Minimum Vertex Cover in Rectangle Graphs
We consider the Minimum Vertex Cover problem in intersection graphs of axis-parallel rectangles on the plane. We present two algorithms: The first is an EPTAS for non-crossing rect...

A Local 2-Approximation Algorithm for the Vertex Cover Problem
We present a distributed 2-approximation algorithm for the minimum vertex cover problem. The algorithm is deterministic, and it runs in (∆ + 1)2 synchronous communication rounds,...

The importance of being biased
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...

Covering minimum spanning trees of random subgraphs
We consider the problem of finding a sparse set of edges containing the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a random subgraph of G with high probability. The two random models that we ...

A Memetic Algorithm for the Generalized Minimum Vertex-Biconnected Network Problem
Abstract--The generalized minimum vertex-biconnected network problem plays an important role in the design of survivable backbone networks that should be fault tolerant to single c...
