Improved non-approximability results for minimum vertex cover with density constraints
1999
Theoretical Computer Science
Preserved Fulltext
We provide new non-approximabili~ results for the restrictjons of the MIN VERTEX COVER problem to bounded-degree, sparse and dense graphs. ...
Then, we consider sparse graphs with no dense components (i.e. everywhere sparse graphs), and we show a similar result but with a better trade-off between non-approximability and spars&y. ...

In this paper the probabilistic method is presented for solving the minimum vertex cover problem using systems of non-linear equations that are formed on the basis of a neighborhood relationship of a particular ...
The experiment results show that our method has significantly better time complexity and much smaller frequency of the approximation errors in comparison with one of the most currently efficient algorithms ...
The results of our method (the non-linear equations method) were compared with one of the most optimized methods (the frequency method) for the minimum vertex cover on the random graphs in heterogeneous ...

This enables us to prove that Ek-Vertex-Cover is NP-hard to approximate within factor (k-1-ϵ) for any k ≥ 3 and any ϵ>0. ...
The result is essentially tight as this problem can be easily approximated within factor k. ...

Since finding the optimal solution for minimum vertex cover problem is NP-complete, approximation algorithms have to be used. ...
In this paper, we propose the notions of node observability and coverage utility score and design a new context-aware approximation algorithm to find vertex cover that is tailored for crowd-sensing task ...
In the next section, we discuss the constrained version of the two well-known approximation algorithms for minimum vertex cover problem with our modification to comply with the constraint on the maximum ...

In this paper, we describe a versatile strategy for mesh improvement by interpreting quality objectives as spatial constraints on resampling and develop a toolbox of local operators to improve the mesh ...
The conflicting nature of such objectives makes it challenging to establish similar guarantees for each combination, e.g., angle bounds and vertex count. ...

In this paper, we study the multistage variants of some important discrete minimization problems (including Minimum Cut, Vertex Cover, Set Cover, Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree, Prize-Collecting Traveling ...
For several polynomial-time solvable problems, such as Minimum Cost Perfect Matching, the multistage variant becomes hard to approximate (even for two time steps for Minimum Cost Perfect Matching). ...
In addition, the proposed 2-approximations are the best results that one can hope for these problems, unless there is a better approximation for Vertex Cover. ...
