Parameterized algorithm for eternal vertex cover
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...

A Primal-Dual Bicriteria Distributed Algorithm for Capacitated Vertex Cover
In this paper we consider the capacitated vertex cover problem which is the variant of vertex cover where each node is allowed to cover a limited number of edges. We present an ef...

On Approximating Minimum Vertex Cover for Graphs with Perfect Matching
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...

Vertex Cover Approximations: Experiments and Observations
The vertex cover problem is a classic NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is roughly 2. In this paper, we use a collection of simple reductions, e...

Primal-dual based distributed algorithms for vertex cover with semi-hard capacities
In this paper we consider the weighted, capacitated vertex cover problem with hard capacities (capVC). Here, we are given an undirected graph G = (V, E), non-negative vertex weigh...
