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...

An improved constant-time approximation algorithm for maximum~matchings
This paper studies constant-time approximation algorithms for problems on degree-bounded graphs. Let n and d be the number of vertices and the degree bound, respectively. This pap...

The Complexity of Finding Subgraphs Whose Matching Number Equals the Vertex Cover Number
The class of graphs where the size of a minimum vertex cover equals that of a maximum matching is known as K¨onig-Egerv´ary graphs. K¨onig-Egerv´ary graphs have been studied ex...

Vertex Cover in Graphs with Locally Few Colors
In [13], Erd˝os et al. defined the local chromatic number of a graph as the minimum number of colors that must appear within distance 1 of a vertex. For any ∆ ≥ 2, there are ...

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...
