Crowder et al. (Oper. Res. 31 (1983) 803–834) conjectured that the separation problem for cover inequalities for binary integer programs is polynomially solvable. We show that t...

— The minimum disc cover set can be used to construct the dominating set on the fly for energy-efficient communications in mobile ad hoc networks. The approach used to compute ...
We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...
Cycle covering is a well-studied problem in computer science. In this paper, we develop approximation algorithms for variants of cycle covering problems which bound the size and/o...

We introduce a novel stochastic local search algorithm for the vertex cover problem. Compared to current exhaustive search techniques, our algorithm achieves excellent performance ...
