A Metaheuristic Approach to Solving the Generalized Vertex Cover Problem
AMS Subj. Classification: 90C27, 05C85, 90C59 The topic is related to solving the generalized vertex cover problem (GVCP) by genetic algorithm. The problem is NP-hard as a generalization of well-known vertex cover problem which was one of the first problems shown to be NP-hard. The definition of the GVCP and basics of genetic algorithms are described. Details of genetic algorithm and numerical results are presented in [8]. Genetic algorithm obtained high quality solutions in a short period...
