Kernelization as Heuristic Structure for the Vertex Cover Problem
Abstract. For solving combinatorial optimisation problems, exact methods accurately exploit the structure of the problem but are tractable only up to a certain size; approximation ...

Crown Structures for Vertex Cover Kernelization
Crown structures in a graph are defined and shown to be useful in kernelization algorithms for the classic vertex cover problem. Two vertex cover kernelization methods are discus...
