Skinning of an ordered set of discrete circles is discussed in this paper. By skinning we mean the geometric construction of two G1 continuous curves touching each of the circles ...
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...
