper we ...

In this paper we initiate the study of a "dynamic" variant of the classical Vertex Cover problem, the Eternal Vertex Cover problem introduced by Klostermeyer and Mynhard...

This paper reports work investigating various evolutionary approaches to vertex cover (VC), a well-known NP-Hard optimization problem. Central to each of the algorithms is a novel ...
Important generalizations of the Vertex Cover problem (Connected Vertex Cover, Capacitated Vertex Cover, and Maximum Partial Vertex Cover) have been intensively studied in terms of...
The paper presents distributed and parallel -approximation algorithms for covering problems, where is the maximum number of variables on which any constraint depends (for example...
